Trackmatic Driver: phone tracking and vehicle walk-around checks in one driver app
Your drivers already carry a phone. Trackmatic Driver uses it to record the working shift and to complete the daily vehicle check, so journeys and defects land in the same Trackmatic fleet platform you already use.
Available for supported smartphones and eligible Trackmatic plans. Talk to us about availability for your fleet.
Phone tracking
- The driver taps Start Shift when the working day begins and End Shift when it finishes.
- Location is recorded during the working shift, not around the clock.
- The driver and the vehicle they are using are associated for that shift.
- Journeys appear alongside the rest of your fleet in the Trackmatic platform.
- No separate GPS tracker is needed for eligible phone-tracking use cases.
Driver walk-around checks
- A simple pre-shift vehicle check, using the checklist you configure.
- Mileage entry at the start of the shift.
- Tyres and wheels, lights, mirrors and windows, fluids and anything else you add.
- Each item is marked OK, not applicable, or a defect with a severity.
- Photographs taken on the driver's phone attach to the defect.
- Notes for anything the photo does not explain.
- Your fleet manager reviews completed checks and open defects in the platform.
How it works
What the fleet manager gets
- See who is driving which vehicle during an open shift.
- Journey history attributed to a named driver, not just a vehicle.
- Completed checks with a date, a driver and a vehicle against them.
- Open defects with severity and photographic evidence.
- A record that the check was done - or honestly recorded as skipped where the check is optional.
Who it suits
- Service and trades fleets where the van is the office.
- Delivery and courier operations with shift-based drivers.
- Field-service teams whose engineers use their own vehicles.
- Operations that need a daily vehicle check recorded with evidence, not on paper.
- Fleets running a mix of tracked vehicles and drivers who move between vehicles.

Trackmatic Driver questions
Does the driver need a separate tracker?
For eligible phone-tracking use cases, no - the driver's phone records the shift. Fleets often run both: hardwired trackers on some vehicles and Trackmatic Driver for drivers who move between vehicles. We will tell you which fits your operation.
Is the driver tracked all the time?
No. Recording runs between Start Shift and End Shift, which the driver controls.
Can we use the checks without phone tracking?
Yes. Phone tracking and driver walk-around checks are configured per driver, so you can run either or both.
What happens to a defect?
It is recorded against the driver, the vehicle and that check, with severity, notes and any photographs, and your fleet manager reviews it in the platform.
Which phones are supported?
Trackmatic Driver is available for supported smartphones. Tell us what your drivers carry and we will confirm.
How much is Trackmatic Driver?
Trackmatic Driver is currently available with 3 months free on eligible Trackmatic plans, terms and conditions apply. The right option depends on your fleet, so leave your details and the team will confirm it with you.
