Why fleets connect Ruptela to Traknova
Operators running Ruptela hardware often find the native platform works well at the device level but does not give them the fleet management features they actually need. Driver behaviour scoring is limited, reporting takes too long to build, and geofencing lacks flexibility. If you have a mixed-hardware fleet, you end up managing separate platforms for different device brands. Traknova connects to your Ruptela trackers and gives you a unified dashboard for the whole fleet.
What you get
Keep your Ruptela hardware
No new devices to buy. Register your Ruptela device IMEIs in Traknova and forward data from the Ruptela server. Live position data appears in your Traknova dashboard within minutes.
Unified fleet view
Ruptela devices appear alongside any other hardware brands in your Traknova account. One map, one set of reports, one place to manage the whole fleet regardless of what tracker is in each vehicle.
Automatic trip logging
Trips are captured and logged automatically with start and end points, duration, distance and speed profile. No manual driver input. Trip data is searchable and exportable for any date range.
Driver behaviour and scoring
Harsh events from your Ruptela trackers feed into driver scorecards in Traknova. Identify high-risk drivers across the fleet and track improvement over time with consistent scoring.
Geofences and zone alerts
Define zones around sites, customers or restricted areas. Alerts fire when a vehicle enters or exits. Works identically with Ruptela and any other hardware connected to your account.
Scheduled compliance reports
Schedule reports to run automatically for mileage, trip history, driver scores and geofence activity. Send them to managers or customers without manual intervention each time.

- 2Log in to your Ruptela server management panel with admin credentials.
- 3In the data forwarding or server routing settings, add the Traknova data endpoint as a forwarding destination.
- 4Save the settings. Live data from your Ruptela devices will begin flowing into Traknova within a few minutes.
- 5Configure geofences, alerts and scheduled reports in Traknova to start managing the fleet immediately.
Built for Logistics operators, Car rental companies, Car dealerships
Logistics companies use Ruptela fleet management in Traknova to track route compliance, manage driver performance and produce accurate mileage records for customer invoicing and internal cost management.
Car rental operators with Ruptela hardware use Traknova to monitor vehicle utilisation, verify rental returns with odometer data and catch unauthorised use outside booking windows.
Dealerships with Ruptela-equipped demonstrator and courtesy fleets use Traknova to know where every vehicle is, track mileage and get instant alerts if a vehicle leaves a defined zone after hours.
Ruptela fleet management FAQs
Yes. Traknova connects to Ruptela GPS trackers via server-level data forwarding. You register your device IMEIs in Traknova and configure the Ruptela server to forward data to the Traknova endpoint. No changes are needed to the physical devices.
Ruptela makes solid GPS trackers that are popular across logistics and rental fleets in the UK. The Traknova integration works at the server level: you configure data forwarding from your Ruptela server to the Traknova endpoint, and from that point all your Ruptela-tracked vehicles appear in the Traknova dashboard alongside any other hardware you run.
The most common reason operators switch to Traknova for Ruptela fleet management software is consolidation. If you have grown a Ruptela estate over several years and now also run vehicles with other tracker brands, managing everything from one Traknova dashboard is significantly simpler than juggling multiple platforms.
Traknova gives you proper driver scoring, flexible geofencing, automatic trip logging and scheduled reports on top of the Ruptela tracking data you already have. Keep your hardware, improve your platform.
