01 · Why TTC
Built for fleet operators who want control.
The Tracking Co is a Cape Town-based GPS vehicle tracking company, tracking since 2016. Unlike traditional providers, TTC sells hardware outright and bills month-to-month — your team manages tracking in-house, with no contract tying you to a provider's timeline.
You own the hardware
One purchase. Your device, permanently. Move it between vehicles when you need to — no admin, no calls to us. When you sell a vehicle, transfer the tracker to the next one.
Everything included
Every platform feature — geofencing, alerts, SARS logbooks, sub-accounts, API access, whitelabel. No paywalls, no upgrade tiers. Full access from day one at every subscription level.
In-house management
Your auto electricians install. Your team manages the platform. Keep spare units on hand — a new vehicle is tracked within hours of joining your fleet. No waiting on a provider's schedule.
02 · How it works
Four steps. Your team handles it.
01
Buy your devices outright
Choose the 4G900L (R769) or FMC920 (R999) — or the FMC880 for outdoor plant, or the FMB140 for CAN BUS data. See the full hardware range. Tracking trailers, plant, generators or other equipment? See asset & equipment tracking → Once-off purchase — yours permanently. No rental, no hidden device fees, no contract to sign.
02
Your team installs
Your auto electrician or mechanic wires the unit. We guide them through it on WhatsApp. Most standard vehicle installs take under 45 minutes.
03

Live map, SARS logbooks, geofencing, driver reports. It's full fleet management software on web and mobile — everything included from day one, whether you run a mixed fleet or just company vehicle tracking.

05 · The model difference
Your fleet. Your infrastructure.
Traditional providers control your tracking setup. Installations need to be arranged through them. Device moves require calls and wait times. The contract keeps you locked in.
With TTC, you own the hardware from day one. Your team installs using your preferred auto electrician. Move a device between vehicles immediately — no calls, no admin. Keep spare units on hand so any new vehicle is tracked within hours.

07 · Engine cutoff
Engine cutoff — optional security for every fleet.
Add a relay to any 4G900L or FMC920 and your team can cut the engine of any vehicle directly from the tracking app. One R199 relay per vehicle — installed by your auto electrician alongside the tracker. No ongoing fee.
If a vehicle is stolen or hijacked, the engine can be cut remotely to bring it to a stop. This makes recovery significantly easier and reduces the distance a stolen vehicle travels. The cutoff can be triggered and released from the platform — your team has full control.
R199 once-off
No ongoing subscription cost. Pay once when the relay is installed.
App-controlled
Cut or restore the engine remotely from the tracking platform. Your team has full control.
4G900L + FMC920
Compatible with both fleet workhorse devices. Relay wired in by your auto electrician.
Engine cutoff is designed for responsible use — cut only vehicles you own or manage. If you're using SVR, 24/7 recovery operators can coordinate the cutoff on your behalf.
08 · Installation

09 · Common questions
Fleet tracking questions, answered.
Does fleet tracking require a contract?
No. The Tracking Co does not require contracts for fleet tracking. Subscriptions are month-to-month from R50 per vehicle and can be cancelled at any time with no penalties or early termination fees. Unlike traditional tracking providers that use 24–36 month agreements to recover device rental costs, The Tracking Co sells hardware outright — so there is no need to lock customers in.
Can my team manage the tracking platform in-house?
Yes. Because clients own the hardware, your team has full control of your fleet tracking infrastructure. Your mechanics or auto electricians can install and move devices. Your operations team manages sub-accounts, geofences, alerts, and reports directly on the platform. The Tracking Co does not need to be involved for day-to-day fleet management.
How quickly can I add a new vehicle to the fleet?
If you keep spare units on hand, a new vehicle can be tracked within hours of joining your fleet. Your auto electrician installs the device, you send The Tracking Co the vehicle details, and the tracker appears on the platform within minutes. There is no waiting for a provider to arrange an installation slot.
What is included in a fleet subscription?
Every The Tracking Co subscription includes: live GPS tracking, full trip history, geofencing, speed and tamper alerts, SARS-compliant logbook records, sub-accounts, unlimited notifications, API access, and whitelabel access. Everything is included at every subscription level — there are no paywalls or feature tiers. Driver behaviour alerts are available on the FMC920 and FMC880 when the device is configured for it.
What GPS devices do you recommend for fleets?
The Tracking Co recommends the 4G900L (R769) as the everyday fleet workhorse — it supports live tracking, SVR, and engine cutoff. For fleets requiring advanced reporting and driver behaviour data, the FMC920 (R999) is the preferred device. Both are hardwired units purchased once and owned permanently. An engine cutoff relay can be added to either for R199 once-off.
Does The Tracking Co offer an API for integration with fleet software?
Yes. API access is included in every The Tracking Co subscription at no extra cost. The API provides real-time vehicle locations, trip history, geofence events, and device status via REST endpoints and webhooks. This is designed for logistics platforms, custom fleet dashboards, ERP integrations, and dispatch software. Custom development support is available at R750/hour.
