Geotab
Geotab is a global leader in connected vehicle and asset telematics, trusted by over 100,000 customers including Fortune 500 enterprises and government agencies. Geotab connects more than 6 million vehicles and processes over 100 billion data points daily. Its open platform delivers real-time fleet visibility, asset tracking solutions for every vehicle type and piece of equipment, driver safety and AI-powered video coaching through the GO Focus camera family, compliance management, and advanced analytics — all in one place. A marketplace of 700+ technology partners, including Descartes, extends the platform across routing, dispatch, and logistics execution.
Key Capabilities of Geotab
- Full Fleet and Asset Visibility — Every Vehicle, Trailer, and Piece of Equipment
- Geotab's asset tracking solutions are purpose-built for mixed fleets — powered vehicles, unpowered trailers, heavy equipment, and specialty assets. Real-time location, utilization, and condition monitoring give operations managers a complete picture across their entire fleet from a single platform.
- Driver Safety, Video Coaching, and AI-powered Risk Management
- Geotab combines traditional telematics with native video telematics through the GO Focus camera family — detecting distracted driving, tailgating, rolling stops, seatbelt violations, and near-collisions that telematics alone can't capture. AI-powered collision risk scoring, driver scorecards, automated coaching workflows, and in-cab real-time alerts help fleets reduce collisions by up to 35% when event-based video and behavior coaching are used together.
- Route Optimization and Integrated Execution with Descartes
- Geotab's live telematics data powers Descartes' strategic route planning, territory optimization, dynamic routing, and real-time dispatch — reducing operational costs by 5–25% and enabling proof-of-delivery workflows backed by verified vehicle data.
- Compliance and ELD management
- Automated Hours of Service logging, DVIR, IFTA, and regulatory compliance tools that reduce administrative burden across all fleet types and regions.
- Open Integration Ecosystem
- A developer-friendly SDK and marketplace of 700+ partners that extend Geotab's capabilities across routing, scheduling, dispatch, sustainability, and customer engagement.
United by Design
Descartes and Geotab unite logistics intelligence and real-time telematics to help fleets reduce costs, improve safety, and exceed customer expectations. Descartes brings strategic route planning, smart scheduling, real-time dispatch, and digital customer engagement. Geotab delivers live vehicle and asset data, covering every powered vehicle, unpowered trailer, and piece of equipment, alongside AI-powered driver safety tools and native GO Focus video coaching built directly into the platform.
Together, the integration connects planned routes with actual fleet activity: territory optimization, dynamic routing, real-time ETA updates, and proof of delivery, all backed by Geotab's complete safety and asset visibility capabilities. Customers can reduce operational costs by 5–25%, increase fleet productivity, and deliver the seamless, transparent experience modern customers demand.
Benefits for Descartes Users
Complete Fleet and Asset Visibility in One Platform
Geotab delivers unified fleet visibility across every powered vehicle through real-time telematics, and every unpowered trailer, piece of equipment, and specialty asset through dedicated asset tracking solutions, all managed from a single platform. Whether it is a truck on a live route, a trailer sitting in a yard, or a piece of heavy equipment on a job site, Descartes users get a complete operational picture with no blind spots and no separate systems to manage.
Lower Operating Costs Through Data-driven Optimization
Geotab's telematics data gives Descartes users the operational intelligence to reduce costs beyond routing. Predictive maintenance alerts identify developing vehicle issues before they cause breakdowns or missed deliveries. Fuel monitoring and idle reduction tools cut unnecessary spend across the fleet. Driver behavior insights surface inefficiencies in real time, reducing wear, improving fuel economy, and keeping vehicles on the road longer. Together, these capabilities help fleets reduce operational costs by 5–25%.
Protect Drivers, Reduce Liability, and Build a Stronger Safety Culture
Fleets using event-based video and behavior coaching see up to 35% fewer collisions. Geotab's GO Focus camera family delivers AI-powered in-cab alerts that help drivers self-correct in the moment, while collision risk scoring identifies at-risk drivers before incidents occur. Video evidence tied to route and delivery data supports driver exoneration, proof of delivery, and liability protection, all within the same platform Descartes users already work in, with no additional vendor required.
