36-month fuel obsession vs full fleet control on your terms.

Honest Assessment
We believe in transparent comparisons. Here are the scenarios where Azuga has a real edge.
OBD-II plug-and-play simplicity: 60-second self-installation with no wiring required.
Fuel spend optimization: purpose-built analytics for fleets where fuel is the primary cost.
Bridgestone ecosystem: access to tire analytics and fleet services from a global leader.
If none of these apply to your fleet, Traxelio keeps pricing and setup terms transparent, so the tradeoff is easier to evaluate.

No hardware lock-in: switch trackers anytime.

Talk to a humanWhat the industry says
Quoted analysts and associations have not endorsed Traxelio. Their work frames the market we operate in.
There can be no trade development and regional integration dynamics in Africa without a structured and efficient transport sector. Addressing infrastructure shortfalls alone is not enough to unlock efficient and sustainable mobility for people, businesses and communities across Africa.
Fourteen mergers and acquisitions have taken place so far this year among the vendors of fleet management systems in Europe.
Geotab is leading the industry with over 55,000 global customers and over 4.7 million connected vehicle subscriptions, ranking number one for Top Implementer due to their extensive partner network and diverse Marketplace ecosystem.
Migration
Complexity: Easy: export your fleet data, add your trackers to Traxelio, invite your team.
Move the fleet data first.
Export the data, check the hardware, then set up the team before canceling the old contract.
Step 1
Export your fleet data
Download your vehicle list, driver roster, and historical reports from Azuga before canceling.
Step 2
Check hardware compatibility
Traxelio supports 1,500+ GPS tracker models. Your existing devices may work as-is. If not, order a compatible Traxelio tracker during setup; hardware is separate from the monthly plan.
Step 3
Test Traxelio for 28 days
Your first month is free. Add your vehicles and trackers to verify everything works before canceling your existing plan.
Step 4
Migrate your team
Invite drivers and managers, configure alerts and geo-zones, and replicate your existing workflows in the Traxelio dashboard.
Step 5
Cancel your old subscription
Once your team is set up and vehicles are reporting in Traxelio, cancel your Azuga account. Check your contract terms for notice periods.
