TMOB alternative
TMOB (Solari di Udine Group) is an Italian fleet tracking solution based on proprietary hardware and the CloudStreet cloud portal, specialised in airport vehicles and operating machinery. Optivo is an all-in-one platform for last-mile delivery with three tracking modes (OBD, CAN bus, hardware-free Cloud OEM), AI route optimization and driver app with digital POD.
Updated on:
TMOB is a consolidated solution for satellite monitoring of corporate fleets and specialised vehicles (airport, operating machinery). Companies evaluating alternatives typically look for a platform that goes beyond pure tracking — with AI route optimization, driver app with digital Proof of Delivery, hardware-free connection modes (Cloud OEM, aligned with the EU Data Act applicable since 12 September 2025) and an integrated last-mile workflow.
TMOB is a solid product backed by Solari di Udine Group, a historic leader in mobility (public information displays, ticketing, parking management, access control). The CloudStreet platform is fully developed on Microsoft Azure cloud and is particularly suited to fleets with specialised needs: airport vehicles (perimeter control, runway personnel management), operating machinery with the SA-102 device and Certified Fiscal Counter for fuel excise reduction, public administrations. Vertical hardware-software integration ensures technical consistency and unified support.
Key differences
TMOB covers location, monitoring and fleet reporting with proprietary hardware + CloudStreet portal. Optivo is an all-in-one platform for last-mile delivery: AI route optimization (OptivoRoute), fleet tracking with 3 modes (OptivoTrack), driver app with digital POD, live Control Tower with automatic re-planning and KPI/ESG dashboard. If your need is last-mile operational, Optivo reduces the number of vendors and contracts to manage.
TMOB uses proprietary hardware (e.g., SA-102 device) installed on the vehicle. Optivo offers three complementary modes combinable in the same dashboard: Plug & Play OBD (proprietary device, activation in minutes per vehicle), CAN bus for advanced telemetry on heavy vehicles, and Cloud OEM for natively connected vehicles (Stellantis via Mobilisights, Volkswagen Group, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Ford and other 30+ brands) — cloud data access without installing any device, in compliance with the EU Data Act.
Optivo natively includes the AI engine for multi-constraint route optimization (time windows, vehicle capacity, owner-operators, sectoral sequences) and a responsive driver WebApp with delivery list, navigation, digital signature, POD photo and outcome management — ready from day one. TMOB is focused on the fleet manager and the back-office console; for route optimization and driver app with digital POD, it requires integration with external systems or custom development.
TMOB has strong specialisations in airport vehicles, fiscally certified operating machinery and public administration, where pure satellite monitoring is the core need. Optivo is born for the Italian last mile: pharmaceutical distribution (Univex, Q Farma, Logital, Geos), food & beverage (Bonduelle), agrifood toward retail (GDO). The operational constraints of deliveries (customer windows, sequences, live re-planning) are at the heart of the product, not an extension.
| Dimension | TMOB | Optivo |
|---|---|---|
| Origin and focus | Italian (Udine), Solari di Udine Group | Italian (Rome), last mile |
| Main category | Satellite fleet tracking | All-in-one last-mile platform |
| Tracking hardware | Proprietary (e.g., SA-102) | OBD plug & play, CAN bus, Cloud OEM |
| Hardware-free mode | Not available | Cloud OEM (30+ brands, EU Data Act) |
| AI route optimization | Not focus | Yes, sectoral multi-constraint |
| Driver app and digital POD | Not native | WebApp included, digital POD |
| Live Control Tower | Yes (monitoring) | Yes (live + re-planning) |
| Vertical specialties | Airport, operating machinery (Fiscal Counter) | Pharma, food & beverage, agrifood, retail |
| Pricing model | Custom quote | Modular quote based on fleet and modules |
Both platforms adopt a custom-quote model without published pricing, calibrated on the fleet, hardware and active software modules. The difference is in the breadth of what's included in the same contract.
Custom quote based on number of vehicles, hardware installed (e.g., SA-102 device with or without Fiscal Counter for diesel excise reduction on operating machinery), CloudStreet software modules activated and contract duration.
Modular quote based on fleet, active modules and chosen tracking mode (OBD, CAN bus or Cloud OEM). Includes driver app, onboarding and Optivo team support. On modern vehicles, Cloud OEM mode eliminates upfront hardware cost. Book a demo for a personalised quote on your fleet.
Choose TMOB if…
You manage specialised fleets where pure satellite monitoring is the core need: airport vehicles in controlled perimeter (runway personnel management, access control), operating machinery for which you need the certified Fiscal Counter for diesel excise reduction, public administration vehicles with standardised control requirements. If pure tracking on the fleet-manager side is enough and you seek the unique hardware-software integration guaranteed by Solari Group, TMOB is a consolidated choice.
Choose Optivo if…
You operate in the Italian/EU last mile (pharma, food & beverage, agrifood, commercial distribution), you manage a fleet between 5 and 200 vehicles, you want a single vendor for route optimization + tracking + driver app + digital POD, and you seek flexibility in tracking modes — including the ability to activate natively connected vehicles via Cloud OEM without installing aftermarket hardware.
The transition is managed by the Optivo team to minimise impact on dispatchers and preserve operational historical data.
We map the vehicles currently tracked with TMOB and identify the most suitable Optivo mode for each: OBD plug & play for most, CAN bus for vehicles with advanced telemetry, Cloud OEM for post-2019 natively connected vehicles (Stellantis, VW Group, BMW and other 30+ brands).
We import tracking history, vehicle records, drivers, geofences and configured alert rules. Operational history is preserved for analytical continuity.
On Cloud OEM vehicles, activation is VIN-based without intervention on the vehicle. On OBD/CAN vehicles, TMOB hardware is removed and replaced by the Optivo tracker in minutes per vehicle.
Training of the operational team on the unified Optivo dashboard: tracking + route optimization + driver app + KPIs in a single console. Onboarding managed directly by the Optivo team.
Optivo handles tracking on any type of vehicle, but TMOB's specialisations for airport perimeter (runway access control, specific personnel management, integration with airport security systems) are highly vertical. If you manage a fleet exclusively at airports where pure satellite monitoring is the main need, TMOB remains the more direct vertical choice. Optivo is the right choice when the fleet performs last-mile deliveries or requires multi-constraint route optimization.
No, Optivo does not integrate the Certified Fiscal Counter required for diesel excise reduction on operating machinery. On that specific tax requirement TMOB has a vertical advantage thanks to the SA-102 device. Optivo addresses commercial delivery fleets, where tax needs are different (eFTI shipping documents, transport document generation, sectoral compliance pharma/food).
Optivo does not directly integrate third-party hardware, but it is designed to coexist during the transition period. The most common practice: activate Optivo (Cloud OEM or Optivo tracker) in parallel with TMOB for 1-2 weeks on candidate vehicles, validate the operational setup, then progressively decommission TMOB hardware. For fleets above 30 vehicles, parallel running can be extended.
Yes. Optivo is an Italian company based in Rome (Optivo S.r.l., VAT 16678681004). The team supports customers directly in Italian, with hands-on onboarding and training. No ticket system: direct relationship with the team that follows you.
TMOB is focused on fleet management and back-office monitoring via the CloudStreet portal. For deliveries with a driver app (digital POD with signature and photo, outcome management, two-way communication with the dispatcher, integrated navigation), it requires integration of an external app or custom development. Optivo natively includes the responsive driver WebApp — works from the browser on any smartphone without installation.
Typically 2-4 weeks for a fleet between 20 and 50 vehicles: census, data and master records import, Optivo mode activation (Cloud OEM without intervention on connected vehicles, OBD plug & play on the others), TMOB hardware decommissioning and dispatcher onboarding. For fleets above 30 vehicles, 1-2 weeks of parallel running is recommended before the complete switch.
