Will my device connect to your platform? – this is one of the most important questions to clarify before subscribing to any fleet management solution. Given the competitive and fast-paced nature of today’s business world, losing time and money because of compatibility issues is a luxury companies can’t afford.

No matter what devices you’re using, we can integrate them seamlessly. With Mapon and flespi, compatibility issues are a thing of the past – read on to learn how we achieve this.

Mapon Focuses on Leading Devices

As a fleet management software provider, Mapon focuses on native support for high-performing, well-known telematics devices. We guarantee that our platform will integrate smoothly with devices produced by the following manufacturers:

  • Teltonika
  • Queclink
  • Ruptela
  • Suntech
  • Digital Matter

These manufacturers were specifically selected due to the diverse features and use cases their devices provide, ensuring that we meet a wide range of client needs. We also recommend our versatile in-house device, Mapon Expert. Its broad range of features suits both typical and tailored use cases.

But what if you use niche devices from smaller brands? Thanks to our integration with flespi, you can still use the Mapon platform and enjoy the full functionality of our fleet management solutions.

Flespi Bridges the Gap

Flespi serves as a bridge between Mapon and devices that our platform does not support natively.

It provides unified data communication via REST API, regardless of the device’s protocol. The data from your telematics device is then stored in the standardised JSON format. 

Why flespi?

Flespi is a versatile back-end platform for telematics that allows companies to connect and control a variety of devices.

From fleets of large vehicles to micro-mobility options like scooters and bikes, flespi offers a flexible and scalable solution for monitoring and tracking assets.

With its extensive support for telematics devices from over 150 manufacturers, flespi ensures seamless integration and reliable data collection.

Whether you’re in fleet management, stationary asset monitoring, or usage-based insurance, flespi provides the tools you need to connect almost any device and collect data for your business operations.

Key Benefits of the Mapon-flespi Integration

  • Flexibility Without Complexity: With flespi, the Mapon platform can support a wide range of devices without extra time or financial investment from clients or our developers.
  • Comprehensive Solution: Clients can rely on the Mapon platform for industry-standard device support, while flespi ensures that data from most other devices flows smoothly and consistently as well, filling the gap for clients who utilise a wide range of devices.
  • Scalability and Future-Proofing: As clients grow or add different types of devices, they can rely on flespi for seamless integration without requiring Mapon to develop new protocols for each new device they adopt.
