Frequently asked

The questions buyers ask about Sensium.

Common questions about Sensium. For council-specific questions see Local Government & Councils, and the FAQ page for the full set.

Question 01

What does Sensium do?

Sensium is an Australian fleet telematics company that designs and manufactures its TRACKbox hardware in Australia. We design and manufacture the TRACKbox GPS tracking hardware in Australia and write the Sensium Connect+ fleet management software in-house. Customers are local councils, state and federal government, utilities, mining, agriculture, and logistics fleets across Australia and New Zealand.

Question 02

Is Sensium Australian-owned?

Yes. Sensium is Australian-owned, and its TRACKbox hardware is Australian-Made certified. Founded in New Zealand in 2005, headquartered in Brisbane since 2011, with offices in both countries. Sensium sits on the Local Government Procurement Fleet Management Services panel for the AU council sector. The major foreign-owned competitors in this region are Geotab (Canadian), Teletrac Navman (US-owned by Fortive), and Powerfleet / MiX / Fleet Complete (US).

Question 03

Where is Sensium fleet data stored?

All customer data - Australian and New Zealand - is hosted on Australian servers. Encrypted in transit and at rest. Role-based access control. Audit logs that satisfy procurement scrutiny.

Question 04

What hardware does Sensium use to track vehicles and assets?

Sensium designs and manufactures the TRACKbox family in Australia. The TB2 is the hard-wired in-vehicle workhorse for powered vehicles. The TB3 is a sealed, battery-powered unit for non-powered assets such as trailers, generators, and plant. TRACKbox 4 adds Direct-to-Cell satellite and LoRa alongside 4G LTE for fleets working past cellular coverage. All three report into one Sensium Connect+ dashboard.

Question 05

How long do Sensium devices last?

TRACKbox hardware is designed for ten-plus year deployment, carries a three-year warranty, and is RCM certified. Some devices are still in service after seventeen years. The total cost of ownership is materially better when the hardware lasts the life of the vehicle rather than being replaced every three years on a churn cycle.

Question 06

What can Sensium Connect+ do?

Sensium Connect+ covers live mapping, trip history and replay, geofencing with entry and exit alerts, pool vehicle booking with RFID handover, mixed EV and ICE fleet management, driver behaviour monitoring with scorecards, dashboards, and data export to CSV or PDF. It also offers a documented API and enterprise integration with tools such as Power BI, GIS, and ERP systems.

Question 07

Does Sensium work where there is no mobile coverage?

Yes. TRACKbox 4 combines 4G LTE with Direct-to-Cell satellite and is built to fail over automatically where the service is available. Direct-to-Cell is live in New Zealand and rolling out in Australia where supported by network availability and plan configuration, with Iridium satellite available for remote Australian coverage today. Where a vehicle is offline, the device stores telemetry and forwards it once a signal returns.

Question 08

Does Sensium offer lone-worker safety features?

Yes. Every in-vehicle TRACKbox has a panic / duress button that triggers a back-to-base alert with the vehicle location. A LoRa-tethered duress pendant extends protection to a worker up to around five kilometres from the vehicle - built for lone workers operating away from the cab.

Question 09

Is there a mobile app for Sensium?

Yes. Sensium offers two free apps - Connect+ and Driver Connect - on both iOS and Android, so fleet visibility and trip information are available on a phone, not just at a desktop.

Question 10

Which industries does Sensium serve?

Sensium serves local councils, state and federal government, utilities (distribution, water, gas, telecoms), mining, agriculture, and logistics and transport fleets across Australia and New Zealand. The same platform runs enterprise, government, and rural fleets.
