Overview

Smartrak is a Hamilton-founded fleet management, telematics, and safety technology company serving government, utilities, healthcare, education, and community services across New Zealand and Australia. Founded in 2006 with the vision of building a superior GPS fleet management solution for the Australasian market, the company grew steadily for a decade before being acquired by Volaris Group (a subsidiary of Constellation Software Inc.) in March 2017. Since the acquisition, Smartrak has continued to grow through both organic development and strategic acquisitions, including the 2019 purchase of PoolCar (a vehicle booking platform) and the assets of Lingo Systems in Australia. The company has positioned itself as a leader in electric vehicle fleet management through its Nextrak EV telematics platform and Priority Charging solution, and is an appointed provider on New Zealand's All of Government (AoG) Fleet Management Services panel. Smartrack's client base includes prominent public sector organisations such as Kaipara District Council, Plunket (500+ vehicles), and Meridian Energy. The company is a Drive Electric Corporate Member and an IPWEA Fleet Sustainability Partner, reflecting its strategic focus on sustainable transport and EV transition.
