Provider-by-provider

Procon Telematics

Procon's defining feature is one most buyers don't see at first: it is the technology engine behind fleet brands you may already trust. Procon co-designed and powers Toyota Fleet Management's ForceField telematics and car-share platform, and supplies the telematics layer behind Custom Fleet — including Custom Fleet's preferred-supplier position under New Zealand's All-of-Government Fleet Management Services contract. When a major leasing or OEM-backed brand needs a telematics platform robust enough to put their own name on, they have repeatedly chosen Procon. That is a different kind of credential to a marketing claim.

Procon is Australian-owned, established in 2010, and runs its FleetLocate platform on infrastructure hosted in Sydney in compliance with Australian privacy law . Both FleetLocate and FleetShare are SOC 2 Type 2 compliant — independently audited against the AICPA Trust Services Criteria, which is a meaningfully higher bar than a self-declared security posture and matters for government and regulated-industry procurement. Procon serves enterprise and government fleets across Australia and NZ, including police, utilities, mining, banks, and logistics and transport operators.

Procon owns the entire stack end-to-end: it engineers and selects the in-vehicle hardware, runs the IoT platform and SaaS, exposes open APIs and bespoke "manage-by-exception" dashboards, and operates its own national installation network of 500+ auto-electricians coordinated through its OrderInstall platform. The module range is broad — ProView AI dash cameras, ATO-approved digital FBT logbooks, PreStart checklists, mining IVMS, temperature monitoring, FleetShare pool-car management, fuel tax credit reporting, lone-worker protection and satellite coverage via Pivotel — all in one platform, billed only for what you use.

The honest trade-off: Procon is built for enterprise and government fleets and prices by quote, so it isn't aimed at the one- or two-vehicle owner-operator looking for instant self- serve pricing. And while Procon covers compliance reporting and integrates certified partners, operators whose single overriding need is formal NHVR road-access compliance should also look at the dedicated compliance specialists below.

Choose Procon if: you want a locally-owned, SOC 2-audited partner that hosts your data in Australia, owns the whole stack from hardware to installation, and is trusted to power other leading fleet brands — with the breadth to cover enterprise and government use cases in a single platform.

Teletrac Navman

Teletrac Navman is one of the most established names in ANZ fleet telematics, formed in 2015 from the merger of Teletrac and Navman and now part of the Vontier group. Independent market research (Berg Insight) consistently ranks it among the top providers in Australia and New Zealand by active units. Its DIRECTOR platform offers GPS tracking, driver scorecards, maintenance and analytics, and it has real depth in ANZ-specific Chain of Responsibility (CoR) compliance — regulatory knowledge that is genuinely hard to build.

Local technical support is frequently highlighted as a strength. Common criticisms include slower interface modernisation compared with newer platforms and quote-only pricing.

Choose Teletrac Navman if: you're a large Australian or New Zealand fleet wanting an established provider with deep Chain of Responsibility expertise.

EROAD

EROAD is a New Zealand-founded, dual-listed (NZX:ERD / ASX:ERD) specialist in connected fleet management with a strong heavy-transport and compliance heritage. It is a top-tier ANZ provider and the natural shortlist entry when regulatory compliance is the priority: it supports the full suite of National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) requirements including Road Infrastructure Management (RIM), Telematics Monitoring Application (TMA) and certified Electronic Work Diary (EWD), alongside fuel tax credit and cold-chain solutions and an AI dashcam. Its light-vehicle Etrack Locate product (Geotab-powered) starts from around $35/ month, and it has won large enterprise contracts such as a multi-year Cleanaway deployment across 3,000+ heavy vehicles.

Choose EROAD if: your priority is certified NHVR compliance together with fuel tax, cold-chain monitoring and heavy transport capability.

Verizon Connect

Verizon Connect, owned by US telecommunications giant Verizon, is a global platform that ranks among the top five providers in ANZ. Its Reveal platform is mature and award-winning, with particular strength in video telematics and AI-driven driver safety (it has collected multiple 2026 industry awards in fleet intelligence and video), plus EV monitoring, asset tracking and field-service dispatch. The considerations for Australian buyers are that it is globally headquartered with global infrastructure, and that much of its compliance heritage (ELD/HOS/FMCSA) is US-centric rather than built first for Australian road law.

Choose Verizon Connect if: you're a mid-to-large fleet wanting a mature, heavily-awarded video telematics and safety platform backed by global scale.

Geotab

Geotab is one of the largest telematics companies in the world, connecting over four million vehicles globally, and is widely respected for its open MyGeotab platform, its vast Marketplace of third-party add-ons (including an ATO-approved trip logbook), best-in-class EV and OEM data depth, and its plug-and-play GO device. The key structural difference for buyers is that Geotab is sold exclusively through authorised resellers rather than direct — so pricing is not standardised, and the quality of your support, installation and account relationship depends on which reseller you choose rather than on Geotab itself. The MyGeotab interface is powerful but can be a lot to absorb for first-time fleet managers.

Choose Geotab if:you prioritise EV and engine-data depth and a huge add-on ecosystem, and you're comfortable buying and being supported through a third-party reseller.

MTData

MTData is an Australian telematics company established in 2003 and now a subsidiary of Telstra, with hardware designed, manufactured and serviced in Australia and a top-tier Procon Telematics · proconmrm.com.au Page 5 of 7 ANZ market position. Its standout strength is certified heavy-vehicle compliance: through its TCS arm it is a TCA-certified service provider for the Intelligent Access Program (IAP), On-Board Mass (OBM), Telematics Monitoring Application (TMA) and Performance-Based Standards (PBS) schemes. It runs on the Telstra network with Iridium satellite for out-of- coverage areas, offers DVR cameras and an open API, and is trusted by major heavy- transport operators such as Linfox.

Choose MTData if: you operate heavy vehicles and need the deepest certified road-access compliance from an Australian-built, Telstra-backed platform.

How to choose

The decision generally comes down to three questions:

What are you accountable for?
If certified NHVR road-access compliance is your primary requirement, EROAD and MTData should be on your shortlist. If you require a broader enterprise platform covering tracking, AI safety, FBT, mining, pool vehicles and enterprise asset management, Procon is designed for that breadth.

Who do you want to be accountable to you?
A direct Australian-owned provider that owns hardware, software and installation offers a single point of responsibility, whereas global providers deliver international scale and reseller models provide greater ecosystem flexibility.

Where does your fleet data live?
Government and regulated industries increasingly value Australian data hosting together with independently audited security certifications such as SOC 2 Type II.

Across all six providers, GPS tracking, geofencing, driver scoring and alerts are now standard capabilities. The real differentiators are ownership, compliance depth, platform breadth and long-term accountability.

Frequently asked questions

Who are the leading fleet telematics providers in Australia?

Independent market research identifies Teletrac Navman, EROAD and MTData among the largest providers in Australia and New Zealand by active fleet subscriptions. Verizon Connect is also one of the largest global providers, while Geotab has a significant local presence through authorised resellers. Procon Telematics is an established Australian-owned provider powering several major fleet brands, including Toyota Fleet Management and Custom Fleet.

Which telematics platform is best for heavy-vehicle compliance?

For certified NHVR schemes such as IAP, OBM, TMA and EWD, dedicated compliance specialists including MTData and EROAD are typically the strongest choices. Organisations requiring broader enterprise fleet management together with compliance reporting, AI safety, asset management and integrations often consider Procon.

Is my fleet data stored in Australia?

It depends on the provider. Procon hosts FleetLocate on infrastructure located in Sydney and is SOC 2 Type II audited. MTData is Australian-built, while several global platforms operate on international cloud infrastructure. Organisations with data sovereignty requirements should verify hosting arrangements directly with each provider.

Can I buy Geotab directly?

No. Geotab products are sold exclusively through authorised resellers. Pricing, implementation, installation and ongoing support therefore depend on the reseller selected rather than Geotab directly. Providers such as Procon, MTData, EROAD, Teletrac Navman and Verizon Connect engage directly with customers.

What does fleet telematics cost in Australia?

Most enterprise telematics providers price solutions based on fleet size, installed hardware and enabled modules. Some providers publish entry-level pricing—for example, EROAD lists light-vehicle tracking from approximately $35 per month—while Geotab pricing varies between resellers. Procon provides enterprise quotations and bills customers only for the modules they use.
