New Zealand's telematics innovator, combining AI, analytics, and advanced GPS to unlock fleet intelligence for over 55,000 drivers daily.
Argus Tracking is an Auckland-based fleet management and telematics company founded in 2007 by Aaron Muir. Originally a GPS vehicle location service, Argus has evolved over nearly two decades into a comprehensive fleet intelligence platform serving businesses of all sizes across New Zealand. The company monitors over 55,000 drivers daily and tracks more than 21 million vehicle positions each week. In June 2022, Argus Tracking was acquired by Banyan Software Inc., a Canadian software holding company. Under new leadership from CEO Andy Patrick, the company has expanded its product suite to include AI-powered dashcams (Argus Vision), automated RUC management (Smart Renew and Smart ERUCs), off-road RUC rebate processing (RUC Collect), and integration with Fleetwise for pool vehicle booking.

Argus serves a broad cross-section of New Zealand businesses from single-vehicle operators to enterprise fleets, with solutions spanning GPS tracking, fleet management, asset tracking, driver safety (including satellite tracking and panic buttons), compliance management, and EV fleet support.
