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.
