Managing your fleet isn’t simply about keeping vehicles on the road. It’s about staying in control. It’s about making your day easier. That’s where a good fleet vehicle tracking system steps in. And at Simplytrak, we’ve designed ours with fleet managers in mind.
We know you’re juggling tasks. From route planning to vehicle safety to cost control. A tracking system should help with all of that. And if it doesn’t, it’s not doing its job.
Let’s talk about what to look for and why Simplytrak might be the best fit for your business.
You don’t have time for guesswork. Our system gives live turn-by-turn tracking and accurate odometer readings. You’ll see each vehicle’s location in real time. View traffic delays, check journey history, and replay routes. Need to know how a vehicle got somewhere or how long it stopped? It’s all there, clearly and instantly.
We’ve also added Google Maps integration. Familiar layout. Real-time traffic. Street names and speed limits. This makes route checking and planning feel natural and simple.
Missed MOTs or late services mean downtime and extra costs. With our system, you get instant reminders for tax, insurance, and servicing. It’s easy to stay ahead of problems. Idle vehicle? The system tells you.
We also offer geofencing. Set boundaries around depots, job sites, or delivery zones. Get alerts if vehicles enter or leave. It’s a brilliant tool for accurate job times and better invoicing. You’ll also cut back on customer questions.
Fuel is expensive. So is wear and tear. Our telematic solutions help you take control. Track speeding, harsh braking, sharp cornering, and more. You’ll see how your drivers handle your vehicles. It’s easy to spot issues early and support better habits.
Safer driving means fewer breakdowns. And less money wasted on fuel and repairs.
You can also pull detailed reports (mileage, out-of-hours use, driver behaviour) all in one place. Reports come in PDF, Excel, and other formats. Use them to improve planning, spot problems, and reduce costs.
Theft is a major worry for any fleet. But we’ve got your back. Our remote vehicle immobilisation feature lets you stop a vehicle with the click of a button. If a vehicle is stolen, you can shut it down safely on the next ignition off. Get alerts if it moves when it shouldn’t.
We offer the same tech for equipment too. Our plant immobilisation solution keeps heavy machinery secure. Perfect for construction, farming, and other industries with high-value kit.
We’ve built our system to solve real-world problems. Our fleet vehicle tracking system works hard so you don’t have to.

At Simplytrak, we are committed to delivering cutting-edge, cost-effective solutions that enhance safety and efficiency across industries. Our Airport Incursion System is a game-changer for airside operations, providing a bespoke telematic solution that significantly reduces the risk of vehicle and plane incursions. Designed in collaboration with UK airport operators, this system is a must-have for any airport looking to improve safety and compliance.
Runway incursions pose a severe threat to airport safety. Defined as “any occurrence at an airport involving the incorrect presence of an aircraft, vehicle or person on the protected area of a surface designated for the landing and take-off of aircraft,” these incidents can have catastrophic consequences. With increasing air traffic and complex airside operations, the need for a robust Airport Incursion System has never been greater.
Traditional safety measures rely on radio communication and human vigilance, which can be prone to error, especially in low visibility conditions. Our system eliminates these risks by providing real-time, automated alerts that ensure airside vehicles remain within designated boundaries.
Unlike generic telematic solutions, our Airport Incursion System is tailored to each airport’s layout. By integrating advanced in-cab alerts with automated Low Visibility Procedures (LVP) adaptation, we ensure continuous protection against incursion risks in all weather conditions.
Our Airport Incursion System is not reliant on mobile networks, ensuring uninterrupted functionality even in remote or high-traffic areas. By integrating with bespoke telematic solutions, it provides a fully customisable safety net for airport operations.
The system is designed for ease of installation, with a discreet, hard-wired setup that includes a simple ‘cancel alert’ button. Once installed, it continuously monitors vehicle activity, sending instant alerts when a potential incursion is detected. Each vehicle’s movements are logged and stored for CAA compliance evidence reporting, ensuring that all activity can be reviewed and verified.
CAA compliance is a vital factor in airport operations, and our Airport Incursion System simplifies adherence to safety regulations. The integrated reporting suite provides detailed playback of airside vehicle activity, including:
With data updated four times per second, our system offers unparalleled accuracy, ensuring that compliance officers have access to the most precise information available.
For over 20 years, we at Simplytrak have been at the forefront of telematic solutions, delivering reliability, innovation, and cost-effective technology to businesses worldwide.

With Christmas just around the corner, more internet orders are being placed than ever before. Which means that even more delivery drivers are on the roads than usual to hopefully deliver everyone’s presents in time for Christmas!
SimplySecure by Simplytrak is a bespoke solution designed to remove the risk of the increasing numbers of opportunist thefts within the courier and delivery industries. It was designed in association with Amazon Delivery Service Providers and is in use across an increasing number of courier fleets now. Regardless of whether you are the world’s biggest parcel delivery company or a straightforward one-man owner driver, SimplySecure is the solution for you. Created to be both a driver training tool and, more substantively, a bulletproof security measure, the system makes busy courier vehicles impossible to steal.
The RAC state that since 2016 approximately 43,000 vans have been stolen – which works out at a whopping 24 vans per day in the UK alone! That was a major insurance risk that urgently needed addressing. Which is where Simplytrak came in.
Many of the vans in the RAC statistics will belong to the parcel delivery industry and the loss extends to much more than the vehicle itself. The average courier vehicle contains between £20K and £30K of parcel value when commencing its rounds. Which also means £20k-£30K of parcels needing reprovisioning and redelivering which is a colossal waste of resource across the board. Insurance for couriers was due to increase dramatically unless this is quickly addressed. Step up SimplySecure.
Delivery vans are always at their most vulnerable during routine parcel drops. Drivers, faced with ever shorter times to park and hand over the goods to customers, run to doorways often leaving the keys in the vehicle. Opportunists jump in and drive the vehicle short distances before offloading the goods into another van to ensure that onboard tracking devices are of little use in deterring these sort of crimes. The value of the goods often far exceeding the value of the vans.
Once installed by Simplytrak engineers, the SimplySecure device will auto-immobilize the vehicle if a door is opened whilst the keys are left in the ignition – in any position, engine running or otherwise. In such an instance, the hazard lights will flash, and the horn will sound and the vehicle cannot be started or moved. This method is a major deterrent to potential thieves as it draws instant attention to the vulnerable vehicle. However, this is also a very effective driver training tool with drivers needing to call in to their office to have the vehicle re-mobilized and receive a ticking off by the dispatcher/fleet manager. The drivers quickly learn to avoid an awkward call to the office and the danger of vehicle and parcel theft rapidly dissolves. If, however, the driver successfully follows the correct procedure, removing the keys every time before opening the door, the vehicle will stay active and their delivery schedule can remain on track.
But SimplySecure doesn’t stop there. The vehicle can also be immobilized remotely from the office with the click of a button and can, for owner drivers, be reactivated using a vehicle specific sequence of actions advised of at the time of install. In addition, the solution also offers a fully suite tracking and reporting solutions with real time vehicle information and turn by turn updates. This also allows the operations team to actively monitor a fleet of vehicles and assess/address any issues that arise making for an extremely efficient operation.
As a result of installing the SimplySecure system, companies can often see a reduction within their insurance policy due to the added level of vehicle security (prices will vary with providers) and insurance premiums kept in check by minimizing claims.

Simplytrak – saving Christmas once again.
The Market Weighton based company is fast growing its reputation for vehicle tracking and has impressed North Yorkshire’s Rural Crime Division by going above and beyond for a victim of theft.
The tracking systems earnt the respect of The North Yorkshire Rural Crime Division after the system was used to track and locate a recently stolen quad bike.
Sergeant Arfan Rahouf from the North Yorkshire Rural Task Force was involved in the vehicle recovery operation and he commended the tracking software after being impressed by Simplytrak’s speedy response and the softwares ability to pinpoint the stolen vehicles exact location. PC Arfan commented, “We received fantastic service from Simplytrak. The tracking kit enabled the team to locate, seize and recover the stolen quad within twenty-four hours.”
Having previously been interviewed about rural vehicle crime, PC Rahouf commented that: “The problem with rural crime is it is not high enough up the agenda for people. If you take a quad bike from a farmer then that is their livelihood gone for a couple of days – if not weeks – until it can be retrieved or replaced and the impact of it is massive.” Since the introduction of the Rural Task Force over three years ago, rural crime has fallen, however PC Rahouf stated that, “The force has seen an increase in farm and agricultural theft, in particular quad bike thefts.” Which is where tracking and security systems come into play and can offer confidence to the rural community.
Talking about the incident and the systems capabilities, Ian Wood, Managing Director said: “Simplytrak supplies Platt Quads with the tracking system and software and in turn they supply vehicles to their network of customers with the added security of Simplytrak’s tracking systems. Having originally purchased a quad fitted with a tracker from Platt’s the vehicle was subsequently re-sold to a private customer and the system was later disabled. Unfortunately for the new owner, the vehicle was recently stolen and North Yorkshire Rural Crime Division contacted Simplytrak to enquire about the original tracking system installed and ascertain whether it could be reinstated. We quickly confirmed that we were able to reactivate the system to track the stolen bike and reacted quickly to the Police request. By re-enabling the tracker we were able to direct the police to the exact location of the stolen vehicle, where they were able to recover it quickly.”
Ian goes on to say, “The tracker demonstrated its capabilities perfectly and impressed both the Officers involved in the quad’s recovery and the private owner – who has now purchased the system for the rest of their fleet of vehicles. Rural vehicle crime is on the rise and it’s great to know our system can support prevention and help to minimise crime by supporting tracking and vehicle retrieval which hopefully leads to subsequent criminal proceedings. In the past few years we have helped the police on a number of occasions and often finding one stolen vehicle leads to the location of quite a few more.”
The private owner Helen, who has since gone on to purchase a range of Simplytrak tracking kits said, “Without having the Simplytrak tracker installed on our quad bike, we would have faced huge costs plus the price rise on insurance and the total inconvenience of having to replace the equipment. Thanks to Simplytrak we recovered the quad bike within around 12 hours of it being stolen.”
Helen explained: “The yard break-in was frighteningly well-organised, we believe the thieves used drones to stake out the area and plan entry and exit points in advance. Within a 15 minute window they had cut down our fences, broken into our shed and wheeled the quad to a waiting horse trailer before making a quick getaway. We reported the crime to the Police but with no officers immediately available, or clues to go off it was looking incredibly unlikely that we would recover the quad. We remembered that the previous owner had a tracker fitted but we hadn’t re-activated it in our name.The next morning we were able to get Simplytrak’s details from the previous owner, and pass these on to the Police. Simplytrak immediately accessed the tracker and within a matter of minutes told the Police it’s precise location. Officers were able to recover the quad that same day.
We are so thrilled to have got our quad bike back. Recovery would not have been possible without Simplytrak. We have already re-registered the tracker in our name and purchased several more units for all our other machines! We couldn’t be more grateful for the fantastic service from Simplytrak.”
Simplytrak’s vehicle tracking systems enable fleet management operators to drive down costs and improve efficiency. With capabilities including live turn-by-turn tracking, geofencing and alerts the tracking solution allows companies to know exactly where their vehicles are at all times. The modular system also offers immobilisation features and witness and/or security cameras to further increase vehicle and driver security.
