Telematics improves safety and efficiency in transport
The transport and logistics sector faces mounting pressure to improve delivery performance, reduce operating costs, and meet regulatory standards. In South Africa, fluctuating fuel prices, high accident rates, and theft risks have made fleet telematics essential. Cartrack’s data-led platform helps clients monitor driver performance, prevent misuse, and optimise route planning.
Real-time insights enable businesses to cut fuel waste, reduce downtime, and lower insurance risk. With rising demand for operational efficiency, telematics platforms like Cartrack’s are vital to staying competitive. The company’s integration with fuel sensors, dash cams, and mobile workflows positions it as a full-service mobility provider.
In regions with high crime or infrastructure challenges, features like stolen vehicle recovery and real-time alerts add extra value. Cartrack’s expansion into international markets also highlights the growing global demand for smart fleet visibility and predictive analytics, especially in emerging economies.
