- Fleet management
- Material handling
- Security and safety
Fleet management has never been more challenging. The new Onyx V4 telematics tracker is helping rental and construction fleet managers gain fleet insights, increase safety and compliance, and boost operational efficiency.
Managing a mixed industrial fleet has never been more complex, and as a fleet manager, you face these challenges head-on every day.
With assets scattered across job sites, juggling various makes and models, and the ever-present pressure to cut costs and boost efficiency, fleet managers need a solution that simplifies their operations.
Enter the new Onyx V4 telematics tracker—a solution designed to give fleet managers in the rental and construction industries the tools they need to optimise operations, reduce downtime, and keep equipment secure.
Here’s how the Onyx V4 is set to redefine fleet management for rental and construction businesses.
1. Visibility of Your Entire Fleet for Improved Fleet Management
Tracking your fleet is no longer a guessing game.
The Onyx V4 provides GPS tracking and location history for every machine in your fleet.
• Know exactly where your equipment is, reducing time wasted on searching for assets.
• Set up geofences to receive notifications when equipment enters or leaves job sites, enhancing security and preventing theft.
This visibility doesn’t just save time; it cuts costs by eliminating unnecessary equipment rentals or replacements.

Do you know how efficiently your equipment is being used?
The Onyx V4 offers usage data insights that enable you to:
• Identify underutilised machines and optimise fleet composition.
• Make data-driven decisions to invest in or retire equipment, saving money and maximising ROI.
With these insights, you can ensure every machine in your fleet contributes to your bottom line.
3. Proactive Maintenance and Reduced Downtime
Reactive maintenance is a thing of the past.
The Onyx V4 leverages CAN-data insights to monitor equipment health in real-time.
• Schedule maintenance based on actual machine usage rather than static timelines.
• Detect potential issues before they become costly problems, minimising unexpected breakdowns and downtime.
Fleet managers can now extend equipment lifespan while reducing repair costs.

The Onyx V4 is more than a tracker—it’s a safety tool.
Features like access management and impact reporting ensure that:
• Only authorised personnel operate your equipment.
• Fleet managers receive immediate notifications about impacts, enabling quick responses to incidents.
These features not only improve safety but also have the potential to lower liability and insurance costs in the long run.
5. Seamless Integration with Your Systems
One of the biggest challenges for mixed fleets is integrating data from various machines and systems.
The Onyx V4 solves this problem with its GemOne Cloud platform:
• Consolidate data from all machines, regardless of make or model (or whether it’s an Onyx V4 tracker or a tracker from another telematics provider).
• Integrate seamlessly with ERP systems, rental planning software, invoicing tools, and service applications.
This unified platform ensures a smoother workflow and faster decision-making.
Why the Onyx V4 Stands Out
The Onyx V4 is specifically designed for the demands of mixed rental and construction fleets:
→ Dual-CAN support: Access detailed data like operating hours, fuel levels, and error codes.
→ High voltage compatibility: Handles up to 97V DC, ensuring compatibility with heavy-duty equipment.
→ Robust design: Built to withstand tough industrial conditions with IP67 dust and water resistance.
→ 4G LTE connectivity: Offers reliable global coverage with 2G fallback.
With more than 100,000 assets already connected globally, GemOne’s system is set to help fleet managers worldwide to deliver results for their businesses based on actionable fleet insights.

Telematics is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity for staying competitive in today’s rental and construction markets.
