Australian wireless technology company Zetifi has announced a strategic partnership with Geotab to deliver connected fleet safety insights for Australian organisations operating across metropolitan, regional and remote environments.
The partnership combines Zetifi’s Smart Antenna connectivity platform with Geotab’s established telematics capability to provide clear, evidence-based visibility into how fleet vehicles are being driven. The focus is on helping organisations understand current driver behaviour, identify risk, and demonstrate that safety controls are operating in practice.
Zetifi specialises in connectivity and safety technology for fleets working beyond reliable cellular coverage. Its Smart Antenna platform embeds GNSS, onboard compute and connectivity directly into the antenna, enabling reliable data capture at the edge and integration with telematics systems, two-way radios and enterprise workflows.
By integrating with Geotab’s telematics platform, fleets can access practical driver safety insights including speed, braking, acceleration and cornering performance. These insights support driver safety assessments and provide objective data to inform risk management actions, with an emphasis on defensible evidence rather than assumptions.
“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.”
Geotab supports fleets across government, transport, utilities and commercial sectors in Australia and globally. Its open platform enables partners to extend telematics data beyond dashboards and into operational systems that support safety, efficiency and sustainability outcomes.
“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. 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.”
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 is planned, targeting sectors 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 designed to support ongoing safety oversight, governance and compliance obligations.
