There is not a day where I don't hear or read about Telematics and Fleet Managament. The benefits of increased productivity, theft control, service maintenance, trouble shooting possibilities and mobile functionality are all good reasons. There is a great article about Key Telematics Decisions | Construction Equipment saying that people talk about Telematics for such a long time now and that it is time to make a decision how to best implement it in 2014.

Obstacles haven't changed much from having mixed fleets with different Telematic systems to the point what makes sense to track and benefit from.

Are there even different requirements in different countries? How popular are these systems around the globe and why or why not?
