For fleet managers, the daily battle against rising fuel costs, unexpected vehicle downtime, and operational inefficiencies is relentless. Traditional fleet management, often relying on manual spreadsheets and reactive repairs, leaves you constantly trying to catch up. But what if you could move from reacting to problems to preventing them entirely? This is the power of modern IoT fleet management solutions. By integrating advanced sensors and a powerful fleet management software, you can gain complete visibility and control over every asset. This guide explores how IoT technology transforms two of the most critical areas of your business: vehicle maintenance and daily

Fuel theft remains one of the most persistent challenges for fleet operators. It not only increases operational costs but also leads to delays, vehicle misuse, and compromised logistics. With advanced vehicle anti-theft devices offering fuel cut-off functionality, businesses now have a powerful tool to prevent fuel theft and protect their mobile assets. Why Prevent Fuel Theft is a Growing Concern for Fleet Operators Fuel expenses account for a large share of operating costs in logistics. When vehicles are targeted for siphoning or unauthorized use, the damage goes beyond the stolen fuel—it includes service downtime, maintenance costs from tampering, and delivery

Vehicle theft is an ongoing challenge that causes significant financial losses, operational disruptions, and headaches for businesses, particularly those managing fleets. For industries such as logistics, rental services, or construction, the impact of vehicle theft is even greater. In this context, advanced technological solutions become a necessity to prevent theft and ensure fleet security. Geofencing is one such solution that has gained considerable attention in the fight against vehicle theft. But what exactly is geofencing, and how does it help in preventing vehicle theft? In this article, we will explore geofencing, its benefits, and how it can protect your fleet

Businesses that rely on vehicles face challenges such as ensuring driver safety, optimizing routes, preventing theft, and managing maintenance costs. Effective fleet management goes beyond vehicle tracking, providing a comprehensive solution for managing mobile assets and personnel. This guide will simplify fleet management, covering key concepts, components, and best practices to improve your operations. For businesses looking to leverage IoT devices, understanding these principles is essential for making informed decisions. What Is Fleet Management? At its core, fleet management refers to the comprehensive process of overseeing all aspects of a company’s vehicle fleet, aiming to improve efficiency, reduce costs, enhance

In today’s IoT landscape, simplicity and efficiency are becoming key purchasing factors. Businesses managing fleets, assets, and logistics operations are increasingly seeking devices that combine multiple capabilities into a single, compact unit. This shift toward integrated IoT solutions marks a notable trend for 2025 and beyond. Why Integrated IoT Solutions Matter Instead of deploying separate devices for GPS tracking, video recording, remote control, and communication, integrated solutions bring all these functions into one package. This reduces installation time, lowers maintenance costs, and simplifies data management. For example, Jimi IoT’s JC182 4G Mini Camera integrates high-resolution video recording, real-time GPS tracking,

The Rise of Smart Cities: Empowered by IoT Connectivity Smart cities are no longer a futuristic concept, they are becoming a reality in urban centers around the world. From intelligent traffic management to efficient waste disposal and energy systems, IoT technology is the driving force behind the transformation of traditional cities into smart, connected hubs. By combining sensors, devices, and data analytics, cities are able to optimize operations, reduce costs, improve sustainability, and enhance the quality of life for residents. At Jimi IoT, we are at the forefront of this revolution, providing advanced IoT solutions that empower smart city infrastructure. The Building Blocks of

As connected logistics and smart fleet technologies become more integrated into day-to-day operations, one-size-fits-all solutions no longer meet the demands of diverse industries. At Jimi IoT, we believe that regional adaptability is the key to unlocking long-term success for our global partners. From Latin America’s agricultural fleets to Europe’s urban delivery startups, Jimi’s telematics systems are being customized, integrated, and expanded in ways that reflect local market needs, regulations, and customer behavior. Localization Is More Than Language True localization goes beyond multilingual interfaces. It means: This commitment has enabled our solutions to be deployed across a wide range of countries and

Maritime transport is the backbone of world trade – over 80% of global goods by volume move by sea. Yet recent years have been marked by disruptions (pandemics, extreme weather, geopolitics, etc.) that pushed ocean schedule reliability to only about 50–55%. In practical terms, the average vessel arrival is now 5–6 days late compared to its ETA. These delays ripple through complex supply chains. When ships are late or off-schedule, shippers must carry extra inventory buffers (tying up capital) and scramble with expensive contingencies, eroding margins and customer confidence. The costs of shipping delays are steep. Delays force companies to boost inventory levels

Rental fleet operators face growing demands for efficiency, visibility, and security across mixed vehicle types. The Concox GT06N 4G GPS tracker addresses these challenges with advanced features and future-proof connectivity, making it a powerful solution for modern vehicle rental businesses. 4G LTE Connectivity for Real-Time Fleet Visibility As 2G networks phase out in many regions, 4G LTE offers superior speed, signal strength, and coverage. The GT06N 4G leverages this next-gen network to ensure fast, stable data transmission, so rental operators can monitor vehicle locations and status updates in real time. Whether in urban zones or fringe coverage areas, this connectivity

4G telematics for fleets is emerging as a vital tool in Latin America’s rapidly expanding e-commerce sector. As last-mile delivery demand surges, companies must confront narrow streets, parking shortages, traffic congestion, and unreliable infrastructure—all of which impact efficiency and security. In rural or informal areas, unmarked addresses and poor infrastructure add further delays. At the same time, security threats compound operational headaches. Heavy rains and floods can suddenly make routes impassable, and organized criminals frequently target delivery vehicles. Indeed, one logistics study notes concerns about floods and road hijackings in Latin cities. For fleets that rely on motorcycles and light

Pet tracking technology has rapidly evolved in recent years, driven by growing pet ownership and IoT connectivity. The global market for smart pet devices, including GPS trackers, was valued at $4.6 billion in 2022 and is projected to nearly double by 2027. More broadly, the overall “pet tech” market (encompassing smart collars, feeders, cameras, etc.) is expanding at double-digit rates: one report forecasts growth from $7.63 billion in 2024 to $17.25 billion by 2030 (CAGR ≈14.6%). Notably, a GPS pet tracking market analysis projects growth from $2.1 billion in 2022 to $4.5 billion by 2028 (≈13.7% CAGR). These trends reflect increasing consumer and business demand

The Shift from Reactive to Predictive Insurance Historically, insurance models were reactive: assess claims post-incident, adjust premiums periodically, and rely on statistical assumptions. But this model is under growing pressure due to: To stay competitive, insurers are shifting toward real-time, behavior-based models—and GPS plays a critical role in this transformation. Core Business Pain Points GPS Technology Can Solve 1. Inaccurate Risk Pricing Traditional underwriting often groups drivers into broad categories (age, region, vehicle type), which can lead to underpricing high-risk drivers and overpricing low-risk ones. GPS-enabled telematics devices provide real-time visibility into: This enables usage-based insurance (UBI) and pay-as-you-drive/pay-how-you-drive (PAYD/PHYD)
