Introduction: why one platform for mixed fleets
Mixed fleets span vehicles, powered equipment, non‑powered gear, trailers, and attachments. Geoforce consolidates all of them into a single system so operations, finance, and safety teams work from one source of truth—no hopping between point solutions. Core platform components include unified asset maps, utilization analytics, compliance tracking, rental verification, and robust APIs. See platform overviews in Track and Trace and Advanced Vehicle Tracking.
Unified visibility for vehicles + equipment
-
View vehicle trips, engine data, driver safety metrics, and field equipment location/usage together in one app. Vehicles | Advanced Vehicle Tracking
-
Manage non‑powered assets (trailers, containers, tanks, attachments) alongside powered machines (compressors, light towers, generators). Non‑Powered Equipment | Powered Equipment
-
Standard workflows: asset utilization, service verification, rental audits, maintenance scheduling, and compliance alerts. Enhanced Analytics | Service Verification | Compliance Manager | Rental Manager
OEM data and AEMP (ISO 15143‑3)
-
Ingest OEM feeds via the AEMP/ISO 15143‑3 telematics standard and brand‑specific APIs to reduce manual data entry and normalize metrics. Details in OEM/white‑label telematics.
-
Supported OEM ecosystem examples include CASE, CAT, John Deere, Komatsu, Genie, JCB, SANY, and Volvo connectors, surfaced together in a single pane of glass. Ascend OEM integrations
-
Use APIs to merge OEM + aftermarket tracker data into ERPs, dispatch, or analytics stacks. Developer APIs (GraphQL) | Integration services
Connectivity built for mixed fleets
-
Satellite for remote/off‑grid assets; cellular for on‑grid; hybrid devices fail over automatically between both. Satellite vs. Cellular
-
Example devices: GT1s Zone 0 satellite, GT2h hybrid solar, GT2s solar satellite, AT3 cellular, AT4 cellular powered‑equipment, GO9 vehicle, VT1 OBD. Compare models: Device Comparison.
What “mixed fleet” means here
-
Vehicles: light/heavy trucks with HOS/DVIR, driver scorecards, diagnostics. Driver Scorecard | ELD/HOS
-
Powered equipment: engine runtime, start/stop, utilization, maintenance planning. Powered Equipment
-
Non‑powered equipment: trailers, ISO tanks, containers, roll‑offs, spools, toolboxes, attachments—tracked without external power. Non‑Powered Equipment
Trailers and attachments (high‑loss categories)
-
Trailers: location, days on site, geofence alerts, service verification for billing. GPS Trailer Tracking
-
Attachments: buckets, grapples, breakers. Case study: Bejac avoided single‑asset losses of $30k–$300k per bucket by tagging non‑powered implements. Bejac case study (PDF)
Core workflows in one place
-
Rental accuracy: verify days‑on‑site and usage before invoicing. Rental Manager | Service Verification
-
Maintenance & compliance: engine‑hour triggers, certifications, and audit trails. Compliance Manager
-
Safety & risk: driver coaching, dash cams, policy enforcement. Advanced Vehicle Tracking
Example data model (devices → metrics)
| Asset type | Typical tracker | Connectivity | Key metrics |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light/heavy trucks | GO9, VT1 | Cellular | GPS breadcrumbs, HOS/DVIR, diagnostics, driver events |
| Generators/light towers | AT4, GT2h | Cellular/Hybrid | Engine hours, start/stop, utilization, location |
| Tanks/containers/roll‑offs | GT1s, GT2s, AT3 | Satellite/Cellular | Location, motion, days on site, geofence alerts |
| Trailers | GT2h, AT3 | Hybrid/Cellular | Location, movement, service verification |
| Attachments (buckets, grapples) | GT1s, AT3 | Satellite/Cellular | Location, movement, dwell/hoarding detection |
Device references: GT1s, GT2h, GT2s, AT3, AT4, GO9, VT1.
