Why fleets connect Coban to Traknova
Coban trackers offer GPS tracking at a very accessible price point, which is why they are common across smaller UK fleets. The native software gives you basic location data but lacks the management features operators actually need as their fleet grows. Driver scoring, automated reporting, proper geofencing and compliance tools are all missing. Traknova provides those capabilities on top of the Coban hardware you already have.
