7 Best Quartix Alternatives in 2026 | Traknova

TL;DR

Quartix has tracked UK vehicles since 2001 and is one of the few fleet platforms with genuinely published pricing. InfoPoint starts at £9.99 per vehicle per month. The company has 35,000+ customers, 1 million+ units deployed and is listed on the London Stock Exchange. It is a credible, established product. The gaps are real: no immobiliser of any kind, interval tracking rather than real-time, and a tracking-only proposition that leaves operators sourcing security and dashcam separately. This article covers seven alternatives. Traknova is our recommended first choice and was named Fleet Management Company of the Year at the Prestige Awards 2025/26.

How we selected these alternatives

Operators searching for a Quartix alternative are typically at one of three points: outgrowing GPS-only tracking, worried about vehicle security, or wanting dashcam and tracking integrated in one platform. We selected each option on these criteria.

• Security beyond GPS tracking. Relay attacks account for roughly 70 percent of UK vehicle theft. An alternative that does not include a ghost immobiliser or relay blocker is repeating the Quartix gap.
• Real-time tracking. One-minute or two-minute interval tracking is not the same as real-time. For theft recovery, driver monitoring and live dispatch, the gap matters.
• Dashcam integration. Running a separate dashcam supplier means a separate bill, a separate login and no connection between footage and location data.
• TfL approval for PCO and taxi operators. The camera system must be on the TfL approved list. This is not negotiable for London PHV operators.
• Platform depth and simplicity. Tracking and security together, behind one login, on one price per vehicle.
• Digital tracking option. Going live without an engineer visit is valuable for pilots and for fleets that need speed of deployment.
• UK support and install network. Local support and professional fitting matter for compliance and quality control.

Competitor details were checked in August 2026. Pricing changes often, so confirm current rates on each provider’s own site before you decide.

Why people switch from Quartix

The first reason is the immobiliser gap. Relay attacks are the dominant vehicle theft method in the UK and they are getting more common. A relay kit costs under £50 and a keyless car can be taken in under 60 seconds by a two-person team. Quartix tells you where the vehicle went. It does not stop the vehicle starting. That gap has pushed operators toward platforms that layer tracking with a covert ghost immobiliser.

The second reason is interval tracking versus real-time. The InfoPoint tier updates every two minutes. That is sufficient for routine reporting and basic fleet visibility. It is not sufficient for tracking a vehicle in the minutes immediately after a theft report, or for monitoring driver behaviour through a city centre with sub-minute precision. Operators who start with the entry tier and then push its limits are the ones who switch.

The third reason is platform fragmentation. Quartix is a tracking platform. A camera comes from another supplier. An immobiliser comes from a third. Each has its own login, its own billing cycle and its own support number. When those bills add up and the admin overhead grows, the argument for one platform with everything included becomes compelling. The saving is not always in the per-vehicle cost but in the time and admin load eliminated.

The fourth reason is that some operators simply outgrow the brief. Quartix is well designed for straightforward fleet tracking. As fleet operations grow to include driver coaching, detailed AI insights and integrated security, a dedicated tracking platform becomes insufficient without supplements.

The 7 best Quartix alternatives

1. Traknova

traknova.com | Best for: UK taxi, PHV, rental and leasing operators who need tracking, security and dashcam in one place

Traknova is what Quartix is not: a security-first operator platform. The ghost immobiliser is covert and works by blocking the start sequence unless a correct PIN or authorised driver ID tag is present. A relay attack bypasses the factory lock. It does not bypass the ghost immobiliser. Remote lock and unlock, geofencing alerts and one-click immobilisation give operators live control over their vehicles, not just visibility of where they have been.

The dashcam records up to five angles, TfL-approved for PCO work, with footage stored in the cloud for up to 12 months. The tracking is real-time GPS with AI driver scoring built in. That combination means one login, one bill, one support relationship, and the data from camera, tracker and immobiliser in the same dashboard.

The commercial argument is straightforward. If you are paying Quartix for tracking, a separate supplier for a dashcam and a separate installer for an immobiliser, pulling that into one platform at one price per vehicle typically reduces both cost and complexity. That is the 20 to 30 percent saving compared to fragmented multi-vendor setups, where fragmented tooling is the real cost driver.

Pricing: £150 installation plus £100 per device. One platform, one price per vehicle.

Strengths

• Covert ghost immobiliser and relay protection that Quartix cannot match
• Real-time GPS tracking versus interval-based
• TfL-approved 4G dashcam with up to 5 angles and 12 months cloud storage
• Digital tracking live from activation, no engineer visit required

Limitations

• Bespoke pricing requires a quote rather than published tiers
• Newer company, less track record than Quartix’s 25-year history

2. Teletrac Navman

teletracnavman.com | Best for: UK operators who need HGV compliance, tachograph and established fleet management tools

Teletrac Navman has an established UK fleet management platform covering GPS tracking, driver behaviour, dashcam and tachograph compliance. The TN360 platform adds AI-powered insights and predictive analytics. For operators with HGV vehicles requiring tachograph download and drivers’ hours compliance, this is a capable choice.

The contract commitment is the consideration. Teletrac Navman requires a minimum three-year term, which limits flexibility for growing or changing fleet operations. Pricing is contact-only. No ghost immobiliser is offered.

Pricing: Contact for pricing.

Strengths

• HGV compliance and tachograph download for regulated UK fleets
• Established UK presence with a range of fleet platform tiers

Limitations

• Minimum three-year contract terms
• No ghost immobiliser or vehicle immobilisation

3. Geotab

geotab.com | Best for: Fleets needing deep data analytics, open integrations and global scale

Geotab’s MyGeotab platform covers tracking, driver behaviour, diagnostics, fuel analytics and fleet optimisation for 5 million+ connected vehicles globally. The 399+ marketplace integrations and open SDK make it a powerful choice for enterprise fleets with complex workflows. The GO OBD device is plug-and-play for basic tracking.

For UK SME operators, the reseller model is the main consideration. Geotab does not sell directly in the UK. Pricing and support vary by the authorised reseller you choose. There is no native ghost immobiliser, and immobilisation via a relay add-on requires an engineering install.

Pricing: Contact for pricing through authorised resellers.

Strengths

• Deep data analytics and 399+ integrations for complex fleet operations
• GO OBD plug-in device, no professional installation for basic tracking

Limitations

• Sold through resellers, no direct relationship with Geotab
• No native ghost immobiliser or relay protection

4. Samsara

samsara.com | Best for: Large enterprise fleets who want mature AI camera technology and HGV compliance tools

Samsara is the enterprise end of the market. The AI multicam system is genuinely mature, with drowsiness detection, real-time driver coaching and 380,000+ claimed accidents prevented. For UK HGV operators, tachograph and O-licence compliance tools are included. The pricing is enterprise-level and contact-only.

For a Quartix customer looking for a step up, Samsara represents a significant jump in both capability and cost. No ghost immobiliser is included.

Pricing: Contact for pricing.

Strengths

• AI multicam with drowsiness detection, genuinely mature technology
• HGV compliance including tachograph downloads and O-licence tools

Limitations

• Enterprise pricing model, not designed for SME fleet budgets

Webfleet is TomTom’s fleet management platform covering real-time tracking, driver behaviour, routing and dispatch, job management and EV fleet tools. It is one of the more widely used SME fleet tools in the UK. Three tiers scale from basic tracking to full dispatch and compliance.

For operators who need routing and job dispatch alongside tracking, Webfleet closes a capability gap Quartix has. It does not include a ghost immobiliser.

Pricing: Contact for pricing (estimated £10 to £35/vehicle/month by tier).

Strengths

• Routing, dispatch and job management alongside tracking
• EV fleet tools and driver behaviour monitoring

Limitations

• No ghost immobiliser or covert vehicle security

Crystal Ball is a UK fleet dashcam and tracking provider combining 4G cloud-connected cameras with GPS tracking on a single subscription. The camera footage is cloud-stored and accessible remotely. For operators who want dashcam and tracking without the platform depth of larger providers, this is a focused offering.

No ghost immobiliser is offered. Platform depth is narrower than the enterprise options on this list.

Pricing: Contact for pricing.

Strengths

• UK provider combining dashcam and tracking on one subscription
• Cloud-stored footage accessible remotely

Limitations

• No ghost immobiliser or vehicle security tools
• Narrower platform depth than larger providers

Our verdict

Quartix is a good product for what it does. It tracks vehicles reliably with published pricing and a 25-year track record. The gap is security and platform depth. Teletrac Navman suits UK HGV operators with compliance requirements. Geotab gives data depth and open integrations through a reseller model. Samsara is the enterprise AI camera alternative. Lightfoot specialises in driver coaching and fuel saving. Webfleet adds routing and dispatch for growing SME fleets. Crystal Ball covers dashcam and tracking on a cloud subscription.

For operators who need security alongside tracking, specifically a ghost immobiliser that stops relay and cloned-key theft before it happens, Traknova is the platform Quartix cannot match.
