GPS-Buddy

GPS-Buddy is a Dutch IoT platform that treats fleet tracking as one part of a broader operational-visibility product covering people, equipment and vehicles together — real-time track and trace, driver performance, tachograph management, cold chain monitoring and emissions reporting sit on the same platform rather than as separate purchases. Over 2,000 customers across construction, infrastructure, transport, waste management and government use it, including named accounts such as KLM, PostNL and Dura Vermeer.

GPS-Buddy Nederland BV is based in Almere, in the Netherlands, and — like FleetGO and Mapon — sells to operators for whom fleet data is one input into a larger operation rather than the whole point of the software. Pricing is not published; the emissions reporting and cold chain modules in particular are the kind of feature a construction or logistics buyer would otherwise pay a specialist vendor for separately.

What GPS-Buddy does well

• People, equipment and vehicles tracked on one platform
• Cold chain temperature monitoring included
• Emission reporting alongside tachograph management
• Over 2,000 customers including KLM and PostNL
• Dutch company, straightforwardly EU jurisdiction

Where GPS-Buddy falls short

• No published pricing; quote only
• Founding year not disclosed on the site
• Broader IoT scope may be more than a simple van fleet needs

Standout feature. Cold chain and emissions reporting alongside tachograph management, on the same platform used to track the vans.
