Fleet Management Software in South Africa

Start with your real goal — recovery, fuel, driver safety, or SARS logbooks — not a long feature list. Pick a platform that includes the features you need without forcing a higher tier, works on your drivers’ phones, and lets you keep your own hardware. Check the total cost, including setup fees, tier jumps, and contract length. Then test it on real vehicles first. The Tracking Co includes every feature at one price and offers a live demo on real data.

Included. Every The Tracking Co subscription comes with the full platform at no extra charge — R50 per vehicle per month covers all of it. There is no separate software fee, no per-feature pricing, and no enterprise tier to unlock. Geofencing, reports, service reminders, and API access are all part of the standard subscription. Driver behaviour alerts are available on the FMC920 and FMC880 devices.

No. There are no feature tiers and no paywalls. Every subscription unlocks the entire platform from day one — the same features whether you track one vehicle or a hundred. You never pay extra to add geofencing, reports, alerts, or API access. The only optional add-on is stolen vehicle recovery at R44 per vehicle per month, for fleets that want 24/7 monitored response.

Yes. The platform runs on the web and on iOS and Android apps. Your drivers, dispatchers, and managers can each have their own login with the permissions you set. You get live tracking, trip history, and alerts on any device, wherever you are. The mobile apps are included — there is no separate app fee.

Both — it is one platform. Telematics is the vehicle data: location, speed, trips, and driver behaviour. Fleet management software is how you turn that data into action: geofences, alerts, reports, service reminders, and sub-accounts. The Tracking Co combines them, so you do not run two systems or pay two providers.

With The Tracking Co it is R50 per vehicle per month, with every feature included. Hardware is a once-off purchase you own — from R499 for the plug-in OBD Mini, or R769 for the hardwired 4G900L. There is no contract, no setup fee, and no charge to add features. Annual billing brings the subscription down to R45 per vehicle per month.

Not with The Tracking Co. Subscriptions are month-to-month and you can cancel anytime, with no penalties or early-termination fees. You own the hardware, so nothing ties you to us except the platform working well. Traditional providers use long contracts to recover rented hardware — The Tracking Co sells the hardware outright, so the lock-in is not needed.

Yes. The Tracking Co platform runs the same for five vehicles as for a hundred, with every feature included. Five bakkies fitted with the 4G900L cost R3,845 in hardware once-off and R250 a month in subscriptions. There is no minimum fleet size, no setup fee and no contract, so a small business can start with one vehicle and add the rest as it goes.

Yes. The standard The Tracking Co subscription is a self-monitored service: your team watches the fleet on the web platform and mobile app, and every alert comes straight to you. There is no control room in the loop unless you add stolen vehicle recovery at R44 per vehicle per month. Most fleets with their own operations team run tracking-only and add SVR to the vehicles that need it.
