About Symtech

Symtech is a New Zealand-based fleet management and telematics provider, and for more than 20 years we've helped businesses in demanding environments improve vehicle utilisation, driver safety, asset performance and compliance.

We cover everything you'd expect from a modern telematics platform.

Where we go further is asset management: maintenance scheduling, inspections, defect management and compliance record keeping, all in one place.

One source of truth for servicing, inspections, defects and certifications. Audit-ready, always, with less admin and lower operating costs.

Our approach is simple: understand your operation first, then understand your operational requirements, appreciating that every business has specific and sometimes unique needs, then construct and configure the solution to fit.

We build long-term partnerships, not off-the-shelf installs. We'll tailor a solution that gives you real visibility across your fleet, assets and compliance.

WHAT M5 DOES

One platform for fleet, assets and compliance

Maintenance

Service and repairs scheduled off real data, not memory. Inspections, defects and odometer readings feed straight into M5, with maintenance tasks assigned to the right people, so nothing slips and every action is on record.

Prestart safety check

Drivers complete inspections on their phone before leaving the yard. Issues or incidents can be photographed and are logged instantly, defects tracked through to repair, and every check becomes part of your compliance record.

Tracking

See where every vehicle and asset is, live and historically, on one map. Know what's moving, what's sitting idle, and where it's been, without ringing around to find out. Fuel use and spend sit alongside, so the full running cost of every vehicle is visible.

RUC

Road user charges kept on track automatically from the distance actually travelled.

Fuel


Track fuel use and spend across the whole fleet. Spot the thirsty vehicles and the fills that don't add up, and trim what you're burning over a year.

Modular approach

Start with what you need and add modules as you grow. Tracking, compliance, RUC and maintenance all run on M5 so your data lives in one place.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

Maintenance that doesn't get missed

Services and repairs are triggered by real odometer readings and operating hours, not memory or spreadsheets. Every job is assigned, tracked and recorded, so vehicles stay road ready and every action becomes part of your compliance history.

• Service scheduling by km, hours or date
• Defect logging through to repair
• Maintenance personnel assignment
• Full digital service history per asset

PRESTART CHECKS

Every check, on the record

Drivers complete prestart inspections for their assigned vehicles and associated assets on their phone before leaving the yard. Issues are logged the moment they're found, and missed checks are just as visible as completed ones, so you can prove your safety controls are operating, not just say they are.

• App-based prestart inspections
• Instant defect capture with photos
• Missed and late check reporting
• Audit-ready inspection records

MAPS AND LIVE TRACKING

Real time data

See exactly where your vehicles, plant, and equipment are and what they’re doing, at any moment. M5 gives fleet operations managers a clear view of fleet activity across sites and roads, helping teams coordinate work, respond faster to issues, and keep operations moving.

• Live asset location
• Speed
• Map layers and Geofencing
• Communication and Asset Status
• Odo/ Hours and Trip History

COMPLIANCE REPORTING

Audit-ready, always

Certifications, registrations and inspection and repair records kept current in one place, with due dates tracked and overdue items impossible to miss. When an audit or investigation asks for evidence, it's retrievable in minutes, not reconstructed from spreadsheets and filing cabinets.

• Certification and registration tracking with due date alerts
• Overdue, due soon and future status at a glance
• Complete digital records of inspections, defects and repairs
• Supports Chain of Responsibility obligations

FUEL MANAGEMENT

Know what fuel you're using

Fuel use and spend* tracked across the whole fleet, matched to vehicles, locations and operators. Spot the thirsty vehicles, flag the fills that don't add up, and see exactly where fuel money goes over a month, a quarter or a year.

• Fuel purchase records matched to vehicle and location
• Assigned operator at time of purchase
• Usage allocation and burn reporting per asset
• Exception flags for fills that don't match vehicle activity

* Availabilty subject to fuel provider intergration

HOW IT WORKS

We know your business is different

We start with understanding what you need (and what you don't). We agree what success looks like, and set you up with minimal disruption to your operation.

1

Discovery session

Before anything is installed, we sit down together to understand your operation and agree what you need to achieve within your business. Outcomes agreed and documented up front.

2

Install and
set up

Our Symtech M5 devices are then fully installed, giving you complete access to the M5 fleet portal and the Guardian prestart app. Your team trained and supported from day one.

3

Real data is recorded

Track vehicles, run prestart checks, manage servicing and test the reporting against your actual operation, with support throughout.

4

Review
together

We then review the results against the outcomes we agreed upon. Our team don't sign you up then forget about you, we offer real human support from day one.
