What a fleet of 5 to 50 vehicles needs to start with GPS tracking, and what to avoid.
// Where to start
With fewer than 50 vehicles, the priority is live location, trip history and geofence alerts. Advanced reports can come later.
// Which device to choose
A basic tracker covers most cases. If you carry sensitive cargo or need to monitor fuel or temperature, pick a device with sensor inputs.
// Installation
A basic install connects the device to vehicle power and ignition. If you add a fuel sensor, calibrate it before trusting its reports.
// Costs to consider
Hardware, a data SIM and the platform. Hardware and SIM prices vary by country and supplier. At TrackeraX, managed plans start with L100, for 100 devices; the current price is at /pricing.
// Common mistakes
Installing without calibrating sensors, buying devices without local certification and choosing a platform with no app for the driver or customer.
// When to revisit the model
As the fleet you manage grows, compare the accumulated cost of fees with a perpetual license on your own server.
