GPS Tracking & Telematics
Eliminate blind spots in your asset tracking. With Track Star’s unified dashboard, all of your asset data — location, speed, diagnostics and performance metrics, and more — are at your fingertips.
Track Star’s comprehensive, single-pane glass view solution uses cutting edge technology to bring GPS tracking, telematics, and other asset management data to you. Track everything, everywhere, all at once.
GPS tracking and telematics for real-time fleet visibility
Our comprehensive GPS tracking and telematics software platform provides real-time tracking and monitoring — of your fleet, employees, trailers, power substations, or of anything else that can be mapped.
It’s more than simple location tracking. With the Track Star platform, you can pull data from virtually any device connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) and visualize it in an intuitive, easy to use dashboard. This unparalleled visibility enables you to make informed decisions, optimize routes, respond quickly to issues or emergencies, and a great deal more.
GPS tracking vs. telematics — what’s the difference
GPS and telematics are closely related technologies. In fact, they operate in much the same way. But they are not interchangeable terms.
GPS uses the Global Positioning System of satellites to locate an object on the map. It is an important technology that enables a number of useful functions, such as live asset location — including exact latitude, longitude, and altitude. Combining GPS tracking with other telematics devices unlocks other capabilities, including route history and speed monitoring.
Other key applications that rely on GPS tracking include:
- Navigation and routing
- Asset/fleet tracking
- Emergency response
- Logistics optimization
- Time synchronization
Telematics is the process of collecting data from a device in the field, sending it to a centralized location, and storing & displaying it. It relies on the IoT, the network of internet-connected devices. A telematics system is a network of IoT telematics devices, the data they collect, and the software used to view and analyze that data.
With telematics systems, virtually any piece of data can be collected from your vehicles:
- Vehicle idle time
- Driver behavior
- Fuel consumption
- Engine diagnostics
Unleash the full power of asset tracking
The core function of GPS tracking is to show on a map where an asset is located. It’s an important function, but just the tip of the iceberg. With the right EAM, GPS & telematics tracking can offer seamless, multifaceted visibility into the status of your equipment: get frequent updates and real-time notifications; virtually unlimited layers of geofencing, weather radar overlay, and traffic overlay; and advanced software integrations and IoT connections.
Unified Platform Benefits
Track Star boasts an easy-to-use dashboard with industry leading power and complexity. Transform and visualize asset data through Track Star’s distinctive platform — among the first to unify GPS tracking, telematics insights, and enterprise asset management.
The Track Star platform works with virtually every IoT device to maximize your data collection, and offers unmatched integration capabilities, including with complex systems like ESRI GIS.
You’ll also benefit from:
- Streamlined workflow and eliminated data silos
- A single-vendor relationship and unified data security
- Simplified updates, reporting, training, and support
- Consistent data that flows in real-time between systems
Comprehensive Driver Scorecards
By tracking driver behavior with the Driver Scorecard, you can promote safer driving habits across your team. Provide drivers with feedback and coaching based on this data in order to improve overall driver safety, reduce accidents, and lower both maintenance and insurance costs.Track Star’s Driver Scorecard analyzes data from a number of driver behaviors, including speeding, harsh braking, unsafe turns, and rapid acceleration.
With the video telematics package, the number of tracked driver behaviors can be increased to include:
Lane keeping
Tailgating
Smoking in vehicle
Seatbelt usage
Driver ID
Texting
Drowsiness
Distracted driving
Improve driver compliance
Poor driver behavior can lead to negative consequences on the road, and trying to manually complete and file safety reporting can lead to difficulties in the office. GPS and Telematics enables you to collect all relevant data, such as driver actions, violations, exact location, and road incidents. In Track Star’s platform, all of this data is collected in a single place, allowing for automated reporting and making enforcing policies easier than ever.

Operations
Ease Operational Inefficiencies
Fleet operations in the 21st century face modern problems. Track Star offers a full range of modern solutions. With all information available in a single dashboard, the data disconnect between different teams or job sites is gone, leading to smoother operations. The data itself can be used to improve route planning and idle times, identify unauthorized asset use, and minimize downtime for maintenance.
Cost Savings
Preventative maintenance and diagnostics
Monitor engine diagnostics, engine hours, battery levels, tire pressure, and other critical parameters. By receiving timely alerts and notifications for maintenance tasks and DTC codes, you can proactively schedule service, reduce breakdowns, and extend the lifespan of your fleet.
Data Management
Modern fleet, modern data management
Fleet services run on data. If you have poor data, or your data is spread over a number of disconnected systems, you’re going to miss important information and potentially run across reporting and compliance issues. The Track Star single-pane glass view brings the data collected by all of your devices, fleet-wide, into a single intuitive dashboard.
Productivity
Maximize your potential
Poor productivity hurts business. With a suite of advanced telematics solutions in a single user-friend dashboard, you can identify and eliminate the causes of reduced productivity: overlooked and underutilized assets, inefficient dispatching practices and the poor response times that can result, and the reduced visibility caused by poor data.With the real-time visibility and performance metrics enabled by Track Star’s comprehensive solution, you can help your fleet and crew maximize their potential.
