How to choose a GPS platform for your fleet.

Start from the job, not the device

Write down first what you want to solve each week: late deliveries, accidents with no witnesses, driver coaching, disputes with customers. Each need maps to a different function: map and trips, camera, driver score. If you do not know what you will measure, you will pay for functions you never open.

The five things to compare

• Position and history — dual-constellation coverage (GPS and BeiDou) and 365 days of history, not only a live dot.
• Installation — a hardwired unit in the vehicle, no software to install, quoted per fleet.
• Camera — road and cabin, with automatic clips on alarms; ask what is kept, for how long, and whether it records audio (Filodos does not).
• Data and reports — driver score, per-second data around incidents, export to ERP, and an API.
• Pricing — a monthly price per vehicle with unlimited users; ask what is included and what is billed separately.

When plain tracking is enough

If you want only position, trips, and reports, Tracking is enough. When you must prove what happened in an accident or settle a dispute, you need Video. You can start with Tracking and add Video later, on the same unit — see the fleet cameras guide.

Cost

Tracking starts at €15 and Video at €29 per vehicle per month, excluding VAT, with unlimited users. The unit and the installation are billed separately. See Pricing and the fleet GPS cost guide.

Your drivers and personal data

For vehicle and camera data, your company is the data controller and Filodos processes the data on your behalf. Tell your drivers what the system records and why, before you start. This page is not legal advice. See the privacy policy.
