Stay in control as your fleet grows

As your business grows beyond a handful of vehicles, managing a fleet becomes more complex. Fuel costs increase, maintenance turns reactive, and keeping track of drivers, routes, and vehicle usage takes time away from running your business. Without dedicated fleet management support, fleet owners often end up juggling operations, customers, and risk, making it harder to stay efficient and profitable as your fleet grows.

Netstar provides fleet management solutions designed for businesses with 5–15 vehicles that need visibility without complexity. Combining real-time tracking, fuel and maintenance monitoring, and driver insights with expert human support, we act as your fleet manager before you need to hire one. It’s everything you need to stay in control, reduce costs, and run a smarter fleet - without the overhead of enterprise systems.

Why Netstar

 

01

See where your vehicles are and where money is leaking

Real-time GPS tracking, journey history, and geofencing give you immediate visibility across your fleet. No more guessing where vehicles are, how long jobs take, or why fuel bills don’t add up.

02

Control fuel, maintenance, and driver behaviour

Driver behaviour insights highlight speeding, harsh braking, and inefficient driving that drives up fuel and maintenance costs. Service reminders and usage tracking help prevent breakdowns before they cost you time and money.

03

Protect your vehicles, equipment, and drivers

With 24/7 monitoring, panic buttons, wireless backup devices, and JammingResist technology, your assets are protected — even in high-risk environments. When something does go wrong, Netstar’s recovery teams deliver a recovery rate of over 90%.

Hear from our Netstar fleet experts

Meet Mark Forbes from Netstar. As General Manager for Fleet Bureau and Fleet Intelligence, he oversees the teams that monitor your fleets around the clock. In this 2-minute breakdown, he explains why operators find out about incidents too late, what real protection looks like, and how Netstar's bureau services and response teams work together to protect your assets.
Meet Kaylin Phillips. As Netstar's Product Manager, he works with fleet operators every day who are dealing with rising fuel costs, driver behaviour issues, and maintenance surprises.

In this video, he talks about fleet intelligence solutions that actually move the needle for operators like you, including real-time driver monitoring, predictive maintenance alerts, and reporting.

Kaylin has helped hundreds of fleet operators figure out the same thing during his time as product manager at Netstar: am I getting real value from my telematics, or is it just another monthly cost?

In this video, he walks you through how to make sure your solution is delivering actual ROI - from the fuel and maintenance savings you should be seeing, to the data that shows you where money is going. Because you need every rand working for your business.

If you have 10 drivers, do you know which ones are costing you fuel - and which ones are saving it? Mark Forbes, General Manager of Fleet Bureau and Fleet Intelligence, explains how driver behaviour data reveals who's performing and who needs coaching. In this guided explainer, Mark breaks down how to identify your best drivers, spot the habits that drain margins, and use data to improve performance across your fleet.

Think driving slower saves fuel? Not always. There's a sweet spot - the green band - where your engine runs at its most efficient.

Mark Forbes has spent over a decade working with fleet operators on exactly this. As GM of the Global Fleet Bureau at Netstar, he sees the same pattern all the time; operators losing money on fuel without realising the fix is in how their drivers are driving, not just how far.

In this video, he explains what green band driving actually means and why it matters.

For the ones who don't stop

 

The data you're collecting every day holds the answers to fuel waste, maintenance timing, and operational blind spots.


Here's what smart operators are doing with it.

 

There are two ways to run a fleet. One keeps you reacting. The other keeps you moving.

 

Are you catching problems or chasing them?
