What Is Kinesis?
Kinesis is a GPS Vehicle Tracker that is perfect for every size of vehicle due to the range of fleet metrics it provides. Using Kinesis you can gain insight into Driver Behaviour and Vehicle Performance, which you can then use to make improvements. The Kinesis system can be linked with your Fuelwise Fuel Cards, providing you with accurate MPG reports. Research amongst our customers who use this feature has found that linking Telematics and Fuel Cards can lead to a 20% annual reduction in fleet costs.
What Is ATOM?
ATOM is a self-install Telematics device that intuitive and easy to use. The key feature of the ATOM system is that it can be switched between different vehicles which helps to eliminate vehicle downtime. Installation doesn’t require any training or technical knowledge and can be completed in a short amount of time. Like the Kinesis GPS Tracker, the ATOM system is managed using Velocity.
