Why fleets connect Jimi IoT to Traknova
Jimi IoT trackers are reliable, affordable and widely deployed across UK fleets. The problem is the software that comes with them was not built for fleet operators who need proper reporting, driver scoring and geofencing on top of basic location data. Many operators find themselves logging into Jimi's own portal for tracking and using spreadsheets or separate tools for everything else. Traknova gives you a proper fleet management layer on top of the hardware you already have.
What you get
Keep your Jimi IoT hardware
No new devices. Register your existing Jimi tracker IMEIs in Traknova and redirect the data endpoint. Live data starts flowing into your account within minutes.
Live tracking on a unified map
See every Jimi-tracked vehicle in real time on one map alongside any other devices in your Traknova account. Filter by vehicle group, driver or status.
Automatic trip logging
Every trip is captured automatically with GPS start and end points, distance, duration and speed profile. No manual input from drivers required.
Driver behaviour monitoring
Harsh braking, rapid acceleration and sharp cornering events from your Jimi devices feed into driver scorecards in Traknova. Build a clear picture of driver risk across your fleet.
Geofences and zone alerts
Set up zones for depots, customer sites or off-limits areas. Receive an alert when a vehicle enters or exits. Geofences work identically with Jimi devices and any other hardware in your account.
Mixed-hardware fleet support
If you run Jimi IoT trackers alongside other brands, they all appear together in Traknova. One platform for the whole fleet regardless of hardware mix.

Jimi IoT fleet management FAQs
Yes. Traknova supports Jimi IoT GPS trackers including VL series and other protocol-compatible models. You keep the hardware installed in your vehicles. The only change is redirecting the data endpoint in your Jimi configuration to the Traknova receiver address.
Jimi IoT makes a wide range of GPS trackers that are popular across UK fleets for their reliability and price point. The Traknova integration is a server-side connection: redirect the data endpoint in your Jimi device configuration and the hardware you already own becomes part of a proper fleet management platform.
Jimi IoT fleet management software through Traknova is particularly useful for operators who have grown their Jimi hardware estate over time but found the native Jimi platform limiting. Traknova adds the driver behaviour layer, proper geofencing, automated trip reports and DVLA compliance checks that most fleet operators need.
If you are looking to keep your Jimi trackers but want a better platform to run them on, Traknova is the straightforward answer.
