For many fleet managers, the idea of getting started with fleet management software is often seen as a big lift. It can feel like telematics hardware must be installed on every single machine before any useful data can be gathered. However, that’s not always the case. In fact, Trackunit data feeds are a smart way to get up and running quickly.
If your equipment is already reporting data to the manufacturer, whether through their own system or a third-party telematics provider, there’s a faster way to get started.
Access to existing data feeds from over 100 leading manufacturers is provided through Trackunit Manager, and that number is growing all the time. This means that key metrics like engine hours, location, and fuel use can be tracked—all without touching a single machine. It’s a fast, low-effort way to get your digital fleet set up in one place.

But it doesn’t stop there.
For any machines not covered by existing data feeds, Trackunit’s telematics devices makes it easy to close the gaps. You can add devices where it makes sense and work toward full fleet visibility on your terms.
No matter how mixed or scattered your fleet may be, Trackunit helps you bring everything into one platform, step by step.
This approach gives you a fast track to centralized fleet data. Additionally, if there are machines in your fleet that aren’t covered by existing data feeds, Trackunit’s hardware can help you close the gaps. You get one source of truth for your fleet, no matter the mix.
In short, getting started doesn’t have to mean starting from scratch. Use the data that’s already out there and build up from there at your pace.
