Compatible with
Asset Intelligence
See what's costing you money.
Before it hits your bottom line.
Which assets are breaking down?
Unplanned breakdowns cost 3–5× more than planned maintenance. Without engine hour and fault code data, you can't see the failure coming — and you lose the contract when it does.
Which assets are actually making money?
Industry data shows 25–40% of fleet hours are idle. Without utilisation data, you're paying ownership costs on assets you can't prove are earning their keep.
Which assets are slipping maintenance?
Calendar-based servicing misses the reality of how hard your assets are working. Service reminders triggered by actual hours prevent catastrophic failures before they happen.
Which assets are underutilised?
You can't make confident hire-in or hire-out decisions without knowing which assets are sitting idle. Cost-per-hour reporting identifies the equipment to redeploy or sell.
No single view across all assets
Buses, trucks, plant, and light vehicles spread across multiple OEM portals and spreadsheets. Your team wastes hours switching between systems that don't talk to each other.
Our Product Suite
Four tools. One platform.
Complete fleet intelligence.
Fleet Visibility
Live location, engine hours and utilisation. Every brand. One screen.
Ignition Lock
Remote immobilisation for non-payment, theft, or after-hours misuse.
Video Telematics
Event-triggered footage tied to every impact and fault code. Evidence, not arguments.
Impact Detection
Timestamped impact alerts with video. Know what happened before the dispute starts.
The Pacific Fleet Systems Platform
Asset ROI & health visibility.
Not just GPS pings.
Our platform reads data directly from asset ECUs via CAN bus and J1939 — giving you engine hours, fuel burn, fault codes, and service alerts in real time. Works across buses, trucks, plant hire, and heavy equipment. Every brand. One screen.
CAN Bus Technology
GPS is just the start.
We read the machine's brain.
Standard GPS trackers tell you where a machine is. Our CAN bus devices connect directly to the ECU and tell you everything else: engine hours, RPM, fuel consumption, hydraulic pressure, coolant temperature, and active fault codes.
This is the data your OEM dealer uses to service your machines — now available to you in real time, on any device, from anywhere.
Operational Outcomes
What operators measure.
What operators improve.
Pacific Fleet Systems is deployed against specific operational outcomes — not just "tracking." Here is what our clients measure and improve from day one.
Idle Time Elimination
Identify machines and operators with excessive idle. Set automated alerts. Recover thousands in fuel costs per machine, per year — within the first 90 days.
Proof of Utilisation
Significantly reduce billing disputes with timestamped, GPS-verified utilisation records. Automated reports prove every hour billed.
Predictive Maintenance
Service reminders triggered by actual engine hours — not calendar time. Catch fault codes before they become breakdowns. Keep machines on the job.
Mixed-Fleet Consolidation
Replace Cat, Komatsu, Hitachi, and Volvo OEM portals with a single dashboard. Your entire fleet — one view, one login, one report.
Geofence & Security
After-hours movement alerts, boundary violations, instant SMS and email notifications. Theft recovery with full GPS history and timestamped evidence.
Cost-Per-Hour Reporting
Monthly cost-per-hour reports by machine. Identify underperforming assets. Make confident fleet investment decisions backed by operational data.
Platform Capabilities
Everything your operations team needs.
Nothing they don't.
Live GPS Tracking
Real-time position for every asset — vehicles, machinery, and attachments — on a single map.
CAN Bus Diagnostics
Deep engine data direct from the ECU: hours, RPM, fuel burn, fault codes, and service alerts.
Utilisation Reports
Automated daily and weekly reports showing productive hours, idle time, and downtime by machine.
Geofence Alerts
Instant notifications when machines move outside authorised zones — day or night.
Service Scheduling
Automatic service reminders based on actual engine hours, not calendar time.
Fuel & Cost Analytics
Identify your highest-cost machines and operators. Make data-driven decisions on your fleet mix.

Client Results
Real outcomes from real operators.
We don't publish client names without permission. These are anonymised results from active deployments.
22% reduction in idle time within 90 days
Operator was unable to accurately bill for machine hours across multiple sites. After deployment, automated utilisation reports eliminated billing disputes and recovered an estimated $18,000/month in previously unbillable hours.
Zero billing disputes in 6 months
GPS-verified utilisation records replaced manual timesheets. The operator reported zero client billing disputes in the first 6 months post-deployment — down from an average of 4–6 per month.
$41K recovered in first quarter
Unauthorised machine use after hours was identified within the first week of deployment. Ignition lock scheduling eliminated after-hours fuel burn and wear, recovering $41,000 in the first quarter.
Results are anonymised at client request. Specific figures available on request during demo.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions
from operators like you.
What if we already use Komatsu KOMTRAX or Cat VisionLink?+
PFS consolidates data from all OEM portals into one dashboard. You can keep using KOMTRAX or VisionLink, but all your data flows to PFS so you don't have to switch between systems.
How long does it take to see ROI?+
Most operators see ROI within 90 days. Common wins: 22% fuel savings from idle reduction, zero billing disputes with timestamped utilisation data, and up to 60% fewer breakdowns from predictive maintenance.
How long is the contract lock-in?+
You choose: 24 months (standard), 36 months (recommended), or 60 months (best value). All include hardware, installation, and support.
Is installation complex?+
No. Our team handles installation. Takes 1–2 days depending on fleet size. No downtime.
Do you support buses and light commercial vehicles?+
Yes. We support 100+ machine and vehicle types: heavy plant, buses, trucks, forklifts, equipment, trailers, and corporate fleets — all on one platform.
