$25-50k
Average cost of a stolen tradie van
Without GPS recovery, insurance pays out 60-70% of replacement. With tracking, recovery rates above 90%.
8-12%
Typical fuel saving after install
Drivers stop the long lunches and the personal detours when they know the ute reports its location.
$15-50
Monthly cost per vehicle
Australian-market typical. One prevented theft pays for the system for 40+ years on a one-van fleet.
How it works

One enquiry. Three matched vendors. No auction.

Tell us about your fleet. We match you with the vendors that genuinely fit, not whichever one paid for the click. You pick.

01

Tell us about your fleet

Number of vehicles, the trade you work in, what you want to solve (theft, fuel, customer disputes, all of it). Sixty seconds, no account needed.

02

We match you to vendors

We send your brief to the two or three GPS tracking vendors that actually fit, based on fleet size, budget, and use case. No firehose of cold calls.

03

You pick the one you like

They each call you with a real quote and demo. You compare on price, contract terms, and gut feel. You decide. We do not chase you.

Vendors we cover

The GPS trackers Australian tradies actually use.

Honest, neutral notes on the systems we see in the Australian market. We will not recommend a vendor we wouldn't put our own fleet on.

Quartix
Best for small fleets
UK-headquartered, strong in 1-15 vehicle fleets. No-contract option, clean app, decent fuel reporting. Plug-and-play hardware. Mid-tier price.
Linxio
Best for AU support
Australian-owned, Australian support team. Heavier feature set. Good for trades growing past 5 vans who want one platform for everything.
Teletrac Navman
Best for compliance-heavy work
Enterprise-grade. Strong on driver-behaviour scoring + chain-of-responsibility reporting. Often overkill for under-5-van fleets but bulletproof at scale.
EROAD
Best for heavy vehicles
NZ-headquartered, deep Australian footprint. Strong in larger-vehicle, civil + construction trades. RUC + fatigue management built in.
Geotab
Best for data + integrations
Open platform, deep API. Best if you want telematics data flowing into your other software. Pairs with several Australian reseller programs.
Cartrack
Best for theft recovery
Strongest stolen-vehicle recovery network in Australia. If your priority is "if this van walks I want it back", Cartrack is hard to beat.
