See every vehicle and asset on one map in real time, with current speed and location at a glance.
Set boundaries, sites and zones in the M5 platform, and see vehicle and assets present in the geofences in the app.
Track inputs like PTO, safety lights or tipping, so you know when, for who and how long an accessory has been actually working, not just where it is.
Manage the whole fleet or split it into sub-fleets, keep team managers focused on their responsibilities
Replay any vehicle's full day, trip by trip, colour-coded for easy interpretation, by date, time and distance.
Total distance, idling time, accessory use, overspeed and stops, summarised per trip, per day and for historical reference.
Switch between standard map and satellite for the detail you need, wherever the asset is.
Decide exactly who sees which vehicles and fleets, and keep the rest out of view.
Replay any trip to prove where a vehicle was and when, so customer queries and timesheet disputes are sorted in seconds.
Spot idling, overspeed and wasted trips, then rein in the habits in real time that quietly burn fuel and wear out vehicles.
See speed and overspeed across the fleet and reinforce better habits before they cost you.
Know when an asset is actually working, not just parked on site, so you can bill, schedule and quote with confidence.
With live location you can send the nearest vehicle and answer "where are you?" and understand completed work, without picking up the phone.
Split into sub-fleets and set user access, so you can delegate and scale without losing oversight.
If it moves, Guardian tracks it.
Put trucks, trailers, plant, machinery and light vehicles on the same live map, replay any trip, and run the whole operation from one system instead of guessing where things are. And you don't have to be a big fleet to need it. The moment your team takes company vehicles out the gate, knowing where they are, how they're driven and what they're doing pays for itself.

Transport and logistics
Trucks and trailers tracked live, with every run on record to settle delivery and timesheet queries.

Trades and mobile teams
Vans, utes and company cars on one map, so you know who's nearest the next job and where the day went.

Civil and construction
Plant and machinery tracked across sites, with idle time and working hours you can actually bill from.

Councils and local government
Mixed fleets and contractors on one map, with trip history that stands up to public scrutiny.

Agriculture
Farm vehicles, machinery and contracting equipment tracked across the property, so nothing goes missing and every hour is accounted for.

Forestry
Off the map trucks and machinery trip and data saved and delivered when back in coverage.

Hire and rental fleets
Every asset tracked in real time, with speed, location and usage on record for billing and recovery.

Passenger and community transport
Buses, shuttles and vans tracked live, with replayable routes, pick up and drop off times you can prove.
"When we looked at the real risk of not having complete maintenance records if there was an incident, we knew we needed to change."

Guardian Tracking isn't a standalone app you'll outgrow. It's the live-fleet layer of Symtech's M5 platform, that system operators already run their maintenance, RUC and compliance on. Every trip, location and driver-behaviour, and maintenance insight flows straight into M5, where the office handles servicing, reminders, reporting and records. One connected system, from the cab to the back office.
Paired with the Guardian Prestart app, it's the full picture: live tracking and trip history alongside daily safety checks, defects and photos, all feeding the same record. Manage the whole fleet from the palm of your hand.
Guardian’s built to be simple to roll out. You add your operators, vehicles and assets, set up your checklists, and your team can start running Prestarts from their phones. This is typically achieved within a couple of days.
Guardian runs on the iOS or Android smartphones your drivers already carry so there’s no special hardware to buy. As Guardian is providing data to the M5 portal, a company must have Symtech's M5 platform being utilised for its fleet management.
Plenty of fleets work where coverage drops out, so Guardian captures prestart checks offline and syncs when your phone is back in coverage. So no data is lost, and it is great for machinery that may be operated out of coverage for long periods of time.
Yes. You manage your customisable checklist, by individual, groups or for the entire vehicle fleet or asset type rather than forcing everything through one generic form. Or you can use generic questions we offer.
Guardian is the field layer of Symtech’s M5 platform, so your Prestarts, defects and records flow straight into the same system that handles vehicle location, maintenance, automated RUC management, FBT, reporting, and more.
It makes their lives easier. Adoption comes down to friction, and Guardian keeps the daily check to a couple of minutes on a phone, no paper, no faff. Failed checks flag straight away, so managers can see who’s done theirs and follow up.
Your records are stored securely in the M5 platform, with a complete, time-stamped history you can access any time.
Pricing depends on your fleet size and what you need, so book a demo and we’ll give you a straight answer for your operation.
Our Guardian Prestart Module gives transport and fleet operators a simple way to manage Prestart checks, vehicle defects, servicing, and compliance from one mobile-first platform. It's not overloaded with unnecessary complexity.
It’s designed to make Prestarts, servicing, and compliance simple for drivers, managers, and workshop teams alike.
No paper forms. No missed issues.
No guessing who's completed their checks.
Built for real-world operations, Guardian helps teams identify unsafe vehicles faster, stay compliant, and reduce downtime caused by preventable issues.
