Platform
13 things to look at. 8 signals underneath them.
Which is the only argument for buying a platform instead of four specialists: the fix that draws the map is the same fix that dates a fuel loss, proves a delivery window and timestamps an incident.

What depends on what
Select a signal to see what goes dark without it, or hover a surface to see what it needs. Every card is also a link to its page.

Position is the backbone — 11 of the 13 surfaces stop working entirely without it, which is why it is on every unit including the cheapest. The specialised signals break less and improve more.
One platform, and what it costs you
Three arguments for, and one against. The one against is real, and you should weigh it rather than take our word for the other three.
- One fix, several answers
- The position that draws the map is the position that proves a delivery window, dates a fuel loss and timestamps an incident. Four vendors means four clocks that disagree by seconds, and seconds are what the argument turns on.
- One unit on the vehicle
- Point solutions each want their own box, their own SIM and their own fitting appointment. Three boxes behind a dashboard is three things to fail and three invoices.
- Context the parts do not have alone
- A fuel drop means nothing without ignition and geofence. A temperature rise means nothing without door state. The discrimination lives in the joins, which is precisely what separate systems cannot do.
- And the honest cost
- You give up best-of-breed in any single category. If dashcams are the only thing you care about, a specialist will beat us on that one axis — and you should buy theirs.
Which unit produces which signal
You do not have to fit the same device to everything. A service van that never needs a fuel probe should not be paying for one.

Almost nobody uses thirteen surfaces on day one. Pick the two that hurt most, fit the units that produce those signals, and add the rest when there is a reason to.
