Commercial fleet
GPS tracking
GPS trackers for vans, service vehicles and delivery fleets, reporting location, trips and motion events to RIOD Live or to the fleet platform you already use. Privacy and access rules are agreed before the first unit is fitted.
THE PROBLEM
Fleet managers need answers, drivers need fair rules
A fleet of service vans generates the same questions every week. Which engineer is closest to the urgent job? Why did fuel spend jump on one vehicle? Was the van parked at the depot over the weekend, or at someone's house? Without tracking, the answers come from phone calls and timesheets, and both are easy to dispute.
Many fleets already tried a consumer-grade tracker or a bundled subscription. The usual result is data locked inside one vendor's portal, a device that drops off the map in basements and depots, and a works council or HR team asking who can see a driver's location after hours.
Good fleet tracking solves both sides: reliable location and trip data for operations, and clear, written rules about what is collected, who sees it and how long it is kept.
HOW WE SET IT UP
Tracking built around your fleet and your policy
We start from the vehicles you run and the platform your dispatchers already open every morning.
GNSS and cellular matched to your region
Satellite positioning with cellular reporting, configured for the countries and networks your vehicles drive in. Reporting intervals are set per fleet, so a courier van and a pool car report at rates that suit their work.
Trips, stops and motion events
The tracker turns raw position into trip starts, stops, idling and movement events, each with a timestamp. That is the data behind route reviews, timesheet checks and job allocation.
Into the platform you authorise
Data goes to RIOD Live, to a server you own, or into your existing fleet or ERP system through an API. Device traffic runs over MQTT with TLS 1.2, so location data travels encrypted.
Privacy designed in from day one
Before rollout we agree with you which data is collected, which roles can view it and how long it is retained. Those rules are set up in the platform, which gives HR and legal teams a clear answer when drivers ask.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask us
Can GPS trackers for company vehicles work with our existing fleet software?
Yes. The tracker can report to RIOD Live, to your own server, or into your existing fleet or ERP platform through an API. We agree the data format during the project so your dispatchers keep the screens they know.
How do we handle driver privacy with fleet GPS tracking?
Set the rules before installation: what data is collected, who can view it and how long it is kept. We configure those rules in the platform and help you document them, which makes the conversation with drivers and HR far easier.
What data does a fleet tracker give beyond location?
Trip start and end, stops, idling and motion events, all time-stamped. With the vehicle interface customised to your vehicles, signals such as ignition can be added, which makes trip and working-time reports more reliable.
Can we get fleet trackers under our own brand?
Yes. White-label supply starts at 100 units with your logo and labels, and the mobile app can carry your branding too.
