The Telematics Awards recognize industry leaders such as suppliers, providers and software developers whose hard work and talent add value to telematics products and services.

Networkcar uses Maptuit's TrackServ? to empower their customers with sophisticated solutions to track, manage, and report on the locations of their assets in real time. Networkcar outfits their customers with embedded tracking technology that combines GPS-based location determining with a wireless transmitter. As the asset moves about, it periodically transmits its geographic coordinates back to the tracking company. These coordinates are then passed to Maptuit TrackServ which uses a process called reverse geocoding to pinpoint the location of the asset to the nearest street address. This information can then be overlaid on digital maps to show the asset's current location, and the places that asset has been over time. With thousands of vehicles now deployed with asset tracking devices, Networkcar customers are receiving the information they need to monitor their assets at all times.
