Ultra Switch

Unhappy with your supplier? You’re not locked in.

Most fleets stay with a telematics provider they’ve outgrown because switching looks expensive and disruptive. Ultra Switch removes both objections: change the platform first, keep the hardware, transition at your pace.

Why fleets feel trapped

The switching problem

Hardware you’ve already paid for. Installation downtime across thousands of vehicles. Years of data held in the incumbent’s portal. Each one is a reason to stay put; together they look like a lock-in. None of them survives a change of approach.

The Ultra Switch path

Four stages, no cliff edge

01

Onboard what you have

Your current supplier’s data feed is integrated into Ultra Reporting, so managers and drivers move to Ultra dashboards immediately. In parallel, the incumbent is renegotiated onto a data-only tariff.

02

Assess your options

Every vehicle is checked for OEM data capability and alternative providers, so the transition plan is built on what each vehicle actually supports.

03

Switch gradually

New vehicles arrive on OEM connections or new hardware. Existing devices keep running until each vehicle transitions. The old supplier is phased out behind the fleet, not ahead of it.

04

Business as usual

One platform, ongoing support, and supplier decisions you can revisit any time without repeating the pain.

The switch that pays for itself

Moving the incumbent to a data-only fee typically releases enough saving to fund the Ultra platform. No hardware write-off, no large upfront investment, no visibility gap during transition.

FAQ

Common questions

Am I locked in to my current telematics supplier?

Contract terms vary by supplier, but your data does not have to be. Ultra Switch is designed to move you to a new provider while preserving your historical data and continuity of reporting.

Will we lose historical data if we switch?

No. Ultra Switch keeps continuity of your fleet data across the change, so trends, reporting and driver history carry over rather than resetting to zero.

Do we have to rip out existing hardware to switch?

Not necessarily. Where vehicles are OEM-connected, switching needs no new hardware, and existing devices can often be retained or phased out gradually.

How disruptive is switching suppliers?

The aim is continuity. Drivers, managers and boards keep the same normalised view throughout, so the change happens under the platform rather than to your operation.
