Trailer
With GPS-Buddy, you always have visibility over your trailers – even when they are unhitched or without power supply.
Tab titel
Truck-trailer coupling
With the XT4R or asset tags, you always know where trailers are, even when unhitched, and collect additional data such as axle load for safety and deployment optimisation. For a complete trip and utilisation overview, trailers are automatically linked to tractors.
Tab titel
Always in sight
Track your trailers live – whether on the road or stationary on site. You’ll always know where your resources are and can maximise fleet utilisation.
With our battery-powered asset tags, you can track trailers for years without installation concerns or wiring. Never lose sight of a trailer again. Learn more about our trailer tracking system here.
Tab titel
Geofencing
With GPS-Buddy geofencing, you can easily set up virtual zones around construction sites, distribution hubs, or customer locations. As soon as a trailer enters or leaves a zone, you receive an instant notification. This lets you know exactly where your trailers are, prevents unauthorised use, and speeds up planning and invoicing with automatic location registration.
One system
Powered by our own smart hardware, you get a single, clear overview with real-time information from the field. Think of an asset tag that records when a crane is moved, or a vehicle tracking system that sends driving behaviour and operating hours. Flowter automatically processes all this data and makes it usable – for planners, field staff, and management. No separate tools, no double data entry. One system.
Temperature
GPS-Buddy monitors your cargo temperature in real-time – from load space to core temperature.
Tab titel
Automated and traceable temperature management
Smart sensors continuously monitor temperature and humidity. When deviations occur, you receive an immediate alert so you can act in time. Link measurements to vehicle number, trip, or customer order. Perfect for transparency towards customers and for proof of compliance during deliveries.
Tab titel
Alerts for deviations
Easily comply with HACCP and GDP with automatic logging and reporting. Get an instant alert if the temperature goes outside the set range and take timely action.

Frequently asked questions and answers. Can’t find your question? Get in touch with us.
What is a vehicle tracking system for transport companies?
A vehicle tracking system gives transport and logistics companies real-time visibility into the location, status, and performance of trucks and vans. This allows you to optimise your fleet, reduce downtime, and improve delivery reliability. With GPS-Buddy’s advanced telematics platform, you can instantly see where your vehicles are, whether they’re on schedule, and how efficiently they’re being utilised – all from one central dashboard.
Can GPS-Buddy connect with other transport and logistics systems?
Yes. GPS-Buddy integrates seamlessly with transport management systems (TMS), ERP platforms, invoicing tools, and workforce planning software. This enables a smooth data flow between departments, reduces manual input, and speeds up administration – helping transport companies operate more efficiently.
How does GPS-Buddy help with route optimisation in logistics?
With GPS-Buddy, route planning is optimised using real-time traffic updates, driver rest and work times, and current vehicle availability. This helps you reduce empty miles, minimise delays, and increase fleet utilisation. For logistics companies, this means lower operational costs and faster, more reliable deliveries.
How does GPS-Buddy support predictive fleet maintenance?
GPS-Buddy uses usage-based maintenance planning, relying on real-time data such as operating hours, mileage, and location. This prevents unnecessary downtime, reduces repair costs, and extends vehicle lifespan. Trend analysis also identifies underutilised or overworked assets, ensuring your fleet is always performing at its best.
GPS-Buddy automatically records fuel consumption and operating hours across all vehicles. This allows you to generate accurate CO₂ reports for audits, compliance, or tenders. By tracking environmental performance, you can reduce emissions, meet sustainability targets, and improve your score on the CO₂ performance ladder.
Absolutely. GPS-Buddy’s modular technology works with existing trucks, trailers, and other assets. Adding new vehicles is simple, and all data flows into one platform for complete fleet visibility.
How does GPS-Buddy support cold chain logistics and temperature monitoring?
For temperature-sensitive transport, GPS-Buddy offers real-time cold chain monitoring. Sensors track both ambient and product core temperatures inside trailers. If temperatures deviate from set parameters, the system instantly sends alerts. This ensures HACCP and GDP compliance, prevents product spoilage, and guarantees safe, high-quality deliveries for perishable goods.
