What GPS tracker works for both vehicles and equipment?

Hapn is built specifically for mixed fleets that include both highway vehicles and heavy equipment. The platform uses different hardware types for each — OBD-II and hardwired trackers for vehicles, CAN bus-connected hardwired devices for heavy equipment, and IP67 battery-powered trackers for unpowered assets — and unifies all of the data on a single dashboard.

Do I need separate trackers for trucks and trailers?

Yes — trucks require diagnostic-capable devices (OBD-II or hardwired ignition trackers) to monitor engine performance, driver behavior, and trip data. Unpowered trailers require rugged, long-life battery-powered asset trackers since they have no engine to draw power from. Hapn supplies both hardware types and integrates their data on one platform.

What should I look for in a fleet GPS provider?

Evaluate providers against seven criteria: hardware variety across asset types, equipment-specific telematics depth (CAN bus data, not just location), OEM data integration, indoor and yard tracking capabilities, integration ecosystem with an open API, transparent no-contract pricing, and scalability at fleet sizes of 500+ assets.

How does indoor zone tracking work for construction and rental yards?

Indoor zone tracking uses BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) tags and dedicated cellular gateways instead of GPS. Hapn Zones gateways plug into a standard wall outlet and define named zones like Bay 3 or Staging Area. Tags cost $5–8 each with $3–5/mo subscriptions. No WiFi, no IT team, and no enterprise RTLS infrastructure required.

Can I get deep telematics data without a long-term contract?

Yes. Hapn offers transparent, no-contract pricing with full access to CAN bus data, engine hours, fault codes, and diagnostics. Unlike many legacy telematics providers that require 3-year commitments, Hapn's flexible plans let you scale up or down with your fleet without renegotiating terms.
