Set up Vehicle Tracking

AroFlo's GPS tracking units for vehicle tracking are ideal for vehicles that are regularly driven so you can see where they are at all times.

 

Here are some scenarios:

  • Company vehicles
  • Delivery vehicles
  • Removalist trucks
  • Farm machinery
  • Cement mixers

Before setting up any devices, we recommend checking out our GPS Tracking Overview page for pricing information and our GPS device tracking page for SIM card information.
