“The customer’s problem is at the center .” With this premise, Numaris , a Mexican company specializing in comprehensive fleet management solutions, is redefining the technology services it offers users to optimize their operations in the trucking industry, ranging from real-time monitoring to smart cameras .

The firm’s most sophisticated development is the PVHM system, which processes up to 250 different unit variables in real time . Unlike traditional systems that only report what has already happened, Numaris’ model is predictive, allowing fleets to anticipate and plan major maintenance with a pre-classification of risk, as well as a summary of detected issues, prescriptions, and recommendations for actions to take. This proactively prevents eventualities that could halt the flow of goods and expose the operator and cargo to unnecessary risks.

In an interview with T21, José Antonio Alonso Granja, CEO of Traffilog , a heavy transport and advanced solutions company that is part of Numaris, indicated that this technology plays a crucial role in safety.

In addition to monitoring the location, their systems provide tools such as a panic button and remote safe engine shutdown , without exposing the operator, since it does not perform an abrupt ignition cut, but rather cancels the accelerator, allowing the unit to gradually stop and then come to a complete stop.

Additionally, the software also identifies potential fuel thefts , based on the percentage of sudden drop in fuel level, with the ability to map and analyze the points where this situation occurs.

For the operator, Numaris offers an identification system that rates driving habits in real time using a simple color scheme (green, orange, red). This immediate feedback promotes more efficient and safer vehicle operation. The data collected on speed, braking, acceleration, and idling is essential for customers seeking to improve fuel efficiency and reduce vehicle wear.

Overview and vision of Numaris

The trucking and logistics sector in Mexico is seen as having great growth potential, driven by the need for efficiency and safety, according to the executive.

Numaris, as a 100% Mexican company, is making steady and competitive progress through a deep understanding of the local market and the country’s challenges. More than 20% of its staff are development engineers , ensuring a rapid response and the continuous improvement of its products and services.

The reliability it offers its customers has led the company to establish strategic alliances with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), integrating its telemetry devices from the factory into the units sold.

With a team of over 400 people dedicated to service, Numaris stands out for its ability to respond to and resolve events as they occur, offering a robust support service.

According to José Antonio Alonso Granja, Numaris focuses its developments on three lines of business: freight transport, passenger transport (public and personal) and the comprehensive management of the supply chain .

In their view, the cargo segment is not uniform; therefore, the firm seeks to offer tailored solutions that integrate hardware , software , and Artificial Intelligence (AI) models . The goal is for clients to be able to make immediate decisions based on real-time data, transforming alerts into concrete actions.

“The core of Numaris’ offering for freight transport lies in improving delivery productivity. Its advanced technology allows for real-time monitoring of critical variables: from cargo box capacity and speed, to loading and unloading times, and adherence to the planned route,” the executive emphasized.

Projections and year-end closing

By 2026, Numaris aims to focus on evolving its offerings to develop specific solutions, with a greater emphasis on prevention and prediction. This includes cargo temperature monitoring and advanced positioning to prevent roadside incidents, such as roadblocks or areas with high rates of cargo theft, before the truck is at risk. The goal is clear: to use data and AI to help companies make better decisions in their control towers .

The factor that distinguishes Numaris from its competitors is its 25 years of experience and the flexibility to innovate hand in hand with its clients.

“We are not afraid to develop specific configurations for each client, with whom we maintain a long-term relationship, surprising them with development response times that can be measured in days or hours. The client’s problem is, in essence, Numaris’s problem, driving its vision and the continuous evolution of its tools,” concluded José Antonio Alonso.

PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Q. ROO.- Fleet management in Mexico is undergoing a period of accelerated transformation . Managing a fleet is no longer synonymous with having operators and trucks in circulation; today, it’s about managing data, anticipating failures with Artificial Intelligence (AI), and accelerating the transition to clean energy.

Within the framework of Top Flotillas  and  LOGEX  2025, Jesús Guajardo, Regional Sales Director North East and West of Element Fleet , stated that the evolution of the sector is reflected in the growth of the company in Mexico, since eight years ago it managed around 20 thousand units , a figure that today amounts to nearly 150 thousand , which consolidates the firm as a benchmark in comprehensive solutions for fleets.

“Managing a fleet isn’t just about purchasing vehicles; it’s about ensuring they’re in compliance, maintaining them, supplying them with fuel or energy, and, above all, leveraging data to turn them into a strategic asset for the company,” he said during the Element Fleet and the Transformation of Fleet Management conference .

The executive listed the main challenges that companies face in this area , from financial to renew fleet, administrative , technological and operational .

“A vehicle isn’t an investment, unless your business is transportation; in most cases, it’s a depreciable expense. Therefore, the key is to allocate resources to the true generator of value and find efficiencies in fleet operations,” he explained.

One of the highlights of the presentation was the role of AI , where Guajardo shared that he even used this technology to prepare his presentation, convinced that those who know how to ask the right questions can obtain answers that transform decision-making.

“It’s said that data is the new oil, and it’s true: those who interpret and use it strategically can save millions of pesos. At Element Fleet, we integrate AI into our processes to simplify operations and anticipate problems,” he noted.

The company has developed a consultative approach that supports businesses from vehicle acquisition to vehicle remarketing , including regulatory compliance, maintenance programs, and route optimization.

The path to sustainability

Sustainability was another central focus of his participation. According to Guajardo, the transition to clean energy “is no longer an issue of the future, but an obligation of the present . “

“Eighty percent of products in Mexico are transported on wheels. If we manage to gradually migrate to clean energy, we can have a huge positive impact on the country and the planet,” he emphasized.

Element Fleet’s commitment focuses on combining innovation, digitalization, and sustainability to make fleets more strategic and less of an inevitable expense.

“We don’t promise that all problems will disappear when you become an Element customer, but we do guarantee that we work hand in hand to find solutions and make each fleet more efficient and productive,” Guajardo emphasized.

QUERÉTARO, QRO.- GO9 is a telematics device that transforms the way fleets are managed by converting each kilometer traveled into useful information, evidence for decision-making, and tools for prevention, according to Carlos Barrera, Business Development Manager Latam at Geotab .

As part of the company’s 25th anniversary globally , Barrera commented that the device is installed in the units without altering their electronics, thanks to its plug & play system connected to the diagnostic port.

GO9 is capable of reading engine status, identifying errors, tracking location in real time, and generating alerts for risky events, such as sudden braking or excessive speed, Barrera explained.

All of this is transmitted directly to the MyGeotab platform (a real-time fleet management platform ), from where fleet managers can view each event without leaving the office, he emphasized.

He explained that the device not only helps detect dangerous driving habits , but also facilitates the implementation of safety, sustainability, and regulatory compliance policies in Mexico.

“What we’re looking for is for companies to make decisions based on data, not assumptions,” Barrera said.

The MyGeotab platform (also available as an app for Android and iOS) allows you to schedule reports, receive automatic notifications, track maintenance, and even calculate carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions to support clean fleet initiatives.

Additionally, it includes an Artificial Intelligence (AI) dash cam capable of detecting cell phone use, lack of seatbelt use, driver fatigue, or distractions, providing visual evidence for training or liability assessments, Barrera said.

“Today, we don’t just measure location and speed. We measure productivity, efficiency, and safety. We can tell if a vehicle is stopped with the engine running, how much fuel it’s consuming, or when it might break down if not repaired in time,” he explained.

Without specifying figures, Barrera stated that the technology applied in Geotab has significantly reduced accidents, due to prediction and prevention strategies .

As part of its strategy to bring technology to new audiences, Geotab also began a collaboration with professional driver Majo Rodríguez, whom it sponsors in the tractor-trailer category. This partnership seeks to demonstrate that innovation can be applied both in competition environments and in real-life transport operations.

Barrera indicated that the company has a presence in more than 160 countries and already owns more than 4.7 million connected vehicles worldwide . Its technology already supports critical decisions across fleets of different sizes and sectors, helping to prevent accidents, reduce costs, and improve efficiency every day.

For many companies, talking about digital transformation still refers to warehouses or administrative processes , but in transportation, fleet digitalization has become a critical tool for improving road safety, optimizing costs, and attracting talent that is currently scarce in the sector.

“Five years ago, we still found fleets operating without GPS, blindly. Today, telemetry, video, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions are essential. It’s no longer enough to know where the truck is, but how it’s being driven and what opportunities there are for improvement,” explained Luis Daniel Gómez, Senior Sales Manager at Webfleet .

According to Gómez, one of the main barriers remains resistance to change. For example, companies that still rely on phone calls or WhatsApp tracking lack real visibility into what’s happening with their units.

“There are companies that say, ‘I’ve been operating like this for 30 years and I don’t have any problems.’ But in reality, they’re missing out on savings opportunities and exposing themselves to unnecessary risks,” he warned.

Contrary to popular belief, safety and productivity are not mutually exclusive . Gómez explained that an employee who feels cared for, who knows their workday is well managed, and that there are tools to protect them, will be more loyal, efficient, and likely to remain with the company.

In a context where the operator shortage is critical, retaining talent has become a priority.

In addition, digitalization also helps meet environmental goals , with tools to measure carbon footprints and make decisions based on real emissions data.

In this sense, Webfleet solutions allow real-time monitoring of driving habits: harsh acceleration, braking, sharp turns, fuel consumption, and even the time a vehicle remains idling.

“With this data, the client can identify drivers engaging in risky behavior, train them, and prevent accidents,” he said.

One of the most powerful advances has been the incorporation of AI cameras .

These can detect distractions such as cell phone use, not wearing seatbelts, unsafe lane changes, and even signs of drowsiness. The camera issues alerts in the cabin and also notifies the fleet manager.

Gómez shared the case of a client whose operator was involved in a fatal accident caused by a third party.

“Thanks to the video evidence, it was possible to prove that the operator was not at fault. This not only freed him from legal consequences, but also confirmed the value of having technology that protects lives,” he said.

The trends for the immediate future are driven by Artificial Intelligence. Webfleet is already working on a new phase of its platform with virtual assistants that will allow users to view key data such as the vehicle with the highest fuel consumption or the most kilometers traveled through conversational bots like ChatGPT .

Technologies are also being developed to identify operators using cards, and cameras’ ability to detect real drowsiness, not just distractions, is being improved.

“This is no longer science fiction. The technology is already here, and fleets that don’t jump on the digitalization bandwagon will be at a disadvantage. We are here to support them in this process,” emphasized Luis Daniel Gómez.
