What is Telematics & ELD Software?
Telematics and ELD (Electronic Logging Device) software captures vehicle, driver, and engine data in real time and reports it back for compliance, safety, and operational decisions. ELDs are required by FMCSA for most commercial drivers to record Hours of Service. Modern telematics goes well beyond logging - it powers dispatch, maintenance, fuel optimization, and driver coaching.
