How to Choose the Right GPS Tracker for Your Fleet in Sri Lanka

Understanding Your Fleet Tracking Needs

Before buying a GPS tracker in Sri Lanka, assess your specific requirements. Consider the number of vehicles, types (cars, lorries, bikes, buses), whether you need fuel monitoring, how long you need trip history, and whether drivers should know about the tracker. Answering these questions helps you choose the right device and platform.

Types of GPS Trackers Available in Sri Lanka

There are four main Fleeticc tracker types for Sri Lankan fleets:

  • Hardwired GPS Trackers (Fleeticc 8R, 5R): Connected to the vehicle power supply. Hidden installation, suitable for lorries, buses, and company cars. Remote engine cut-off supported on 8R and 5R.
  • OBD GPS Tracker (Fleeticc OBD): Plugs into the OBD-II port. No wiring needed, ideal for quick setup on compatible cars and light vehicles.
  • Fuel Monitoring Tracker (Fleeticc 5L), 4G LTE tracker with Omnicomm LLS4 capacitive fuel sensor for lorries, trucks, and fleet vehicles.
  • Relay GPS Tracker (Fleeticc 1R): Wired tracker with battery backup for continued positioning if vehicle power is interrupted. Does not support remote engine cut-off.

Essential Features Checklist

When comparing GPS trackers in Sri Lanka, ensure your chosen device includes:

  • Real-time tracking on web and mobile apps
  • Geofencing with entry/exit alerts
  • Speed limit alerts (overspeed)
  • Ignition on/off detection
  • Engine idle and device offline alerts
  • Up to 90 days trip history and playback
  • Works with Sri Lankan SIM cards

Installation Considerations

Hardwired trackers (8R, 5R) are best installed professionally for hidden, reliable placement, installation is LKR 1,500 on the Pricing page. OBD trackers can be self-installed in minutes. The 5L fuel tracker requires installation of the Omnicomm LLS4 capacitive fuel sensor by a technician.
