2026 demands one thing above all else from scheduling and fleet management: clarity.

If you want to work in a structured way, you need a comprehensive overview of vehicles, drivers, and processes—not even more coordination loops.

In this newsletter, we’ll show you which features, integrations, and industry solutions are truly relevant right now—and where you can immediately lighten your workload.

Enjoy reading, and best regards from Schweinfurt

Your GPSoverIP Team

P.S.: If you tell us your fleet size and industry, we’ll immediately suggest a suitable setup (platform, app, hardware, add-ons).

Schedule an appointment

With the next phase of development for the GPS Explorer, we have fundamentally enhanced our fleet management portal. Not only was the user interface redesigned, but the underlying technology was also comprehensively modernized and migrated to a high-performance, future-proof platform architecture.
As a result, the GPS Explorer now has a more modern, uncluttered, and significantly clearer layout. Structures, sections, and navigation paths have been redesigned so that information can be accessed more quickly and daily fleet management tasks can be completed even more smoothly.

Important for all existing users:

No existing features have been removed. However, some features may now be located in a new place where, in our view, they fit better and more logically into the respective workflow. We are aware that such a change may take some getting used to at first. Our Customer Support team will, of course, be happy to assist you with any questions.

Numerous New Enhancements

As part of this fundamental redevelopment, numerous functional enhancements have also been introduced—including in the Rule Manager, the communication interface, the Lane Editor, and the Timeline. These enhancements ensure better usability, a clearer presentation of information, and additional options for data collection and analysis.
In addition, many minor features, optimizations, and bug fixes have been implemented. As usual, these are continuously documented in the changelog.


Look forward to a GPS Explorer that combines familiar functionality with a more modern, clearer, and significantly smoother user experience.
 

Integrate Cameras Directly into the Telematics System

With the new GPSauge HUB, existing or newly installed vehicle cameras can be integrated directly into the GPSoverIP telematics system. Up to four connected cameras can record and archive continuous video footage—similar to how a dashcam works.

Remote Access

The key difference: Both live footage and previously archived video sequences can be accessed remotely via the GPS-Explorer. This means that relevant recordings are no longer available exclusively within the vehicle but can be accessed directly in the fleet management portal.

Linking Videos to Vehicle and Activity Data

Particularly useful is the ability to link video recordings to the vehicle and activity data recorded in the GPS Explorer. For example, with a single click, the corresponding video clip can be displayed for a documented winter road maintenance operation. For waste collection vehicles as well, the specific process of emptying a container or unloading waste can be specifically accessed.

Matching Sequence via Timestamp

Using the respective timestamp, the corresponding sequence is automatically extracted from the continuous recording and made available in the GPS Explorer in no time via over-the-air transmission. This allows individual operations to be viewed quickly, transparently, and directly within their respective work context.

Continue using existing displays

The GPSauge HUB can not only receive and archive the video signal but also simultaneously forward it to existing displays in the vehicle. Existing camera systems and displays can thus continue to be used and expanded to include the capabilities of central archiving and online access.

Transparency and Traceability

The GPSauge HUB integrates existing video technology with the GPS-Explorer’s vehicle, time, and activity data—for greater transparency, traceability, and targeted visual documentation.

New Generation of Bluetooth Tags

With a new generation of high-performance Bluetooth tags, we are expanding our product line for the wireless tracking and localization of vehicles, objects, and conditions. Based on Bluetooth Low Energy and BLE Long Range, these tags offer impressive features such as greater range, reliable signal transmission, and very long battery life with minimal maintenance.

Versatile Applications

Whether containers, trailers, or attachments—the tags can be reliably located and assigned to a vehicle or location. Depending on the model, they also track statuses and measurement values—such as door openings or temperatures—and transmit this data to the GPSoverIP system. Thanks to their simple integration, they can be flexibly incorporated into existing telematics solutions.

Transparency for Mobile Assets

This means a cost-effective and versatile range of modern Bluetooth tags is now available—for greater transparency regarding vehicles, cargo carriers, attachments, and other mobile assets.

For now, let's just enjoy the summer. After that, it'll be time to plan the next step together.

A topic that’s slowly coming into focus

Vacation, summer, and holidays are just around the corner—enjoy this time! Nevertheless, we’d like to remind you today of a topic that’s slowly coming into focus: Following the recent shutdown of the 3G network, the end of 2G mobile technology is also on the horizon, starting in 2028.

The Right Time for the Next Step

Many of our customers have deliberately used their existing systems for a long time and in a cost-effective manner. That was the right thing to do. Now, however, the time is slowly approaching to start thinking about the next step—in good time, without stress, and without unnecessary time pressure.

A whole new world of features

This isn’t just about avoiding an emerging coverage gap. Rather, the switch to the latest generation of devices opens up a whole new world of features and possibilities. Depending on the hardware and configuration used, the following features—among others—are available:

GPSoverIP offers attractive migration, replacement, and switchover models tailored to your existing fleet of devices. Together, we’ll assess which solution is the best technical and economic fit for your fleet and how existing installations can be migrated as seamlessly as possible into the current cloud and platform environment.

Early Planning Pays Off

Early planning also helps ensure that delivery times and availability are taken into account well in advance. This prevents any gap between the current and future generations of mobile networks, allowing your ongoing operations to continue without unnecessary interruptions.

Let’s talk about it after the summer

So, enjoy your vacation first. Afterward, let’s simply talk. Give us a call—or we’ll stop by your office in person again. Over a cup of coffee together, we can best discuss the new opportunities available for your fleet.

Where the future takes shape, the connection must never be lost

With GPSoverIP, you’ll not only make a safe transition to the next generation of mobile communications, but also enter a new world of telematics. We have the right solution for you.

Waste Management Telematics Further Expanded

Specialized applications, additional status information, and new documentation options.

The Waste Management App Takes Center Stage

In addition to our solutions for winter road maintenance and municipal cleaning and street-sweeping operations, we have also consistently further developed our waste management offerings. At the heart of this is the waste management app, which has been comprehensively enhanced in several areas:

• Stability
• Performance
• Usability
   

End-to-End Solution for All Stakeholders

The application can be used on the GPSauge TAB, among other devices, and—together with the waste management module in the GPS-Explorer—provides an end-to-end solution for all stakeholders:

• Drivers
• Dispatch
• Administration
   

It supports the structured execution and documentation of waste disposal activities directly in the vehicle.

Additional Data via CleanOpen

The application is particularly powerful thanks to direct data retrieval via CleanOpen. This communication protocol allows for the collection of additional status and activity information regarding the vehicle body, which is not available in this form via traditional vehicle telematics.

Precisely Map Workflows Digitally

This allows actual workflows to be digitally mapped with significantly greater precision. In addition to the distance traveled, other information can also be contextualized in terms of time and location, visualized, and analyzed:

• Relevant Activities
• Status messages
• Completed tasks
   

Enhanced Lane Editor

The route editor has also been further developed in this context. As a result, digital status information and completed activities can be displayed even more clearly within the route. A look at the current application clearly demonstrates the additional details and analysis options this provides.

Flexible Use via the GPSauge Mobile App

The waste management app is also optionally included in the GPSauge Mobile App. This allows it to be used not only on the GPSauge TAB but also on other compatible tablet systems and flexibly integrated into existing work environments. The result is the ideal mobile solution for the diverse requirements of the waste management industry.

Sustainable video documentation with the GPSauge HUB

When used in conjunction with the GPSauge HUB, the solution is enhanced with sustainable video documentation. Relevant activities can be linked to their respective timestamps and documented in a traceable manner through the associated archived video sequences.

A Comprehensive Total Solution

These various components come together to form a comprehensive solution that goes far beyond mere vehicle tracking and digitally captures the work actually performed:

• Waste Management App
• CleanOpen Data
• Route Visualization
• Video
    Documentation

Presented at the Waste Management Logistics & Municipal Technology Day

We also presented these new capabilities at the Waste Management Logistics & Municipal Technology Day organized by WFZruhr. The high level of interest and the numerous discussions on-site demonstrated just how great the need is for practical, end-to-end solutions for the waste management industry.

Outlook and Contact

In addition, we’ll be releasing more short tutorials showcasing selected features and specific applications of waste management telematics.

Would you like to learn about the possibilities for your fleet? Feel free to contact us. We’ll demonstrate the solution to you in person and work with you to determine how it can be integrated into your existing processes.

Our GPS Eyes are moving—to Australia!

Don’t worry: The development team in Schweinfurt hasn’t cleared out their desks or ordered kangaroo dictionaries just in case. It’s our GPSaugen that have emigrated—and they’re already feeling right at home “Down Under.”

OEM Partnership with Putzmeister

As part of our OEM partnership with Putzmeister, the GPSauge MI6 PRO is now increasingly being used in Australia. Integrated directly into the machines and vehicles, it reliably collects, transmits, and provides relevant data there:

• Vehicle data
• Machine data
• Operational data
   

Screed Production on Wheels

Putzmeister is known worldwide for its high-performance concrete pumps, mortar machines, and screed conveying technology. This includes systems that store screed materials directly on the vehicle, precisely dose and mix them, and convey them to the construction site—essentially a complete screed production system on wheels. (putzmeister.com)

The Strength of Tailored OEM Telematics

It is precisely with such specialized vehicles that the strength of tailor-made OEM telematics becomes apparent. The GPSauge MI6 PRO isn’t simply “stuck somewhere” as an aftermarket addition; rather, it is integrated into the specific vehicle and machinery environment in a pre-configured manner. Different interfaces and telemetry data can be consolidated into a single solution and made available to all stakeholders:

• Manufacturers
• Operators
• Service
   

The GPSauge system architecture is specifically designed for such OEM integrations and for connecting a wide variety of vehicle and machine interfaces. (GPSauge)

Expertise from Schweinfurt Knows No Borders

We are, of course, particularly pleased that our technology is now increasingly making its way all the way to Australia. At the same time, it shows that decades of development expertise from Schweinfurt do not end at national borders—and that a GPSauge keeps a close eye on things even on the other side of the world.

We wish our little “emigrants” all the best “Down Under.” By the way, they won’t need sunscreen—a reliable cellular connection is all they need.

Data knows no system boundaries

New protocols, new interfaces, and even more integration options.

The strength of modern telematics is particularly evident when information doesn’t remain confined to individual systems but is available exactly where it’s needed. That’s why we’ve once again expanded our integration and interface capabilities.

New Protocol: Reinex High-Pressure Technology

By integrating the Reinex High-Pressure Technology protocol, additional information can be captured directly and incorporated into GPSoverIP’s telematics processes:

• Machine information
• Operational information
• Status information
   

This enables an even more detailed digital representation of the work actually performed, even for specialized technical applications.

New Interface: Odoo

An additional interface connection has been established with the Odoo business software. Among other things, Odoo connects multiple business areas on a single platform:

• Inventory Management
• Inventory
• Sales
• Accounting
• CRM
• Project Management
   

Device and system information from GPSoverIP can thus be integrated directly into the relevant business processes and processed further without unnecessary duplicate data entry. (Odoo)

New Integration: DSV

Another significant integration milestone was achieved with DSV: The globally active transportation and logistics group has implemented a direct interface with GPSoverIP. DSV operates internationally in several sectors:

• Road transport
• Air transport
• Maritime transport
• Rail transport
• Contract logistics
   

Through the new integration, relevant telematics data can be automatically transferred into the company’s own processes and systems. (DSV)

A Seamless Data Flow

Whether it’s specialized machinery, an ERP system, or a global logistics network: GPSoverIP connects vehicles, technology, and business processes into a seamless data flow.

From a digital logbook to a customizable vehicle solution.

jammer.net is more than just an app and an OBD connector. With the right accessories, the logbook solution can be customized to fit your specific vehicle and intended use.

The Right Accessories for Every Application

Options include, among others:

• Bluetooth tags for automatic driver identification and additional anti-theft features
• A Y-cable for discreet and permanent integration of the OBD connector
• Matching extension cables for special installation situations
   

New: Optional immobilizer
