OptivoTrack gives you full visibility over your fleet (position, consumption, driving style, maintenance, emissions) regardless of how you choose to connect. You can also mix modes: OBD on a car, CAN on a truck, OEM Cloud on a leased vehicle. All in one dashboard.
Hardware-free
Can you track a fleet without installing hardware on the vehicles?
Yes, if the vehicles are connected from the factory: that is OEM Cloud. To know when each delivery was completed the driver app is enough, but it does not record position.
Data from the manufacturer (OEM Cloud)
Recent vans leave the factory with a SIM and GPS and send their data to the manufacturer. With the VIN and the owner's consent, OptivoTrack receives it: real-time position, true mileage, consumption, vehicle state. It works on recent models from the thirty compatible brands, leased vehicles included.
The Optivo driver app records when each delivery is completed, with photos, signature and notes, with nothing on board the vehicle. It does not record the phone's position: the delivery location is the one set in the plan. It is the data you need to control deliveries, not a tracker.
Older vehicles or manufacturers not on the list, cargo temperatures, door opening, on-board weight, engine immobilisation: data the manufacturer does not transmit. It comes from an OBD tracker or the CAN bus unit, in the same dashboard as the rest of the fleet.
With or without hardware, the position of a vehicle driven by an employee is employee monitoring: GDPR rules apply, and in Italy also Article 4 of the Workers' Statute, with a union agreement or Labour Inspectorate authorisation and a notice to drivers. The OptivoTrack compliance dossier
Activate a vehicle in minutes, with no modifications.
Ideal for
SMBs, mixed fleets, fast onboarding, vehicles without native connectivity. When you want to see results immediately.
The Optivo OBD device connects to the vehicle's diagnostic port. No wiring, no workshop: plug it in and go. The fastest way to start, working on virtually any internal-combustion vehicle. It also reads Bluetooth beacons in the cargo area: temperature and door opening, with no wiring.
What you get
Real-time GPS position
Vehicle location with route history and geofence entry/exit alerts.
Heavy vehicles, cold chain, anti-theft, fleets needing predictive maintenance or remote control. When OBD data isn't enough.
When position alone isn't enough. Direct integration with the vehicle's CAN bus (or via FMS gateway on heavy vehicles) unlocks deep telemetry and remote actions. The technical mode for critical fleets.
What you get
Remote engine immobilization
Anti-theft, vehicle recovery, end-of-lease and payment management. Triggered from the Control Tower.
Real-time warning lights
Specific fault alerts before they cause downtime. Predictive maintenance based on real parameters.
Specialized telemetry
Multi-point temperature monitoring for cold chain and door opening, with wired probes or Bluetooth beacons in the cargo area; on-board weight, PTO usage and other operational parameters.
FMS gateway for trucks
FMS standard for heavy vehicles: real engine hours, levels, accurate per-km consumption.
Wired unit, temperature probes, Bluetooth beacons and immobiliser relay: the hardware of the CAN bus mode.
Mode 3
OEM Cloud: no hardware
Data straight from the manufacturer. Nothing to install, nothing to manage.
Ideal for
Leased fleets, modern natively-connected vehicles, mixed fleets across manufacturers, companies that don't want to manage hardware.
Modern vehicles already produce telemetry: they send it to the manufacturer. With fleet owner consent and in compliance with the EU Data Act, we access that data directly. Zero hardware, zero installation: activate a vehicle using the VIN.
What you get
Activation in minutes with VIN
Nothing to install, no workshop. Owner consent is enough.
30+ compatible brands
Volkswagen Group, Stellantis, BMW, Mercedes, Ford, Renault, Toyota, Volvo and more. See the full list below.
Native manufacturer telemetry
First-quality data: real mileage, consumption, vehicle status, position. No signal loss from aftermarket devices.
EU Data Act compliant
Connected vehicle data access under European regulation (Reg. 2023/2854), in force since 12 September 2025.
For OEM Cloud all it takes is the VIN on the chassis plate: no device to fit.
Goods and containers
Tracking goods and containers with OptivoTrack
Vehicle tracking sees the goods while they are on board. For totes, insulated shippers and roll cages that move to a carrier or stay at a customer's site, OptivoTrack extends to standalone trackers that we set up for your case: battery-powered devices with their own cellular connection that keep reporting away from the vehicle.
What gets measured
Position
Outdoors and indoors, including when the container travels on vehicles you don't own.
Temperature
The history during the journey and an alert when it leaves the set range, before the container comes back.
Shocks and tipping
The time and severity of each impact, so you know on which leg it happened.
Opening
When the container is opened, and where it was at that moment.
How it starts
As a project. We start from the legs of your journey where the goods are not on your vehicles, and set up the trackers there. If the goods always stay on board, vehicle tracking is enough.
OptivoTrack moves maintenance from the calendar to the vehicle's real data: it reads diagnostics, catches deviations and anticipates downtime. It's the concrete foundation of a predictive approach, across all three connection modes.
Real-time diagnostics
Reads the ECU's diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) and translates them into clear alerts, before they become a warning light noticed at end of day.
Proactive threshold alerts
Automatic warnings when a parameter leaves its range: battery voltage, tyre pressure, temperatures.
Intelligent deviation monitoring
Compares the vehicle's behaviour with its own normal and flags the anomaly before the critical threshold.
Scheduling on real data
Servicing, insurance and inspections calculated on each vehicle's actual use, not on a fixed date for everyone.
Risk prioritisation
Scoring on vehicle use and condition: you know which one to check first, instead of treating the whole fleet the same way.
GPS on company vehicles: employee privacy and the Workers' Statute
In Italy, tracking vehicles driven by employees is allowed with a union agreement or a Labour Inspectorate authorization, plus a privacy notice to drivers. The procedure stays with the company: OptivoTrack gives you the documents to start it and records position only when it is needed.
The compliance dossier
The documents that Article 4 of the Workers' Statute and the GDPR require before you switch GPS on, and the help to use them.
Driver privacy notice
What is collected, position and driving style included, for what purpose, for how long and who can access it. Without a notice the data cannot be used (Article 4, paragraph 3).
DPIA
The impact assessment on geolocation and driver scoring: the Italian data protection authority requires it for systems that allow remote monitoring of employees.
Technical note on the device
What the device records, which driving events feed the score, how often, how long data is kept and who sees it: the document you attach to the union agreement or to the Inspectorate application.
Support through the process
We work with you through the Labour Inspectorate authorization or the agreement with union representatives (RSA/RSU).
Time-window filter
Service time windows are configured, and outside them the vehicle's position is not recorded. It is the off-duty deactivation the Italian DPA calls for, and it works without the driver having to remember to switch anything off.
Owner-operators and contractors
A contractor's vehicle connects to OptivoTrack like a company-owned one, and with time windows you only see the service it runs for you. The dossier adapts to the roles: the shipper is usually the data controller, the Article 4 procedure falls to a contractor with employee drivers, and for an owner-operator with no employees the GDPR obligations remain.
The dossier does not replace your labour advisor: it gives them the technical documents to start from.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions on tracking
Can I track my fleet without installing devices?
Yes, with OEM Cloud, if your vehicles are connected from the factory (most post-2018 models are): we access the data directly from the manufacturer, with the VIN and the owner's consent. The driver app does not record position: it tells you when each delivery was completed, not where the phone was. Older vehicles and the data the manufacturer does not transmit, such as cargo temperatures and engine immobilisation, still need a device.
What does the EU Data Act mean for my fleet?
Since 12 September 2025 you have the right to access the data your connected vehicle produces, and to nominate Optivo as a third-party recipient. In practice: no more lock-in to the manufacturer's app or imposed telematics contracts.
Can I combine multiple tracking modes?
Yes. You can have OBD on some vehicles, CAN on others, OEM Cloud on others still. All data flows into the same dashboard. Useful for mixed fleets or gradual migrations.
Do you also track containers and totes?
Yes, as a project. We start from the legs of your journey that are uncovered, meaning those where the goods are not on your vehicles, and set up standalone trackers there for totes, insulated shippers, roll cages or pallets. They report position, temperature, shocks and opening even when the goods travel on vehicles you don't own. If the goods always stay on your vehicles, vehicle tracking with load-area sensors is enough.
How much does each mode cost?
Pricing is custom based on vehicles, data scope and term. OBD Plug & Play is the most economical entry point; CAN and OEM Cloud have different costs depending on complexity. We provide a concrete quote in a demo.
Which manufacturers are compatible with OEM Cloud?
30+ brands across 12 industrial groups including Volkswagen Group (incl. VW Commercial Vehicles), Stellantis (Fiat, Peugeot, Citroën, Opel, Jeep, Alfa Romeo), BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Renault, Toyota, Volvo, Polestar, Tesla. List growing.
Is CAN bus only for trucks?
No. CAN is for when you need specialized telemetry or remote actions: engine immobilization, multi-temperature, predictive maintenance. It applies to vans and cars too, not just heavy vehicles.
What if I change the vehicle?
With OBD you unplug and replug. With OEM Cloud you update the VIN in the dashboard. With CAN you need an installer.
Does OptivoTrack do predictive maintenance?
OptivoTrack provides the data foundation and the alerts a predictive approach rests on: it reads diagnostic trouble codes (DTC), generates proactive threshold alerts, monitors deviations and manages schedules on real usage data. It's data-driven maintenance: the concrete step towards predictive, not a model that promises to guess the failure to the kilometre.
