Fleet Tracking for UK Vehicles
Pocket Box fits a small GPS tracking unit to each van, lorry, car or item of plant, and our engineers install it in about 30 to 60 minutes per vehicle. From the first journey you can see live locations, journey history, mileage and driving events on one dashboard, on a computer, tablet or phone.

Telematics Vehicle Tracking That Shows What Each Vehicle Is Doing
Telematics vehicle tracking combines GPS location with data about how each vehicle is used and driven. Pocket Box supplies fleet tracking UK and Irish operators use for vans, HGVs, plant and trailers, and turns that data into alerts and reports a fleet manager can act on the same day. For a fuller explanation of what the data shows and how fleets use it, read our fleet telematics guide.
"Since adding tracking with Pocket Box, we've cut fuel costs, improved driver accountability, and always know where our vehicles are. It's been a game-changer for our fleet."

Reduce Wasted Mileage and Fuel Across the Fleet
Fewer Wasted Miles
Journey history shows the routes drivers actually take, so planners can spot detours, repeat trips to the same site and vehicles sent further than they need to go. Idle time reports show where engines run while vehicles stand still, which burns fuel without any work being done.
Faster Answers for Customers
When a customer asks where their delivery or engineer is, the office can check the live map instead of phoning the driver. Arrival and departure times are recorded at every stop, which helps settle questions about when a job started or finished.
Safer Driving and Lower Risk
Speeding, harsh braking, rapid acceleration and harsh cornering are logged against each vehicle and journey. Managers can look at the pattern over several weeks, rather than a single event, before deciding which drivers need coaching.
What Is Fitted to Each Vehicle
- Fitted by Our Engineers
- Hidden Inside the Vehicle
- Cameras on the Same Platform
GPS Tracking Unit
A small GPS unit is fitted discreetly inside each vehicle. It uses a roaming SIM to send live location, speed and journey data to the Pocket Box platform.
AI Camera With Built-In Tracking
An AI camera with built-in tracking records video and GPS data in one device. Footage and journey history then sit together in the same system.
360 Degree Cameras
Optional cameras record the vehicle's surroundings from every angle. The footage can be reviewed after an incident or a low-speed manoeuvre.
How Installation Works
Pocket Box schedules fleet tracking UK installations at times that suit your operation, and each vehicle is usually off the road for 30 to 60 minutes. Tracking starts as soon as the unit is fitted.
Book the Installation
We confirm how many vehicles need fitting and what type they are, then agree installation times that suit your fleet. Fitting is planned around the jobs you already have booked, so work carries on as normal.
Engineer Fits the Unit
A trained engineer fits the tracking unit discreetly inside each vehicle. Most installations take 30 to 60 minutes per vehicle, with minimal disruption to your fleet.
Dashboard Goes Live
Each vehicle appears on the live map once its unit is fitted. You log in on a computer, tablet or phone and see its location, journeys and driving events from that point on.
Alerts and Reports Set Up
You choose the alerts you want, such as speeding, geofence breaches and out-of-hours use, and who receives them. Mileage, fuel use and driver performance reports can then be run whenever you need them.
What Telematics Vehicle Tracking Shows You
Pocket Box records where every vehicle is, where it has been and how it was driven. That history is kept for 12 months as standard, so you can compare this month with earlier ones.
Live Location
See where every vehicle is right now. Zoom in on a single vehicle or view the whole fleet on one map.
Journey History
Review where vehicles went, when they arrived, how long they stopped and which routes they took. Past journeys are stored and searchable by vehicle and date.
Speed and Driving Style
Monitor speed in real time and review driving events such as harsh braking, rapid acceleration and harsh cornering. Patterns across several weeks show which drivers would benefit from coaching.
Mileage and Trip Data
Mileage is logged automatically for every vehicle, so nobody has to read odometers by hand. Business and private miles can be recorded separately where your policy allows private use.
Idle Time
See how long vehicles stand still with the engine running. Excessive idling wastes fuel and adds engine hours without any work being done.
Geofencing
Set virtual boundaries around depots, customer sites or restricted areas, and receive an alert when a vehicle enters or leaves. Arrival and departure times at each site are logged automatically.
Track Any Vehicle Type
Pocket Box tracking works across a mixed fleet, from company cars to unpowered trailers. Every vehicle type appears on the same map and in the same reports.
Vans and Cars
Track company vans and cars, including vehicles that drivers take home overnight. Mileage is logged automatically for every journey.
HGVs and Trucks
Track heavy goods vehicles across the UK and Ireland. Journey and stop data helps transport managers plan routes and check how long trips really take.
Plant and Machinery
Excavators, generators and other plant can be tracked alongside road vehicles. You can see which site each machine is on and when it was last used.
Trailers
Unpowered trailers can be tracked separately from the vehicles towing them. Logistics and hire companies use this to find trailers left at customer sites.
Specialist Vehicles
Minibuses, tippers, refrigerated vehicles and other specialist vehicles appear on the same dashboard as the rest of the fleet. Each can carry its own alerts and reports.
Vehicle Tracking for Every Industry
Pocket Box provides fleet tracking UK and Irish businesses use in construction, care, field service, FMCG delivery and waste. Each sector below links to a page with more detail.
Construction
Track vans, HGVs and plant across several sites and see which machines are where each day. Mileage and journey records sit alongside the vehicle records your transport manager already keeps.
Domiciliary Care
Keep a dispersed fleet of small vehicles on the road and see visit arrival times from the journey log. Out-of-hours alerts show when a vehicle is used outside agreed working times.
Engineering and Field Service
Send the nearest engineer to an urgent job using the live map. Journey history shows time on site, which helps when checking timesheets and customer queries.
FMCG and Delivery
Plan multi-drop routes for food and consumer goods deliveries using real journey times, and monitor driving style across high-mileage vehicles. Idle and speeding reports show where fuel is being wasted.
Waste Management
Track bin lorries, skip vehicles and plant on fixed rounds. Route history shows whether every collection point was visited.
