What does Michelin Connected Fleet focus on?
Michelin Connected Fleet is the fleet telematics division of tyre manufacturer Michelin, formed after Michelin's acquisition of UK telematics provider Masternaut and subsequently rebranded under the Michelin name. Its offering typically spans fitted telematics hardware, fuel and driver behaviour reporting, and tyre-linked fleet services, aimed at larger corporate and pan-European fleets that want an established enterprise vendor relationship.
For a UK SME running its own delivery, trades, or service vehicles, an enterprise telematics package is often more than the business needs, and typically means a custom-scoped quote and a longer contract term rather than a self-serve sign-up. It usually also leaves job dispatch, digital walkaround checks, and day-to-day DVSA compliance reporting as secondary features rather than the core product focus.
FleetGS combines live GPS tracking with job dispatch, compliance, and driver management in one self-serve platform, with app-only setup and transparent pricing published openly rather than confirmed by quote.

Why UK fleets choose FleetGS over Michelin Connected Fleet
Built for SME fleets, not pan-European enterprise
Michelin Connected Fleet's offering is geared towards larger corporate fleets, often operating across multiple countries. FleetGS is purpose-built for the day-to-day reality of a 10 to 250-vehicle UK operator, without paying for enterprise features aimed at a different kind of business.
Transparent pricing, published openly
Enterprise telematics pricing typically requires a custom quote and often a longer-term contract. FleetGS publishes flat-rate GBP plans openly on a monthly rolling basis, so a fleet manager can see the real cost before ever speaking to a salesperson.
No hardware fitting or onboarding project required
Enterprise telematics services are often built around fitted hardware and a formal onboarding project. FleetGS's app-only tracking gets a fleet live within 48 hours using the driver's own smartphone, with hardware as an optional add-on.
Direct, self-serve control over UK compliance tools
FleetGS's walkaround checks, Working Time Directive tools, and Operator Licence reporting are accessed directly through the app and dashboard, built specifically for UK DVSA requirements rather than adapted from a wider European product.

FleetGS vs Michelin Connected Fleet — frequently asked questions
What is Michelin Connected Fleet, and why do UK SME fleets search for an alternative?
Michelin Connected Fleet is the telematics and fleet management arm of tyre manufacturer Michelin, formed from its acquisition of Masternaut and rebranded under the Michelin name. Its offering spans fitted telematics hardware, fuel and driver behaviour reporting, and tyre-linked fleet services, aimed largely at larger corporate and pan-European fleets. UK SME businesses running 10 to 250 vehicles often look for an alternative when they want a self-serve, app-first platform with published pricing rather than an enterprise-style telematics package built for a different scale of operation.
How does FleetGS pricing compare to Michelin Connected Fleet?
Enterprise telematics providers like Michelin Connected Fleet typically price through a custom quote based on fleet size, hardware requirements, and contract length, often with multi-year commitments common in that part of the market. FleetGS publishes flat-rate GBP pricing openly: £45/month for up to 10 vehicles (Starter), £129/month for up to 40 vehicles (Growth), and £299/month for up to 200 vehicles (Scale), with GPS tracking, driver behaviour monitoring, and job dispatch included as standard, and no quote process required to see the real cost.
Do I need fitted hardware to use FleetGS, or can I start with app-only tracking?
FleetGS offers app-only tracking as standard, using the driver's own smartphone with no hardware fitting or installation appointment required, so a fleet can be live within 48 hours. Enterprise telematics providers in this part of the market are typically built around fitted hardware and an onboarding project, which suits a large, stable fleet but adds lead time and contractual complexity that many growing UK SME fleets would rather avoid. FleetGS supports hardware tracking as an optional add-on for vehicles that need it, without making it a requirement to get started.
Is FleetGS suitable for a fleet that doesn't need tyre management or pan-European coverage?
Yes. Tyre-linked services and multi-country coverage are valuable for large corporate fleets operating across Europe, but most UK SME fleets running their own vans and trucks within the UK don't need that layer. FleetGS is purpose-built for the day-to-day reality of a 10 to 250-vehicle UK operator — live tracking, job dispatch, digital walkaround checks, MOT and service alerts, and Operator Licence reporting — without paying for enterprise features aimed at a different kind of fleet.
How long does it take to switch from Michelin Connected Fleet to FleetGS?
Most app-only FleetGS fleets are fully live within 48 hours, with vehicle and driver records imported from a CSV export during onboarding. If an existing Michelin Connected Fleet hardware contract is still running, FleetGS can typically operate in parallel during a transition period so tracking continues uninterrupted while the old contract runs down. Our UK-based support team helps map existing vehicle and driver records across during setup, without needing a formal implementation project.
