Why this exists

I built SimpleTelematics for the owner of a small field-service fleet: the person running an HVAC, plumbing, or electrical business who checks where the trucks are throughout the day, because dispatch, billing, and customer promises all depend on it.

The existing options assume a bigger company. Wired trackers need an installer and take a vehicle off the road for a morning. Enterprise telematics platforms want annual contracts and sell a depth of features a five-truck shop will never open. So the fallback becomes calling the driver and asking where they are.

Here's the thing: every driver already carries a precision GPS device. Their phone. What it lacks is a reason to know it's parked in a work vehicle rather than sitting on a nightstand. A small Bluetooth beacon in each vehicle gives it that reason. When the driver gets in, the app on their phone detects the beacon and starts logging; when they leave, it stops.

What you get is an honest, real-time picture of where every vehicle is and where it's been, captured automatically instead of self-reported.

What's missing is missing on purpose

There's no wiring, because every owner I've talked to about tracking brings up installation as the reason they never did it. There's no installer visit, because your trucks earn money by being on the road. And there's no enterprise contract, because a tool for a small business should be priced and cancelled like one.

SimpleTelematics is small and founder-led. I sell it directly, I answer the support email, and the product is shaped by conversations with the fleet owners it's built for. If that sounds like your fleet, join the waitlist and tell me what you run.
