Telematics went from military GPS tracking to a powerful fleet management tool that prevents problems before they arise. Now, it’s all about control, confidence, and peace of mind for fleet owners. Want to see how telematics can transform your fleet? This article breaks down how modern telematics solutions work, real-life success stories, and the answers you’ve been looking for, like where your vehicles are and how to cut fuel costs. Feel free to dive in!

In most operations, the plan and the work live in different places. The plan's on a board, or in a dispatcher's head. The work's out on a site, in a truck, spread across locations. And whatever actually happened comes back later in pieces — a phone call, a half-remembered note, a photo that never got sent. Tasks v2 closes that gap. You set up the work the way your business runs it, your crew does it from their phone, and when it's done you open the task and see exactly how it went — who did what, when, how much — without calling anyone to ask. It doesn't much matter whether you dispatch field crews, haul materials between sites, run service calls, or coordinate office work across locations. The point of Tasks v2 is that it bends to your process instead of forcing you into someone else's.

Assets is a new Console section for the things that are not vehicles. Give a tool a QR sticker, see where it was last scanned, and let your crew sign it out by filling a form on the phone.

Imagine it’s a Monday morning, and your fleet of 100 construction vehicles is ready to hit the road. You’ve got a bunch of active job orders, and one of them is pretty critical: your concrete mixer truck needs to be at a construction site by 8 a.m. sharp.

Most "fleet management software" was built for long-haul trucking or service vehicles — construction is the asset-mixed reality in between, and most vendors treat it as an afterthought. Here are the four capabilities that actually matter for a construction fleet, starting with dispatch, plus an honest vendor-by-vendor look at how Samsara, Motive, Fleetio, Verizon Connect, Tenna, and Fleet Chaser handle each.

Managing a fleet is not just about tracking vehicles—it’s about staying informed, reacting instantly to critical events, and making better business decisions. That’s why we are launching the Fleet Chaser Event System, a powerful, customizable tool that lets you create rules tailored specifically to your company’s needs and receive real-time alerts when key events occur.

Every part of the Employee App's navigation moved: the bar along the bottom, the menu behind the hamburger, and the first screen your crew sees. The new one is built around the shift.

Unexpected downtime presents a tangible setback for your fleet. Not only is your asset now off the road, but you have to tweak your operations and allocate finances to accommodate for it.
