Its RUC-related services include Smart Renew for automated RUC and registration purchasing through an Argus–Fleetwise integration, Smart eRUC digital displays, and RUC Collect for calculating off-road use and preparing NZTA RUCOR refund forms.

Founder and former owner
Founded Argus Tracking in 2007 and sold the business to Banyan Software in 2022.
Argus Tracking markets three RUC-management products. Smart Renew triggers RUC purchases at configured distance thresholds through an Argus–Fleetwise integration. Smart eRUC combines automated purchasing with a solar-powered digital windscreen display that Argus says is NZTA-approved. RUC Collect uses GPS data to calculate off-road use and prepare NZTA's electronic RUCOR refund form. These services support purchasing, display, status monitoring and refund preparation, but NZTA's public provider list does not identify Argus itself as an approved electronic-system or electronically assisted RUC provider.
In June 2022, Canadian software holding company Banyan Software acquired Argus Tracking. At the time of acquisition, Argus had approximately 500 customers and over 10,000 connected assets across New Zealand and Australia. Founder Aaron Muir departed after 15 years building the company.
Following the Banyan acquisition, Andy Patrick took over as CEO in 2023. Under new leadership, Argus deepened its partnership with global telematics giant Geotab, integrating the Geotab GO9 hardware platform to deliver high-precision GPS fleet tracking across New Zealand.
