Honest Assessment
We believe in transparent comparisons. Here are the scenarios where Quartix has a real edge.
Transparent, low base price: $13-$16/vehicle/month with no hidden add-on fees.
Driver timesheet reports: automated working-time logs that integrate with payroll systems.
Fuel spend analytics: detailed per-vehicle consumption reports for cost-reduction programs.
If none of these apply to your fleet, Traxelio keeps pricing and setup terms transparent, so the tradeoff is easier to evaluate.

Predictive maintenance and parts management included.
Team access sharing with organizational hierarchy support.
Route optimization and cash flow tools in one platform.
No kill switch or remote immobilizer in any plan.
No predictive maintenance: basic service reminders only.
12-month initial contract before monthly rolling is available.
No driver scoring beyond fuel and timesheet metrics, so harsh-driving coaching needs a separate tool.

Migration
Complexity: Easy: Traxelio is compatible with most OBD-II trackers and hardwired devices used by Quartix.
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 Quartix 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 Quartix account. Check your contract terms for notice periods.
