Honest Assessment

When Trackunit is genuinely the better choice

We believe in transparent comparisons. Here are the scenarios where Trackunit has a real edge.

Deep construction-equipment integrations and OEM partnerships (Caterpillar, Volvo CE).

ISO 15143-3 (AEMP) standard support for construction telematics.

Established enterprise relationships with rental and construction operators.

If none of these apply to your fleet, Traxelio keeps pricing and setup terms transparent, so the tradeoff is easier to evaluate.

Migration

How to Switch from Trackunit to Traxelio

Complexity: Medium

Fleet data migration from an older telematics system into Traxelio

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 Trackunit 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 Trackunit account. Check your contract terms for notice periods.
