Geotab provides fleet management by pairing hardware telematics devices with a cloud software platform to collect and analyze vehicle data. Its GO devices and harnesses feed real-time and historical information on routes, driver behavior, fuel usage, maintenance, and more, which the software turns into dashboards, reports, and actionable insights. The system is subscription-based: customers purchase the hardware upfront and then pay for ongoing software access that includes updates and new features. Geotab differentiates itself with a scalable solution that serves small to large fleets across commercial, government, and smart-city projects, backed by extensive support resources and a global network. The company aims to help customers run safer, more efficient operations, cut costs, and enable data-driven decisions for fleet management and mobility initiatives.

BearCom recovers vehicle, strengthens safety with Geotab GO devices and dash cams. Headquartered in Garland, Texas, BearCom is a leading two-way radio supplier and security solutions provider with 70 locations across North America. With nearly 700 vehicles in its fleet, including roughly 600 in the United States, the company operates a service-oriented fleet that looks very different from an over-the-road trucking operation. But the priorities are the same: keep drivers safe, protect assets, and control costs. "Safety is a priority at BearCom," said Kristi Carlson, Senior Director of Procurement at BearCom. "Every employee should leave work in the same condition they arrived." That commitment to safety - paired with a growing need for fleet-wide visibility - led BearCom to a telematics investment that has already delivered a dramatic, real-world payoff. The challenge: limited visibility and rising premiums. Before partnering with Transflo, BearCom's fleet lacked a unified telematics strategy, and some branches were sourcing their own solutions. At the same time, insurance premiums continue to climb, echoing a hurdle felt across the transportation industry, and one that becomes even more acute with every vehicle incident on record. "Our primary goal is improving safety. An improvement in safety would mean fewer vehicle incidents. The fact that few vehicle incidents would also lead to lower insurance premiums was a welcome benefit," said Alex Vasquez, Supply Chain Operations Supervisor at BearCom. "We decided it'd be a good time to go ahead and start implementing telematics and dash cams." The solution: A fleet-wide telematics rollout. BearCom worked with Transflo Strategic Account Manager Dwight Miguel to buy and deploy Geotab GO devices across its entire U.S. fleet. Assured Telematics by Transflo also helped with implementation. The benefits of fleet-wide telematics, including improved safety, asset tracking, and a path to lower insurance premiums, made the investment a clear fit. In addition to GO devices, BearCom elected to deploy Geotab GO Focus AI dash cams to roughly one-sixth of its U.S. fleet. The rollout has also opened up day-to-day operational benefits beyond safety. "Branch managers now use geofencing and GPS tracking data to better understand vehicle locations and movement, helping dispatch drivers more efficiently between customer locations - improving overall logistics and response times," said Vasquez. The results: A stolen vehicle recovered in hours. While BearCom is still about a year away from seeing the full impact of telematics on its insurance premiums, the investment has already proven its value by helping recover a stolen vehicle in Texas. One night, thieves targeted a BearCom vehicle parked at a driver's residence. Using what appeared to be a key fob relay device, they bypassed the vehicle's security system and drove off. The thieves noticed the Geotab GO Focus dash cam and ripped it out, assuming they had eliminated any tracking capability. What they didn't realize was that BearCom hardwires its GO devices into every vehicle. The fleet asset tracking device kept transmitting location data the entire time. "It was important to us, when we were looking to implement a telematics system, that we had a robust and complete system. For us, that included having ELD systems hardwired in all our vehicles, so we would have immediate information about the location of our vehicles," said Vasquez. By morning, the driver reported the theft to the police. By the time the police arrived at the driver's residence, the BearCom employee, using the Geotab platform, was able to provide law enforcement the vehicle's exact location. Police recovered the vehicle in less than an hour, and the vehicle was returned to BearCom with minimal damage. "From an operational standpoint, the time, effort, and cost required to repair that vehicle was far, far less than if we had to replace it," said Vasquez. "It was a huge win." A strong partnership with Transflo and ATI. BearCom credits Transflo as a responsive and collaborative reseller partner throughout the deployment process and beyond. "Great partner from a procurement standpoint as well," added Carlson. Assured Telematics by Transflo is proud to be Geotab's No. 1 reseller.

"It's a strong initiative and an important platform for operators to contribute directly to industry conversations," the spokesperson says. "We're pleased to be part of it and to represent the operational realities of delivering freight at scale across Australia." The conference also provides a key way of covering the latest topics in the industry, allowing operators, suppliers and stakeholders the opportunity to discuss the most pressing issues facing the sector. Reflecting an industry in transition, the program will explore the key challenges shaping the future of supply chains, from decarbonisation and automation to workforce pressures and infrastructure planning. Whether it be Beyond Diesel: The Best Way Forward or Automative All Avenues: Driving All Modes Forward, the MegaTrans conference features a diverse range of topics and panels. "Key areas we're looking forward to hearing at the conference include freight efficiency, supply chain resilience (particularly in regional and remote Australia) and the role of technology in improving visibility and performance across the supply chain," the spokesperson says. In its entirety, Centurion is looking forward to MegaTrans and showcasing its latest updates to the Australian logistics and broader supply chain sector.

"OwnerDriver is a registered trademark of Prime Creative Media want visitors to leave with a clear view of its scale, regional commitment and ability to deliver integrated logistics solutions across Australia. "Just as importantly, we hope people walk away with a stronger appreciation for the industry itself - seeing the impactful, essential work it does and the rewarding, long-term career opportunities it offers."
