HCSS Integrates with Geotab for Smarter Fleet Data & Next-Gen Telematics

New integration brings users near real-time telematics insights, automated maintenance tracking, and unified visibility for mixed fleets.

If it’s not necessary, it’s costing you money. This includes manual entry.

HCSS has never been a fan of error-prone tasks like manually entering fleet data. Rather than tracking fuel consumption on one screen and maintenance inspections on another, we believe in clean, accurate, automated workflows.

This is why we’ve recently partnered with Geotab and added them to our robust integration marketplace. Fleet costs are growing daily. This strategic partnership brings real-time, on-road vehicle data straight into HCSS Fleet.

Take advantage of clean, automatic, reliable inputs that actually help you run the operation instead of slowing it down. This is about giving you more control, better visibility, and less (costly) equipment downtime.

“Bringing on-road vehicle data from Geotab into HCSS Fleet means less manual work and a much clearer picture of what’s happening across a contractor’s entire fleet. When teams can trust their data and see everything in one place, they can focus on running safer, more efficient operations.”

Who is Geotab?

Geotab is one of the world’s leading providers of connected transportation, video, and asset tracking solutions. In short, it provides you with clear visibility into what your fleet is actually doing, rather than relying solely on assumptions or delayed updates. It is essentially the intelligence layer behind your equipment (your fleet’s brain).

Geotab offers a compact, plug-and-play device (the Geotab GO) that connects directly to your vehicle(s). Once it’s connected, it begins tracking key data points like location, speed, idling, trip distance, and engine performance — all the important details that typically get missed or just plain entered incorrectly.

What does this integration mean for HCSS users?

With Geotab feeding data directly into HCSS Fleet, your trucks, cranes, dozers, and other equipment go from question marks to absolute certainty. They become smart, trackable assets you can actually manage with confidence. This integration adds another layer of intelligent fleet data for our users.

  • Avoid manual entry and mistakes: Hours and mileage update automatically. No spreadsheets. No guesswork. No end-of-week scramble.
  • Stay proactive on maintenance: Real engine data helps trigger alerts before small issues turn into expensive downtime.
  • Keep your fleet on one screen: See your Geotab-connected vehicles right alongside your OEM equipment and HCSS-tracked assets in a single place.
  • Use better data to make better decisions: Cleaner inputs mean tighter job costing, more accurate reporting, and fewer margin surprises.

“The integration with Geotab brings critical vehicle data into HCSS Fleet, giving teams accurate hours, miles, and maintenance triggers without manual work. It’s about turning connected equipment into better decisions.”

Geotab and the HCSS Platform

And the best part about integrations, you don’t need to duct-tape systems together to “make it work.”

All your Geotab data lives inside the HCSS platform right alongside your estimating, field data, and full fleet operations. No need to bounce between tabs. No wondering which numbers are correct/accurate. This integration offers one connected workflow that reflects how your operation runs in the real world.
