Amsterdam, Netherlands
Per vehicle, per month

Best for: European fleets that need tachograph compliance as well as tracking
Webfleet is the telematics platform that grew out of TomTom Telematics and now sits inside Bridgestone. It is the largest fleet management service in Europe by connected vehicles, and it is built around the compliance regime European operators actually work under.
Tachograph handling is what separates it from the American platforms: remote download of driver cards and vehicle units, drivers' hours monitoring and the archiving obligations are core functionality rather than an adaptation. Around that sit live tracking, route optimisation, driver behaviour scoring, fuel and emissions reporting and maintenance scheduling.
Webfleet is headquartered in Amsterdam with European data centres, and offers its own in-cab driver terminals for navigation and job dispatch. Pricing is per vehicle per month by module, with hardware separate and contracts typically multi-year — worth negotiating rather than accepting.
What Webfleet does well
- Largest European telematics installed base
- Tachograph download and drivers' hours built in
- Route optimisation and in-cab terminals
- Driver coaching and fuel reporting
- European hosting
- Bridgestone-backed, long-term stability
Where Webfleet falls short
- Multi-year contracts with hardware attached
- Module pricing adds up
- Less flexible than smaller vendors on integration
- Enterprise-shaped for very small fleets
Standout feature. Tachograph compliance as core product rather than a European module bolted on.
Lisbon, Portugal
Per vehicle, per month
Demo on request
Best for: Fleets that want a local implementation partner rather than a portal
Frotcom is a Portuguese fleet management platform sold and installed through a network of certified local partners across dozens of countries. The software is one product; the relationship is with someone in your own country and language.
That partner model is the point. Fitting telematics to a mixed fleet is physical work — hardware, CAN bus integration, driver briefings, works council conversations — and a local partner who does the installation is worth more to most operators than a marginally better dashboard.
Frotcom International is headquartered in Lisbon with European hosting, and its compliance features are built around EU regulations rather than adapted to them. Modules are priced individually, so a fleet that only needs tracking is not paying for cold chain monitoring.
What Frotcom does well
- Local certified partners for installation and support
- Tachograph download and drivers' hours
- Modular pricing — pay for what you use
- Cold chain temperature monitoring available
- Portuguese company, European hosting
Where Frotcom falls short
- Experience depends on the local partner
- Smaller installed base than Webfleet
- Dashboard less polished than the market leader
- Partner-quoted pricing is less transparent
Standout feature. A certified partner in your country who fits the hardware and answers the phone.
Aalborg, Denmark
Per asset, per month
Demo on request
Best for: Rental companies and contractors running heavy equipment
Trackunit is a Danish telematics platform for the machines a van-based fleet tool does not understand: excavators, lifts, generators and the rest of a construction or rental fleet, measured in running hours rather than kilometres.
Off-highway is a different problem and Trackunit treats it as one. Utilisation in engine hours, service intervals driven by machine data, fault codes pulled straight off the controller, and OEM integrations across the major equipment brands — none of which a vehicle-tracking product does, because a van has no hydraulic system to report on. Retrofit units cover the machines and attachments that shipped without telematics.
Trackunit A/S is headquartered in Aalborg in North Jutland, inside the EU, with offices across Europe and beyond. Machine and site location data for a contractor is commercially sensitive well before it is personal data.
What Trackunit does well
- Built for off-highway machines, not adapted to them
- OEM integrations across the equipment brands
- Predictive service alerts from machine data
- Retrofit units for older machines and attachments
- Danish company, EU jurisdiction
Where Trackunit falls short
- Overkill for a fleet of ordinary vehicles
- Hardware cost on top of the subscription
- Priced per asset, so a large mixed fleet adds up
- Aimed at rental and construction rather than logistics
Standout feature. Utilisation and faults read off the machine itself, not inferred from GPS.
Larvik, Norway
Per unit, per month
Demo on request
Best for: Trades and construction fleets tracking machines as well as vans
ABAX is a Norwegian telematics company that tracks more than vehicles: its product line covers vans and trucks, but also construction equipment, machinery and power tools — the estate a trades business actually loses money on.
Equipment tracking is the distinctive half. A construction firm knows where its vans are; what it does not know is which site the compactor ended up on, or whether the tool crate came back. Tracking those on the same platform as the vehicles turns a recurring loss into an inventory.
ABAX is headquartered in Larvik, Norway — inside the EEA, so the GDPR applies directly — with a large installed base across the Nordics and northern Europe. Its automatic mileage logs are built for Nordic tax authorities' requirements on business versus private journeys.
What ABAX does well
- Vehicles, equipment and tools on one platform
- Automatic mileage logs for tax purposes
- Large Nordic installed base
- Hardware and software in one subscription
- EEA-based, GDPR applies directly
Where ABAX falls short
- Multi-year contracts are standard
- Tachograph depth below Webfleet or Frotcom
- Strongest in the Nordics
- Equipment trackers add per-unit cost
Standout feature. The compactor and the tool crate tracked on the same platform as the vans.
Riga, Latvia
Per vehicle, per month
Demo on request
Best for: Operators integrating fleet data into their own systems
Mapon is a Latvian fleet management provider working across the Baltics, the Nordics and central Europe, with a reputation for hardware flexibility and an API open enough to build on rather than merely export from.
It is the integration-friendly option. Where large platforms treat their data as the product, Mapon's REST API and support for a wide range of third-party trackers make it practical to feed fleet data into an existing transport management or ERP system instead of running two systems in parallel.
Mapon is headquartered in Riga with European hosting, covering real-time tracking, tachograph download and drivers' hours, fuel monitoring via CAN bus, driver behaviour, temperature sensors and task management. The API is included rather than sold as an enterprise add-on.
What Mapon does well
- Open REST API included as standard
- Works with a wide range of third-party trackers
- Tachograph and drivers' hours support
- Fuel and CAN bus data
- Latvian company, European hosting
Where Mapon falls short
- Smaller brand than Webfleet
- Dashboard less refined than the leaders
- Strongest in the Baltics and central Europe
- Hardware sold or leased separately
Standout feature. An API you can genuinely build on, included rather than sold as an enterprise tier.
Berlin, Germany
Per vehicle, per month
Demo on request
Best for: German companies with company cars and a tax logbook obligation
Vimcar is a Berlin company built around a specifically German problem: the elektronisches Fahrtenbuch. Company cars used privately need a logbook the tax office will accept, and doing it on paper is both miserable and easy to have rejected.
The logbook is designed against the Finanzamt's requirements rather than as a generic mileage report — which is the whole value, because a rejected logbook costs the driver the considerably more expensive one-percent rule. Installation is a plug into the OBD port, so there is no workshop visit.
Vimcar is based in Berlin with German hosting, and its fleet administration covers vehicles, drivers, costs and appointments alongside live location for smaller fleets. Trip data distinguishing private from business journeys is unusually sensitive employee data.
What Vimcar does well
- Tax-compliant electronic logbook
- Plug-in OBD installation, no workshop
- Fleet administration for small fleets
- Hardware included in the subscription
- Berlin-based with German hosting
Where Vimcar falls short
- Built for the German tax regime specifically
- Not a full telematics platform
- No tachograph support
- Limited value outside Germany
Standout feature. A logbook the Finanzamt accepts — which is worth considerably more than the subscription.
Newtown, Wales, United Kingdom
Per vehicle, per month
Demo on request
Best for: Small and mid-sized fleets that want tracking, not a platform
Quartix is a Welsh vehicle tracking company, listed in London, that has kept its product deliberately narrow: where vehicles are, where they have been, how they are driven, and what that costs — without the platform around it.
The contract terms differentiate it as much as the software. Fleet telematics is a category built on multi-year commitments with hardware amortised into them; Quartix sells a rolling monthly option alongside the fixed term, so a fleet can leave if the product does not earn its place. Driving style scoring, timesheet and mileage reporting, geofencing and an API cover what most fleets actually use.
Quartix Technologies plc is based in Newtown, Powys, with operations in France and the United States. The United Kingdom sits outside the EEA, so transfers rely on the adequacy decision rather than on EU jurisdiction directly.
What Quartix does well
- Rolling monthly plan with no long contract
- Hardware included in the subscription
- Driving style scoring for safety and insurance
- Simple enough to run without training
- Listed UK company with a long track record
Where Quartix falls short
- United Kingdom, so adequacy rather than EEA jurisdiction
- Narrow by design — no maintenance or compliance suite
- No tachograph handling for heavy goods fleets
- Rolling plan costs more per vehicle than the fixed term
Standout feature. A monthly rolling contract in a category that normally demands five years.
Vilnius, Lithuania
Hardware plus platform subscription
Demo on request
Best for: Operators and resellers who want the hardware and software from one maker
Ruptela is a Lithuanian telematics manufacturer that designs and builds its own tracking devices as well as the platform behind them, selling directly and as a white-label product to fleet service providers across Europe and beyond.
Owning the hardware is the difference. Ruptela's devices cover cars, trucks, buses and heavy machinery including CAN bus data from agricultural and construction equipment — cases where a software-first vendor depends on whichever third-party tracker is available and inherits its limitations.
Ruptela is headquartered in Vilnius, where it also manufactures. For operators increasingly asked where their telematics hardware comes from, a European manufacturer answers a supply chain question as well as a data protection one.
What Ruptela does well
- Designs and manufactures its own devices
- Heavy machinery and agricultural CAN bus support
- White-label option for service providers
- European manufacturing
- API for partners building on top
Where Ruptela falls short
- Platform less polished than Webfleet
- Hardware purchase on top of subscription
- Partner-led sales in many markets
- Smaller direct support footprint
Standout feature. European-made hardware and the platform from the same company, white-labelled if you need it.
