Expert Opinion
We like Telemax for their simplicity and straight-forward options. With Telemax there is no complicated jargon or confusing pricing structures just simple monthly pricing options which are easy to select from according to your business needs. You don’t get all of the features of a more expensive GPS fleet management system, and it’s not an easily customisable option, however it is great for those looking for a quick to install option that will be functional in a short period of time.

Telemax offer a variety of different fleet management and vehicle tracking software solutions. They have three main pieces of hardware to choose from which can then be incorporated with their Telemax Fleet Management Software and their Fleet Analytics.
