What Is Telematics?

Telematics is a multi-disciplinary field that utilizes electrical sensors, vehicle diagnostics, road safety and wireless technology to transmit valuable information and data related to vehicles and fleets. In simple terms, Telematics is technology that combines GPS tracking and wireless communications to collect usage-based data about your vehicles and your drivers’ behaviors.

Telematics technology has been around for several years. The Telematics industry continues to grow as commercial fleets adopt the technology at a steady rate. Fleets across all industries are finding that Telematics is providing insight they never had before to help reduce costs, reduce risk, and increase revenue.
