01 · What it is
Oversight of every vehicle the business runs.
Company vehicle tracking gives a business clear oversight of the cars, bakkies, and pool vehicles it puts on the road. The Tracking Co is a Cape Town-based GPS vehicle tracking company tracking since 2016, and it builds that oversight into one platform: live location, SARS-ready logbooks, geofencing, and driver data. You buy the hardware once and own it, activate tracking from R50 per vehicle per month, and manage everything from web and mobile — with no contract and no feature tiers.
Pool cars, sorted
Shared vehicles get messy fast. Driver tags tie every trip to the person who drove it, so a pool of cars stays as accountable as a one-driver bakkie.
Included, not tiered
Logbooks, geofencing, alerts, and reports ship with every subscription. No upgrade tier to unlock the features a business actually needs.
You own the platform
Hardware is yours from day one and the subscription is month-to-month. Move a device to a new company car yourself, with no provider admin or wait.
02 · The everyday problem
Tracking company vehicles and pool cars.
A company car is a business asset that lives away from the business. Without tracking, you rely on whatever the driver tells you — kilometres, fuel, and time on site all reported by the person spending them. Pool vehicles make it worse, because no single person owns the record.
The Tracking Co replaces that guesswork with data. Every trip is logged the moment a vehicle moves, attached to a driver where a tag is fitted, and visible to the people you choose. It works the same whether you run two company cars or a depot full of fleet vehicles.
Live location
See every company vehicle on one map, in real time, from the office or your phone.
Full trip history
Distance, stops, and times for every trip — kept automatically, not reconstructed later.
Per-driver records
Driver tags tie shared pool cars to the person behind the wheel on each trip.
03 · SARS logbooks
Business and private trips, split for SARS.
If staff claim a travel allowance, SARS expects a logbook with the date, distance, and reason for each business trip. Keeping that by hand across a set of company vehicles almost never holds up. The Tracking Co builds the logbook for you from real GPS trips, so the record is accurate instead of guessed at year-end.
Every trip lands in the platform as business or private, and drivers or the office can reclassify any trip in a couple of taps. Set default rules, review the month, and export a SARS-ready travel sheet when you need it. Read the step-by-step in our SARS-compliant logbook guide.
Auto-classified
Trips default to business or private by your rules — reclassify any one in a tap.
SARS-ready export
Date, distance, and reason per trip, in the travel-sheet format SARS expects.
Built from GPS
Distances come from actual trips, not odometer photos or end-of-year memory.
Tax rules change and every business is different — confirm a specific claim with a tax practitioner. The platform gives you the accurate, exportable record that claim depends on.
04 · Geofencing & after-hours
Geofencing and after-hours use.
A company vehicle is meant for company work. Geofences and after-hours alerts let you know the moment that line is crossed — a car leaving its assigned area, or moving at midnight on a weekend — without anyone watching a screen. Alerts reach you by WhatsApp, email, or push, and they are included in every subscription.
Geofencing & zone alerts
Draw zones around sites, branches, and customer addresses. Get entry and exit alerts so you know vehicles are where they should be — and hear about it when they are not.
How geofencing works →After-hours & misuse
Set allowed hours per vehicle and get told about movement outside them. On the 4G900L and FMC920, an optional R200 engine-cutoff relay lets you immobilise a vehicle remotely.
See the platform → 05 · Driver accountability
Tie every trip to a driver.
Knowing where a vehicle went is half the picture. With a driver ID tag on the FMC920 or FMC880, you also know who was driving. Each driver taps their tag to start the vehicle, and the platform records the driver against every trip, speed event, and after-hours alert.
For shared pool cars, that is the difference between a vague fleet report and real accountability. Driver behaviour alerts run on the same FMC920 and FMC880 motion sensor once it's configured for them, so hard braking, speeding, and idling events attach to the driver — not just the vehicle.
Driver ID tags
Tap to start. Every trip is attributed to the driver, not just the vehicle. FMC920 / FMC880.
Per-driver behaviour
Driver behaviour events attributed by person across a shared pool — speeding, braking, idling.
Sub-accounts
Give each manager their own login, scoped to the vehicles you assign them.
06 · The model
Own the hardware. Skip the contract.
Most providers rent you the tracker and lock the company into a 24- to 36-month contract to recover it. When a vehicle is sold or a manager changes, you are still paying. The Tracking Co works the other way: you buy the device once and own it, and the subscription is month-to-month.
That means devices move with you. Sell a company car and shift its tracker to the replacement yourself — no calls, no admin delay. Cancel anytime with no penalty, and the hardware stays with the business. It is the same flexible model behind our wider fleet tracking service.
07 · Pricing

How the pricing works: buy your hardware once and own it — OBD Mini R499, 4G900L R769, or FMC920 R999. Then activate tracking at R50 per vehicle per month. Driver identification needs the FMC920 or FMC880. The optional engine-cutoff relay is R200 once-off, and stolen vehicle recovery is an optional R44 per vehicle per month.
08 · Common questions
Company vehicle tracking questions, answered.
Can I separate business and private trips?
Yes. The Tracking Co platform classifies every trip as business or private, and your drivers or office can reclassify any trip in a couple of taps. Each trip carries the date, distance, start and end point, and times. You can set default rules — for example, all weekday-hours travel as business — and export a clean split whenever you need it. This is what makes the logbook usable for travel-allowance and SARS purposes without anyone keeping a paper book.
Are the logbooks SARS-compliant?
The platform produces a SARS-ready travel logbook with the date, distance, and reason for each trip — the detail SARS expects to support a travel-allowance claim. The Tracking Co generates this automatically from real GPS trips, so the record is accurate rather than reconstructed at year-end. Tax rules change and circumstances differ, so confirm your specific claim with a tax practitioner — but the underlying data and the export format are built for exactly this.
Can drivers be identified?
Yes, with a driver ID tag on the FMC920 or FMC880. Each driver carries a tag and taps it to start the vehicle, so the platform records who drove which vehicle on every trip — not just the car. That turns trip data, speeding, and after-hours use into per-driver accountability across a pool of shared vehicles. Driver identification needs the tag-capable hardware; The Tracking Co fits the FMC920 or FMC880 where you need it.
Does company vehicle tracking need a contract?
Not with The Tracking Co. Subscriptions are month-to-month at R50 per vehicle per month and you can cancel anytime, with no penalties or early-termination fees. You buy the hardware once and own it outright — from R499 for the plug-in OBD Mini or R769 for the hardwired 4G900L. Traditional providers use 24- to 36-month contracts to recover rented hardware. Because The Tracking Co sells the device to you, that lock-in is not needed.
How much does it cost to track a company vehicle?
With The Tracking Co it is R50 per vehicle per month for the full platform, with every feature included and no tiers. Hardware is a once-off purchase you own — from R499. There is no setup fee and no charge to add features like geofencing or logbooks. Annual billing brings the subscription down to R45 per vehicle per month. Stolen vehicle recovery is an optional add-on at R44 per vehicle per month.
Can I control after-hours and unauthorised use?
Yes. Set after-hours and geofence alerts and the platform tells you the moment a company vehicle moves outside its allowed window or leaves an assigned zone — by WhatsApp, email, or push. On the 4G900L and FMC920 you can also fit an optional engine-cutoff relay to immobilise a vehicle remotely. The Tracking Co includes the alerts in every subscription; the relay is a once-off R200 add-on.
Can each manager see only their own vehicles?
Yes. The Tracking Co platform supports sub-accounts and user permissions, so a branch manager or team lead sees only the vehicles you assign them while head office keeps the full view. Every login works on web and the iOS and Android apps. Sub-accounts are included in the standard R50 per vehicle per month subscription — there is no extra fee and no enterprise tier to unlock them.
