SmarTrack is one of the leading companies in vehicle trackers in the UK, founded in 2005 and maintaining its presence in the industry. SmarTrack is not just loved by customers but also by professionals in the field. In fact, all SmarTrack trackers are Thatcham-approved, meaning they have been independently tested and approved by the renowned UK organisation.
Over 8 years, SmarTrack won 21 Industry Awards, including the Midlands Enterprise Award in 2022. Part of their appeal is that they use advanced methods to send information to the Secure Global Telemetrics Control Centre, including GPS, GSM and GPRS across all their trackers. All trackers offer 24/7 monitoring and real-time tracking.
