You've wanted telematics for years. Here's how to roll it out in a few weeks

"Telematics would be great, but it's a huge project." Software sales people hear this a lot. Behind it is a fear of months of installations, cars stuck in the workshop and data nobody uses.

The truth is simpler: start with a pilot on a few cars.

5 steps to telematics with Camasys

1. Choose a provider from the integration catalogue. If your existing devices are supported, you don't need to replace them.
2. Connect the data via API. If a connector doesn't exist yet, start with a CSV import while one is built.
3. Install the devices and assign them to cars by VIN or plate number.
4. Run a 1–2 week pilot on a selected group of cars.
5. Roll out to every branch once you see the results.

What to track during the pilot

A pilot isn't a test of whether the devices light up. It's a test of whether they save money. Track:

• odometer and fuel readings without manual entry,
• diagnostic alerts and service tickets created automatically,
• alerts for unauthorised movement or impacts,
• refuelling verified by telematics.

The numbers to expect

Camasys states ROI in under 30 days. Customers on the website report:

• Budget: 18 % less fuel leakage thanks to verified refuelling records,
• RentCarNow: 30 % faster service handling with automatic service tickets.

The most common mistake

Rolling telematics out across the whole fleet at once, with no clear goal. Pick one problem, such as fuel or downtime, and measure it before and after the pilot.

Bottom line

Telematics isn't a giant leap. It's five steps and a pilot that shows you within two weeks whether it pays off.
