Vehicle tracking for businesses

Vehicle tracking is the use of GPS tracking technology to monitor the real-time location, movement, and status of vehicles within a fleet. A small telematics device installed in each vehicle transmits location data to a secure online platform, allowing fleet managers to view routes, speed, idling time, and vehicle health from a single dashboard. Businesses use vehicle tracking to improve fleet efficiency and customer service, reduce fuel, insurance and operational costs, while enhancing driver safety.

Radius offers a number of different GPS tracker devices for vehicles. Typically, these devices can be installed by you, but professional installation is also available. Speak to a member of our team today to discuss which vehicle tracker is best for you. 

Yes, a mobile app is available and is ideal for business owners and managers who are always on the move. Keep track of your company’s vehicles and monitor driver behaviour wherever you are.

Vehicle tracking costs typically vary based on fleet size, vehicle types, tracking needs and software features. We can provide you with a tailored quote following a fleet assessment.

Larger fleets usually benefit from lower per-vehicle rates. Investments in tracking are generally offset by fuel savings, potential reduced insurance premiums, more uptime and improved efficiency.

A vehicle tracking system is a combination of hardware and software that allows businesses to monitor and manage their fleet vehicles in real time.

Our vehicle tracking system includes:

• GPS tracking devices fitted to each vehicle that transmit location and vehicle data via GPS and cellular networks. Equipped with SIM cards, they work across the UK and Europe and provide location accuracy of up to 3 metres.
• Cloud-based fleet management software that captures and analyses vehicle, driver and journey data in a single online platform.
• A desktop dashboard and mobile app that provide live vehicle locations, trip histories and vehicle diagnostics.

Vehicle tracking systems are widely used by delivery companies, service providers, and logistics businesses to improve accountability, cut operating costs, and streamline day-to-day fleet operations.

A GPS vehicle tracking system works by using a small device installed in the vehicle to receive location signals from GPS satellites. The device calculates the vehicle's precise position, speed, and direction, then transmits this data via a mobile network to a central server.

Fleet managers can then access this information through a web portal or app, seeing live vehicle locations on a map alongside useful reporting such as mileage, journey history, driving behaviour and other metrics. These insights help businesses plan routes more efficiently and respond quickly to changes on the road. As well as improving productivity, profitability, safety and security.

Vehicle tracking devices are typically installed in discreet, protected locations to ensure reliable operation and minimise visibility. Common installation points include under the dashboard, behind the fuse box, within the OBD-II port, under seats, or inside the engine bay near the battery. Professional installers choose locations with good GPS signal reception and easy access to the vehicle's power supply, while also ensuring the device is secure and unlikely to be accidentally disconnected during normal vehicle use.

Vehicle tracking devices work by using GPS technology to determine a vehicle's exact location, then transmitting this data over a mobile network to a cloud-based platform. The device continuously collects information such as speed, direction, and stationary time, updating the system in real time.

This data is processed and displayed through a fleet management dashboard such as Kinesis or Kinesis Pro, giving business owners and managers instant insights into vehicle locations, journey histories, and driving patterns, supporting better fleet planning, cost control, and improved driver behaviour.
