Vehicle Tracking via Satellite
Monitor your trucks, trains and heavy machinery anywhere on the planet with our satellite-enabled vehicle tracking systems.
Global Fleet Tracking and Telemetry
for Contractors and Rental Companies
Locate Your Fleet Anywhere
Our satellite-enabled devices will track your assets anywhere on Earth, as long as there is a clear view of the sky. Live and historical location data lets you know exactly where your machines and assets are, and where they’ve been.
Monitor Mixed Fleet Health
Whether you’re monitoring heavy machinery, trucks, trains, snowmobiles or mobile generators, our solutions can transmit detailed telemetry data, including fuel consumption, tire pressure, brake wear and other critical systems.
Prevent Theft With Instant Alerts
Get instant alerts if assets start moving outside of schedule. Set up unlimited geofences and control the behavior of your assets when they enter or exit each fence, e.g. speed up or slow down the tracking rate, or send you an alert.
Make Better Informed Decisions
Detailed historical reports allow you to analyze your fleet’s performance, and make changes to utilize your fleet more efficiently. Make sure every asset is where it needs to be, at the right time, saving money and reducing idle time.

Cloudloop Tracking provides companies with precise, real-time visibility of all fleet assets: trucks, trains, heavy machinery, and other vehicles. This enables managers to monitor live locations, speeds, and directions, offering complete oversight at any given moment. Historical tracking data is also available, allowing operators to review past movements for performance evaluations, route optimization, or investigating any irregularities.
Real-time tracking helps improve operational efficiency by ensuring that all assets are used effectively and are on schedule. Managers can quickly detect deviations from planned routes or unauthorized usage, which can help reduce fuel costs, prevent theft, and enhance accountability. Ultimately, having your entire fleet data centralized helps operations run smoothly even when unexpected issues arise.
Global Tracking and Monitoring
Cloudloop Tracking is integrated with satellite-enabled trackers such as the RockFLEET, ensuring that all assets are visible no matter where they are located. With satellite connectivity as a backbone, the platform maintains consistent coverage even in the most remote or unpopulated areas. Some devices also offer dual-mode satellite and cellular capabilities, allowing them to automatically switch to the most cost-effective network without compromising reliability.
This feature is a game-changer for industries like mining, forestry, and logistics, where operations frequently occur outside of traditional cellular coverage. You don’t need to worry about communication blackouts or losing sight of assets during long-haul transportation or remote deployments. Instead, you can focus on optimizing operations, confident that your fleet is always visible and connected.
Map-Based Interface
Cloudloop Tracking provides a versatile, map-based interface that displays assets on a range of mapping views, including satellite imagery, terrain maps, and street views. Users can zoom in to see specific details or zoom out to get a broader overview of their operations, making it easier to manage large, dispersed fleets. This feature ensures that operators have the context they need to make informed decisions about their assets.
The intuitive design of the map interface reduces the learning curve for new users, allowing them to quickly access critical information. Customizable map layers and views further enhance usability, enabling operators to focus on specific areas or assets. For instance, a fleet manager can view only construction sites for monitoring heavy machinery or filter for vehicles currently on the move. This flexibility allows teams to optimize their workflows and respond swiftly to emerging situations.
Unlimited Custom Geofences
Cloudloop Tracking supports the creation of unlimited geofences, enabling managers to define boundaries for each asset or group of assets. These geofences can trigger alerts or automate specific actions when an asset enters or exits a predefined area. This functionality is critical for maintaining control over mixed fleets, as it ensures assets are only operated within their designated areas.
Customizable profiles add another layer of utility to geofencing. For example, an operator can configure alerts to notify them if a truck leaves a route or if heavy machinery enters a restricted area. This level of automation reduces manual monitoring efforts and increases the security of high-value assets. With tailored profiles, companies can adapt the geofencing feature to match the unique needs of their operations, enhancing both safety and efficiency.
Event Tracking and Alerts
Cloudloop Tracking takes asset monitoring a step further by enabling event-based tracking and alerts. These features allow managers to monitor key asset activities, such as vehicle start/stop movements, heavy machinery activation, or other critical events like unauthorized use. Alerts can be fully customized to notify operators of specific situations, such as delayed arrivals, geofence breaches, or abnormal idling times.
In addition to reducing downtime, theft, and other costly disruptions, event-based alerts also enhance safety by enabling rapid responses to emergencies, such as accidents or mechanical failures. For example, if a vehicle leaves a route unexpectedly, the platform can notify managers immediately, helping them investigate and resolve the issue before it escalates.
Robust APIs
If you have your own tracking platform or system, you can utilize our robust and well-documented APIs to integrate the tracking and telemetry data being captured and transmitted by Ground Control trackers.
Cloudloop Data makes this particularly straightforward, with integrated destinations for our trackers’ data, including cloud providers like AWS and Azure, storage facilities like Google Cloud, delivery methods including HTTP Webhook, Email and MQTT, and IoT dashboards.
