FleetLog– Real-Time Fleet Tracking Powered by IoT

Overview

FleetLog, an Australian GPS fleet tracking company, provides small and medium- sized businesses with the tools to streamline operations, improve driver behavior, and enhance service delivery through IoT-enabled solutions. With an intuitive platform, FleetLog gives customers real-time visibility into vehicle location, trip history, and driver performance.

The Challenge

For many fleet-operating businesses – especially in service industries like plumbing, electrical, and delivery – visibility into driver activity and vehicle location is limited. Manual dispatching leads to inefficiencies, excessive fuel consumption, and inaccurate billing. FleetLog recognized the need for a real-time, cost- effective GPS tracking solution that could scale to meet growing customer demands and offer live data, not just historical tracking.

However, scaling this solution came with technical hurdles. New features such as live video and image retrieval required separate data delivery infrastructure. Ensuring consistent real-time performance also meant building a robust IoT backend capable of managing thousands of active SIMs.

The Solution

FleetLog partnered with KORE Wireless to embed IoT connectivity into its GPS tracking system. Each device is programmed to transmit vehicle location every 30 seconds over mobile networks using active data SIMs. This real-time data feeds directly into the FleetLog platform, providing customers with insights like:

  • Live vehicle location
  • Trip duration and distance
  • Odometer readings
  • Driver behavior ratings (e.g., harsh braking, speeding)

For advanced features like in-vehicle cameras, FleetLog developed an entirely new data protocol and server infrastructure, enabling live image/video recall via SMS.

KORE’s global IoT connectivity platform ensured reliable and cost-effective data transmission across the entire fleet. Their ability to pool data across SIMs and provide SMS (MO/MT) capabilities made it easier for FleetLog to optimize data usage and deliver rapid updates.

The Results

One notable success story involves a plumbing company with over 40 vehicles. By using FleetLog:

  • Dispatchers quickly identify the nearest available technician, reducing job response time.
  • Driver behavior improved due to monitoring and accountability – resulting in fewer maintenance issues from harsh driving.
  • Time-based billing became more accurate and defensible using GPS trip logs.

Across customers, FleetLog reports that most see improvements in service delivery and driver behavior within the first month of use. The ability to track real-time location and review past trips gives businesses a clear picture of operations – reducing waste and increasing profitability.

Why it Matters

FleetLog exemplifies how IoT technology is transforming traditional fleet tracking into a smart, connected service. By leveraging live data, edge-to-cloud connectivity, and scalable infrastructure, businesses can make smarter dispatch decisions, reduce fleet abuse, and improve customer satisfaction.
