Nine months after Zonar’s merger with GPS Trackit, Zonar has launched Ignition, a next-generation cloud-based fleet management platform designed to replace fragmented legacy systems with unified, real-time insights.
Zonar Ignition helps fleets maximize uptime, reduce costs, and respond to challenges faster through three core features that the company said represent a modern fleet management platform:
Integration-Ready: Built on a flexible framework, the cloud-based Ignition platform seamlessly integrates Zonar data with third-party data sources. An open API, combined with the ability to build sophisticated artificial intelligence modules, offers a more customizable and efficient experience.
One Screen, Total Control: Ignition consolidates and displays all crucial fleet and third-party data on one screen. A single-pane-of-glass view allows operators to assess the status of vehicles, drivers, and assets in real time on a single high-resolution map, rather than navigating through tabs to collect insights.
Actionable Insights, Real-Time Results: Through Zonar’s hardware, Ignition aggregates data from the telematics control unit, compliance solutions, driver behavior monitoring systems, and third-party systems into personalized reports. Interactive dashboards show key performance indicators, including fuel usage, route efficiency and safety events, and enable drill-downs.
More than 30 detailed reports and personalized dashboards are available in Zonar Ignition.
From real-time KPIs and granular driver and vehicle data, to live alerts on speeding, idling, or off-route activity, Ignition diagnostics help improve safety and efficiency while increasing uptime with scheduled maintenance and preemptive alerts.

"For too long fleet managers have had to choose between clunky workflows or unreliable data when managing drivers, vehicles and other critical business assets," said Charles Kriete, CEO, Zonar, in a news release.
"We saw a clear need for something faster, smarter and more efficient.
“With Ignition, we’ve brought together the best of Zonar and GPS Trackit to give fleets a single window into unified workflows and manage all aspects of vehicles, drivers and assets.”
By uniting Zonar’s telematics expertise with GPS Trackit’s scalable platform, the company is accelerating cloud-based fleet visibility, analytics, and AI-driven insights.
Ignition also integrates with Zonar’s proprietary technologies, including EVIR for electronic vehicle inspection reports, CARB (California Air Resource Board) tools for emissions compliance, and Zonar Coach for driver safety coaching.
