How telematics works

With an easy to install on-board unit or telematics box, our fleet management software has a range of features to help you make better-informed decisions for your fleet. No matter the size of your operation, we can help you save money on fuel, improve driver safety and operate more efficiently.

Get the most out of your data

1) Payment solution integration
The Shell Card is a simple and secure way to buy fuel and charge your vehicles as well as track expenditure, connecting you to one of the largest fuel networks in the world. Combining Shell Card and vehicle data from your on-board device means more help to control one of your highest operating costs.

2) Secure storage and analysis
We gather your transaction, vehicle and driver data and store it securely in the cloud (we are fully GDPR compliant), giving you complete visibility of your fleet’s current and historical activity.

3) Fleet manager’s overview
These reports allow you to quickly act on key information. For example, you can initiate driver coaching to improve driver safety and reduce accidents or find more efficient routes for your drivers.
