Linxio is an Australian GPS tracking company with its own range of 4G trackers, dash cameras and sensors, a driver app for dispatch, and a modular platform you add to as you grow. It says it serves everyone from one vehicle to more than a hundred, and it prices by quote: fill in the form, get a proposal, choose whether to buy the hardware or rent it. Axlerun is also Australian and also for small fleets, but it sells no hardware and publishes its price. The choice is between live tracking from a device and the fleet's records from a phone.
Choose Linxio if
You want live GPS tracking, dash cameras or dispatch from a device in each vehicle and you are happy to buy or rent the hardware on a quoted plan.
Choose Axlerun if
You run 2 to 50 vehicles and want the FBT logbook, rego and CTP dates, fuel and fines per vehicle from the phone, at a published AUD price with the first three vehicles free.
