Telematics software for vehicle & machine data
We develop telematics software that combines data from heterogeneous systems, evaluates it in real time and integrates it directly into your business processes.
Make your data clear with the help of our telematics software
Many companies already collect telematics data: GPS positions, operating hours, fuel consumption, driving behavior, machine conditions. The problem is rarely the device that supplies the data, the problem is the steps that follow. Different telematics providers deliver data in different formats. Interfaces are incompatible. Data islands are created. And the real treasure, namely the insights that improve processes, lower costs and reduce risks, remains buried unused in databases that no one in the companycan systematically access.
This is exactly where prodot comes in. For years, we have been developing telematics software and cloud-based platform solutions that aggregate and process data from different telematics systems across manufacturers and translate it into usable information. This all happens in real time, regardless of the provider and seamlessly integrated into existing ERP and SAP systems. With our own IoT-X platform, we have already developed solutions for Kienzle Automotive, one of Europe's leading road construction groups, as well as for customers in the gas logistics and passenger transport sectors. Webelieve that telematics software can deliver its full value if it is consistently aligned with business processes.
This is what our telematics software offers:
Manufacturer-independent data integration
Whether MiX Telematics, CAT, Liebherr, Kienzle, Geotab or another provider: We integrate the telematics systems you are already using into a standardized platform - without changing providers and without data loss. Heterogeneous data sources are normalized, linked and made centrally evaluable.
Real-time evaluation that accelerates decisions
Telematics data is only valuable if it reaches the right people at the right time. We develop dashboards, automatic alerts and reports that provide fleet managers, dispatchers and management with the information they need for operational and strategic decisions - live and on mobile devices.
Direct ERP and SAP integration without media discontinuity
Telematics data is most useful when it is linked to business processes: Machine use is automatically billed in SAP, maintenance requirements are created directly as orders, geo-fences trigger bookings. We close the gap between vehicle and business process, fully automatically and verifiably.
Driver safety through data-based risk management
Safety doesn't start with an accident - it starts with the data beforehand. Our telematics software detects safety-critical driving behavior such as speeding, harsh braking or fatigue indicators automatically and in real time. Risk profiles for eachdriver and vehicle enable targeted measures to be taken before something happens. This protects people, reduces liability risks and lowers insurance costs.
Predictive maintenance - maintenance before the machine comes to a standstill
Unplanned downtime costs more than any maintenance. We link telematics data such as operating hours, load spectra and error codes with defined maintenance intervals and automatically trigger maintenance orders in SAP as required. In this way, your fleet or machine management switches from reactive to predictive maintenance - with a measurable effect on availability and life cycle costs.
Added value of our telematics software
Up to 5-10% reduction in fuel costs through intelligent use of data
- Standstill times with the engine running, incorrect operation and inefficient driving are automatically identified and reported
- Driver scoring evaluates driving behavior according to safety, economy and performance - with individual feedback directly to drivers via app
- Proven savings in real prodot projects: a leading European road construction group measurably reduced fuel costs thanks to the integrated telematics solution
Automated project controlling and machine cost management
- Telematics, planning and deployment data are automatically transferred to SAP - prescription, machine time allocation and project accounting without manual effort
- Geo fences based on address information from SAP precisely record construction site activities and start automated follow-up processes
- Equipment utilization is charged according to actual work performed - not according to blanket estimates
Scalable cloud platform that grows with your fleet
- Highly available architecture on Microsoft Azure scales with increasing numbers of vehicles and events without any loss of performance
- New telematics providers, vehicle types or data sources are added on a modular basis - without redeveloping the entire platform
- Seamless traceability of all events and notifications supports compliance requirements and accountability

Questions & Answers
-
What is telematics software?
Telematics software records, transmits and processes data from vehicles and machines - GPS positions, operating hours, fuel consumption, driving behavior and machine statuses. Modern telematics software goes far beyond simple GPS tracking: it integrates data from heterogeneous systems from different providers, evaluates it in real time and links it directly to business processes - for example in SAP or other ERP systems.
-
What does telematics software from prodot do?
prodot develops manufacturer-independent telematics platforms that consolidate data from various vehicle and device sources, evaluate it in real time and feed it directly back into your business processes - SAP, ERP, maintenance management.
-
What are the advantages of telematics software?
Telematics software turns unused vehicle data into a measurable economic advantage: fuel costs are reduced through automatic detection of inefficient driving, machine use is recorded precisely and billed directly in SAP, unplanned downtime can be avoided through predictive maintenance and safety risks are identified at an early stage through real-time alerts. If you work with several telematics providers, you can bring all systems together on a central platform - regardless of manufacturer and without data loss.
-
How does our telematics software solution differ from standard telematics tools?Standard telematics tools deliver raw data from a single manufacturer in a closed interface. prodot develops manufacturer-independent telematics platforms that consolidate data from various vehicle and device sources, evaluate it in real time and feed it directly back into your business processes - SAP, ERP, maintenance management. Not an isolated solution, but an integrated system.
-
Does the telematics software also work with a mixed fleet of vehicles from different manufacturers?
Yes, manufacturer-independent data integration is one of the core features of our solutions. We connect telematics systems from different providers via standardized APIs and our own connectors and transfer all source data into a uniform common data format. Your entire fleet - trucks, construction machinery, buses, special vehicles - is visible in one interface.
-
What are the specific measurable benefits of telematics software?
Our references show: 5-15% fuel savings thanks to AI-supported driver scoring, significantly reduced empty runs thanks to optimized scheduling and automated project controlling without manual hours recording. For a leading European road construction group, we have developed a solution that makes machine use and fuel consumption transparent across the board.
-
How is the telematics software integrated into SAP or ERP systems?
Bidirectional and without media disruptions. Telematics data such as location, operating hours, consumption and maintenance requirements are automatically transferred to SAP PM, CO and MM: Maintenance orders are created automatically, project costs are allocated to the exact vehicle, fuel invoices run without manual entry. Your dispatchers and controllers work with up-to-date data without having to switch between systems.
-
Is the solution also suitable for mobile devices and field service?
Yes, drivers, machine operators and dispatchers receive role-specific dashboards as a web and mobile app - available worldwide, including offline capability for areas with poor network coverage. Our Driver Scoring App, which we implemented together with our partner Kienzle, is an example of how telematics data can be translated into an intuitive, motivating driver app - including gamification and real-time feedback on driving behavior.
