Geotab + Google Cloud: Accelerating fleet intelligence

Geotab is a big data solution that empowers fleet managers with the insights they need to improve safety, optimise fleet efficiency, reduce costs and achieve sustainability targets. But we use a vast amount of data to do this. In fact, Geotab’s telematics platform connects more than 7.7+ million vehicles and processes more than 80 billion data points every day.

That’s why we partner with Google Cloud, which provides the robust and flexible cloud on which our services rely. In fact, Geotab is built on and runs entirely on Google Gloud, and we are the in the top 100 global users of BigQuery, which is Google’s fully managed, AI-ready data analytics platform.

Together, we help fleet managers:

• Reduce their fleet downtime and drive business growth with Geotab fleet productivity solutions.
• Reach their sustainability goals with telematics from Geotab and Google Cloud.
• Improve their safety records by managing safety risks with driver ratings reports and in-vehicle coaching – which also reduces costs.

The volume, speed and variety of our data demands elastic resources that can dynamically adjust to workload demands. Google Cloud solutions ensure efficient management, and processing and analysis of our data, enabling Geotab to empower its customers with the information they need to make data-driven decisions.

Google Cloud’s data analytics and machine learning enables us to capture telematics data from more than 55,000 commercial and government fleets globally every day. The platform then transforms that data – in just seconds – into context-specific benchmarks, which give fleet managers a 360° view of their entire fleet.

Geotab’s devices are in vehicles around the world, and our platform – supported by Google cloud – is helping to drive better results for fleet managers everywhere. In Australia and across the Asia-Pacific region, Geotab devices are found in vehicles ranging from sedans in local government fleets to heavy vehicles on mining sites in Australia’s northwest.

Some of our largest customers offer a great demonstration of the power of telematics. Enterprise Fleet Management – which manages around 600,000 vehicles across fleets in the US and Canada – turned to Geotab to help them reduce costs, improve sustainability, and prepare for the electrification of their fleet.

• Enterprise Fleet Management saved $33 million and slashed its carbon emissions by 194,000 tonnes.
• Geotab’s analysis of more than 90,000 vehicles also found it would be cost effective to replace 13% of them with EVs today, with an additional 45% eligible for replacement as more EV pickups enter the market.

Our customers often work with us because they care about sustainability and protecting the environment, which means our own operations must be sustainable too. This is another reason we work with Google, which is committed to carbon neutrality for their operations today – with a goal to run on carbon-free energy, 24/7, at all data centers by 2030.

Geotab's partnership with Google Cloud ensures seamless processing of data, empowering fleet managers with powerful insights.Together, we’re not only supporting the daily demands of modern fleet management, but also helping to shape a more sustainable and data-driven future for the industry.
