Telematics software is any device which merges telecommunications and informatics. Telematics software allows the communication between an electronic device and other devices, or human users over a network. Telematics addresses dynamic mobility management and is critical in measuring real-time vehicle data such as speed, location, routes, performance, on-road behavior, energy consumption, battery levels, estimated time of arrival and much more. Telematics software encapsulates a broad range of technologies. For instance, telematics solutions are behind navigation and GPS systems, hands free calling, driving sensors, wireless communications, in-car multimedia use, and other modern vehicular technologies that involve the transfer of data over a network.

Due to the excellent degree of real-time management and vehicle connectivity, telematics solutions are perfect for fleet management applications. Vehicles fitted with telematics software can be tracked for key information such as speed, erratic driving, fuel usage and efficiency. Telematics represents a major advancement in vehicle monitoring and reporting. With the emergence of connected services and the increased demand among fleet owners, telematics software has become a key differentiator for the automotive manufacturers.
