What is a Fleet Tracking System?


A GPS fleet tracking system is a management tool that utilizes the Global Positioning System (GPS/GNSS) by installing hardware devices on vehicles to transmit data such as location, speed, and direction to a cloud platform in real-time via mobile networks or satellite signals. After data analysis, this information is displayed on a dashboard or mobile application. It is widely known as vehicle tracking, AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location), or a fleet tracking system.
