Traknova vs Quartix

Traknova. The gap here is clear. Traknova ships a covert ghost immobiliser that blocks the start sequence unless the driver completes the correct steps or carries an authorised ID tag. A relay attack or cloned key gets a thief into the vehicle, but they cannot drive it away. Remote immobilisation, lock and unlock, and live tracking complete the security stack.

Quartix. Quartix is a tracking platform and does not offer immobilisation. It tells you where your vehicle is after it has been taken, which has value for recovery, but it does not stop the theft happening. For any operator whose primary risk is vehicle theft, that is a real gap.

Quartix. Founded in 2001, listed on the London Stock Exchange, with more than 35,000 customers and 1 million units deployed across the UK, US and Europe. This is a proven business with 25 years of operational history, public accounts and a national install network.

Traknova. Newer and in early growth, named Fleet Management Company of the Year at the Prestige Awards 2025/26. The product is strong, but the track record is shorter. Operators who need the comfort of a long-established supplier will find it more readily with Quartix.

Traknova. The 4G online dashcam records up to five angles per vehicle, road, cabin and rear, with footage stored in the cloud for up to 12 months. TfL-approved for PCO operators. Footage is retrievable even if the camera is damaged, because it has already uploaded. Livestream from anywhere is included.

Quartix. Quartix has a 4G connected dashcam with HD recording, cloud storage and incident detection. It covers the core use case well. Where Traknova leads is angle coverage, cloud retention period and deep integration with the rest of the platform, so footage, tracking and driver scoring are in the same view.

Traknova. Real-time location, trip history, geofencing, driver scoring and AI alerts, all behind one login with the security layer built in.

Quartix. Strong tracking with driver behaviour monitoring, maintenance alerts, geofencing and reporting. Their platform is established and covers the operational ground well. At this level of core fleet operations, both products deliver and the round is an honest draw.

Quartix. Published pricing tiers from £9.99 per vehicle per month make it straightforward to budget before speaking to anyone. InfoPoint for basic tracking, InfoPlus for one-minute intervals and driver scoring, InfoFleet for the full suite. You know what you are comparing before a sales call.

Traknova. Pricing is bespoke to your fleet size, use case and hardware choice, which means you need a quote to compare directly. The all-in price includes security hardware that Quartix does not offer, so the comparison is not like for like, but the process of getting to a number takes longer.

Traknova. Built for exactly this buyer. Theft prevention, TfL-approved cameras, driver scoring, insurance-ready footage and fleet insights on one bill. The ghost immobiliser and driver ID tags are specific answers to the relay and cloned-key threats that disproportionately affect taxi and rental fleets in major UK cities.

Quartix. A capable tracking platform with a strong UK reputation. Where it falls short for this audience is security depth. A taxi or PHV operator whose main daily risk is the vehicle going missing overnight needs immobilisation, not just tracking. Quartix does not close that gap.
