No Wiring Required
Track vehicles without wiring in dedicated GPS hardware — drop an AirTag in the console, mount a magnetic case under the chassis, done
Fleet Management
Fleet Management Software for Vehicles, Trailers, and Mobile Assets
Traditional fleet management bolts GPS trackers on at $150+ each plus $5–$25/mo per device. TagLogger replaces that stack with AirTags on the Find My network.
Key Benefits
Long Battery Options
Standard AirTag: ~1 year on CR2032. Extended Battery Case: up to ~10 years on two AA batteries
No Monthly Cellular Fees
Zero $5–$25/month per-vehicle cellular charges. AirTags relay through Apple's Find My network
Geofence Alerts
Detect boundary crossings around depots, customer sites, approved areas, and after-hours zones
Shared Fleet Visibility
Align dispatch, operations, and field teams on the same fleet map, location history, and event log
Why teams use TagLogger for fleet management
Traditional fleet management software stacks GPS trackers, cellular connectivity, reader infrastructure, and a telematics platform on top of each vehicle. The bill scales with both hardware and monthly service: $150+ per tracker plus $5–$25/month per vehicle in cellular, often with multi-year contracts. For a 50-vehicle fleet, that's a $7,500 hardware bill and $3,000–$15,000/year in recurring subscriptions.
TagLogger gives teams a simpler way to track vehicles, trailers, and mobile assets by using AirTags and long-life battery options — no wiring, no cellular contract, no reader infrastructure. The platform provides full fleet visibility, movement history, and geofence alerts without any of the monthly per-vehicle communication fees.
Fleet assets TagLogger is used for
| Asset class | Where TagLogger fits |
|---|---|
| Service vehicles | Vans, trucks, and pickup fleets running daily routes in populated areas |
| Trailers & towable equipment | Detached assets that sit at customer sites or yards away from the tow vehicle |
| Rental vehicles | Units cycling between customers and the return yard |
| Pool vehicles | Shared cars and trucks moving across teams, shifts, and depots |
| Delivery & logistics vehicles | Last-mile and route fleets operating on known corridors |
| Commercial fleets | City, suburban, and inter-city vehicles with steady Apple-device relay coverage |
| Specialty fleet | Waste trucks, recycling vehicles, maintenance vans, and other purpose-built units |

Fleet workflows supported by TagLogger
- Track vehicles across depots, routes, customer locations, and operating zones on one dashboard
- View fleet activity shared across dispatch, operations, and field teams with role-based access
- Use geofence alerts to detect unauthorized movement, off-hours departures, or late returns

- Confirm vehicle arrival at customer sites without requiring a driver call-in
- Export fleet location history as CSV or JSON for integration with ERP, billing, or reporting systems
Where AirTag-based fleet management works best (and where GPS still wins)
AirTag-based fleet tracking works particularly well for service fleets, trailers, rental vehicles, and commercial fleets operating in populated regions — where nearby Apple devices (in other vehicles, on pedestrians, at customer sites) provide near-continuous relay coverage. For these fleets, TagLogger delivers the same operational visibility as a traditional telematics platform at a fraction of the total cost.
GPS fleet trackers remain the better fit for: vehicles operating in genuinely remote areas (deep rural, agricultural, marine) with no Apple-device foot traffic, fleets requiring sub-minute real-time location updates for critical dispatch, or fleets that need OBD-II engine data and driver behavior analytics. Many mixed fleets use TagLogger for the bulk of assets and keep GPS on the few vehicles that truly need continuous telematics.

Getting started with TagLogger fleet management
Most fleet deployments start by tagging 10–20 vehicles across one service area, naming them with existing fleet conventions, and setting a geofence around the yard plus geofences around top customer sites. Within a week, dispatch teams typically stop calling drivers to ask 'where are you?' — the map shows them.
From there, roll out to the full fleet in waves. Service trucks first, then trailers and towed equipment, then pool vehicles and rentals. Most teams are fully rolled out within a few weeks, compared to months for a full GPS-tracker installation.
