Vehicle and asset tracking
Use supported location and status reporting for the appropriate duty cycle. Battery-powered assets and powered vehicles may need different reporting expectations.
Connected technology / Telematics Devices
Bring a mixed tracking estate into one operational view.
Connect compatible vehicle trackers, asset devices and sensor gateways through an integration designed around reliable identity, reporting and operational ownership.
Plan your integrationMAKE THE CONNECTION USEFULStart with the decision.
Start with the decision.
Design the data around it.
A mixed fleet may include several device generations and suppliers. The practical question is which signals and functions each device can provide, how reliably they arrive and how the hardware is associated with a vehicle over time. Fleetly can assess an existing estate so a phased deployment preserves useful technology while exposing gaps clearly.
PRACTICAL USE CASES
Where this integration can add value.
Device-to-vehicle history
Retain the dates a device is assigned to a vehicle. A replacement or transfer should not silently merge unrelated journeys.
Reporting health
Review last contact and expected reporting behaviour before classifying a device as faulty. Parked or sleeping devices may report differently.
Connected sensor inputs
Assess available ignition, digital input or sensor signals as part of the device-specific contract. Validate behaviour in the installed vehicle.
Every connection has a working path.
Select a stage to see what needs to happen and why it matters.
Telematics Devices / Inventory
Understand the installed estate
Record models, firmware, ownership and the data each use case needs.
Read the complete workflow
- Understand the installed estate
Record models, firmware, ownership and the data each use case needs.
- Validate the supported interface
Confirm connectivity, message format, timestamp handling and permitted operations.
- Map devices to real assets
Record stable identifiers and time-bounded assignments to vehicles or equipment.
- Use the operational data
Show reporting freshness and relevant status alongside position and journey context.
- Manage replacements and exceptions
Resolve stale data, configuration changes and device transfers through an accountable support process.
DATA WITH CONTEXT
Agree the meaning before moving the data.
These are scoping considerations, not field names or a published API schema. Confirm the exact contract for your implementation.
| Data area | Why it matters | What to validate |
|---|---|---|
| Device identifier | Identifies the reporting hardware or source. | Check uniqueness and replacement handling. |
| Source timestamp | Records when a reading was produced. | Distinguish delayed delivery from current data. |
| Position and quality | Describes the available location evidence. | Retain reporting gaps and quality indicators where supplied. |
| Ignition / activity | Provides operational status context. | Validate wiring, source and device-specific meaning. |

COMMON QUESTIONSUnderstand the scope.
Understand the scope.
Plan with confidence.
Can I keep existing trackers?
Potentially. Share the model, firmware, interface and required functions so Fleetly can assess compatibility.
Does device-agnostic mean every device is supported?
No. It means integration can be designed across compatible sources rather than assuming one hardware choice fits every requirement.
Is an old location a live vehicle position?
No. Always use the source timestamp and reporting freshness when interpreting location.
Can Fleetly issue commands to every device?
Command support is a separate capability that depends on hardware, interface, permissions and configuration. Confirm the required commands explicitly.
SUPPORTING RESOURCES
Take the next step with a clear plan.
Confirm your production scope.
Features and integration methods depend on the agreed devices, interfaces, permissions and enabled modules. Request the current technical documentation before implementation; never include passwords or access tokens in an initial enquiry.
