Zetifi has announced a strategic partnership with global connected vehicle technology leader Geotab, marking a significant step forward for connected fleet safety in Australia.

The collaboration brings together Zetifi’s specialist connectivity and safety technology for vehicles operating beyond reliable network coverage with Geotab’s advanced telematics platform, delivering clear, evidence-based visibility into driver behaviour for Australian organisations.

Through the partnership, fleets will gain access to actionable safety insights—including speed, braking, acceleration, and cornering performance—enabling businesses to better understand how vehicles are being operated, identify risk areas, and strengthen safety outcomes.

Designed to support objective safety assessments and risk management, the combined solution provides defensible, data-driven insights that help protect drivers while supporting compliance and governance obligations for businesses and directors

Founded to solve connectivity challenges in regional and remote Australia, Zetifi embeds GNSS, onboard compute, and connectivity directly into its Smart Antennas. 

This enables reliable data capture at the edge and seamless integration with telematics, radios, and enterprise systems, turning everyday fleet activity into safety alerts, operational insights, and documented evidence for worker safety and governance.

“Connected fleet safety is about visibility and proof,” said Dan Winson, CEO of Zetifi. “Business owners and directors carry real responsibility for how vehicles are used at work.

“By combining radio-based safety features with one of the world’s leading telematics platforms, we’re helping organisations understand risk, improve behaviour, and demonstrate that safety controls are operating in practice.” he said.

Geotab is a global leader in connected vehicle solutions, supporting fleets across government, transport, utilities, and commercial sectors in Australia and worldwide.

Its open platform enables partners to extend telematics data beyond dashboards and into operational systems that improve safety, efficiency, and sustainability.

“Australian businesses face rising pressure to show active lone worker safety management,” said David Brown, Associate Vice President of Geotab, APAC.

“We are pleased to welcome Zetifi to our network of partners. Zetifi brings two-way radio-based capabilities such as duress, lone worker check-ins and man-down into an organisation’s existing telematics system and workflows,” said Brown

“That approach can add safety capability without the unnecessary complexity of layering in separate duress-specific platforms, while still supporting data-backed decisions to reduce incidents and protect people and business,” he said.

The partnership is already live, with two Connected Fleet Safety pilots deployed in Australia and an entry-level offering available immediately.

A broader national rollout will focus on industries with elevated vehicle and remote-worker risk, including agriculture, mining, utilities, construction, transport, and local government.

Zetifi will deliver Connected Fleet Safety as a managed service, providing structured alerts, regular reporting, and board-ready evidence packs to support ongoing safety oversight.
