During the pandemic, the company made a revenue growth of more than 150% compared to the previous season.

Product excellence
The majority of their revenue stream comes from subscription fees for the Fleet Management System usage and other complementary and supporting applications such as Transportation Management System, Employee Tracking, Vehicle Maintenance and Driver Management. In addition, the company also earns revenue from software sales (GPS equipment and sensors) as well as development projects.
TransTRACK.ID also provides accident compensation (without additional costs) for customers whose vehicles are equipped, amounting to a maximum of IDR 50 million per person in the event of death, permanent disability, and medical expenses of a maximum of IDR 5 million per person. This compensation applies to 1 driver and 1 passenger, regardless of identity, who was in the vehicle at the time of the accident.
“Our platform is very flexible and capable for integration with more than 1000 types of GPS devices on the market, easy to adapt to customer needs, easy to integrate with other systems, multiple alerts and notifications either via SMS, push notifications on mobile apps, browsers, and windows, also via email in real time, multiple reports, and multiple users with access rights,” Anggia said.
Fleet telematics platform potential
Currently, the number of land vehicles in Indonesia has reached more than 150 million units, and the logistics market in Indonesia is very large. It is predicted to reach $300.3 billion by 2024. The need for fleet telematics is increasing.
It is based on the need to track and monitor vehicle usage, drivers, and safety. Government regulations, in this case the Ministry of Transportation, have issued regulations through PP no. KP.2081/AJ.801/DRJD/2019 which requires the use of GPS for all public transportation operators to monitor operations and improve efficiency.
However, according to a survey conducted by the Indonesian Telematics Equipment Industry Association, the use of GPS tracking on public transport in Indonesia is still less than 10%, or less than 2% of the total number of vehicles in Indonesia. This shows that there is still huge potential for the growth of fleet telematics technology services in Indonesia, such as the services offered by the TransTRACK.ID platform.
