BRILLIANTTRACK

BrilliantTrack — Fleet & Asset Tracking

GPS telematics, fuel-theft detection, driver scoring, maintenance scheduling and tagged asset registers — with generator and cold-chain monitoring, on one control-room dashboard.

What BrilliantTrack is

BrilliantTrack is a fleet and asset monitoring platform combining GPS and GSM telematics hardware with a control-room application. It tracks vehicles, plant, generators, cold-chain units and tagged fixed assets in real time, and turns that stream into the four numbers an operations director actually needs: where the asset is, how it is being used, how much fuel it is consuming, and when it is next due for maintenance. It is bought by haulage and distribution firms, oil and gas service companies, government transport fleets, agricultural processors and hospital groups running vaccine and blood cold chains.

The problem is unmeasured cost. In a fleet without telematics, fuel is the largest controllable expense and the least controlled one: siphoning at night, short-delivery at the pump and unauthorised weekend trips are common and effectively invisible. Vehicles are serviced when they break rather than on schedule, so a ₦90,000 oil change becomes a ₦2.4 million engine. Assets bought two years ago cannot be located at audit. Drivers are blamed after accidents rather than coached before them.

BrilliantTrack addresses each of those with evidence. Calibrated fuel-level sensors show the tank profile minute by minute, so a sudden drop while the engine is off raises an alert with a location and a timestamp. Geofences around depots, customer sites and restricted areas record entry and exit. Route replay reconstructs any journey for a dispute. Driver behaviour scoring aggregates harsh braking, rapid acceleration, cornering, speeding and idling into a weekly league table that supervisors can act on. Maintenance is scheduled on odometer or engine hours rather than memory.

The platform is deployed and supported by our managed services practice, which runs more than 12,000 active endpoints and attained 99.95 per cent uptime in FY2025. We install the hardware ourselves in Kano, Abuja, Lagos and at client sites nationwide, calibrate every fuel sensor on the vehicle it will serve, and can operate the control room on your behalf if you would rather not staff one.

Functional modules

Nine capabilities on one platform, mixing vehicle telematics with fixed and mobile asset monitoring.

GPS / GSM Telematics

Positioning

Hard-wired or plug-in trackers reporting position, speed, heading, ignition state and engine hours over the mobile network, with on-device buffering when the vehicle passes through a coverage gap.

Geofencing

Zones

Draw depots, customer premises, restricted areas and route corridors on the map, and raise alerts on entry, exit, unauthorised stops or dwell time beyond a configured threshold.

Route Replay

Evidence

Reconstruct any journey second by second with speed, stops and events overlaid, export the trace for a customer dispute or an insurance claim, and retain history for the period you specify.

Fuel Sensors & Theft Alerts

Fuel control

Calibrated capacitive sensors profile the tank continuously, detect siphoning and short-delivery at the pump, reconcile issued litres against consumption, and alert with location and timestamp.

Driver Behaviour Scoring

Safety

Score harsh braking, rapid acceleration, sharp cornering, over-speeding and excessive idling into a weekly index per driver, with league tables and coaching reports for supervisors.

Maintenance Scheduling

Uptime

Trigger services on odometer reading, engine hours or elapsed time, hold the job history and parts used per vehicle, and warn before licence, insurance and roadworthiness certificates expire.

Asset Tagging (QR / RFID)

Registers

Tag generators, plant, laptops and furniture with QR or RFID labels, hold a full asset register with custodian and location, and run verification counts from an Android handset.

Generator & Cold-Chain Monitoring

Fixed assets

Monitor generator run hours, fuel level and load, and log cold-room and vaccine-fridge temperature continuously with excursion alerts and the audit record regulators ask for.

Control-Room Dashboard

Operations

A live wall view of the whole fleet with alert queues, exception lists, utilisation and cost-per-kilometre reporting, plus scheduled reports by e-mail and an Android app for supervisors.

Where the savings actually come from

Clients usually justify BrilliantTrack on fuel alone, and fuel alone usually pays for it within the first two quarters. The larger long-term gain is maintenance discipline and utilisation: knowing that a third of your fleet does eighty per cent of the work changes how you buy the next ten vehicles.

We install and calibrate every sensor ourselves rather than shipping a box, because an uncalibrated fuel sensor produces alerts nobody believes, and a platform nobody believes gets switched off. Figures quoted are illustrative of typical engagements and vary with route profile, fleet age and how firmly management acts on the exception reports.

  • Night-time siphoning detected with location, time and litre volume
  • Pump short-delivery caught by comparing issued against absorbed litres
  • Unauthorised weekend and off-route trips eliminated within a month
  • Scheduled servicing replaces breakdown repair on the major assets
  • Idling time cut, which lowers both fuel burn and engine wear
  • Insurance and roadworthiness renewals never missed
Where the savings actually come from

How we deploy BrilliantTrack

A fleet of 100 vehicles is normally fully installed and live within six to ten weeks, working around your operating schedule.

1

Requirements workshop

Two to three days with transport, operations, finance and security. We profile the fleet by vehicle type and route, agree which assets need fuel sensors, and define the alerts that will actually be acted upon.

2

Configuration

Vehicle and asset registers, driver records, geofences, route corridors, alert rules, escalation paths, maintenance schedules and user roles are configured before any hardware is fitted.

3

Data migration

Existing vehicle registers, service histories, licence and insurance expiry dates, driver lists and asset schedules are loaded, so the platform starts with your real history rather than an empty database.

4

Installation and calibration

Our technicians fit trackers, fuel sensors and probes in batches so the fleet keeps working, then calibrate every fuel sensor on its own vehicle by controlled fill and drain. Each installation is photographed and signed off.

5

Integration

We feed trip and fuel data into your fuel management, maintenance or accounting system, connect to BrilliantInsight where the client runs it, and set up SMS and e-mail alert routing.

6

Training

Control-room operators, transport supervisors, workshop staff and drivers are each trained on their own view. Drivers are shown the scoring method openly, because a hidden score changes no behaviour.

7

Pilot and go-live

Twenty vehicles run for three weeks while alert thresholds are tuned to your routes, then the rest of the fleet is switched on. Exception reporting to management begins from the first full week.

8

Hypercare

Sixty days of enhanced support with weekly exception reviews, re-calibration of any sensor producing false positives, replacement of any faulty unit at no charge, and handover to the standard support desk.

Questions buyers ask

Can the platform be hosted on our own servers?
Yes. Most clients use the hosted service on BrilliantCloud in Kano with disaster recovery in Abuja, but oil and gas and government clients often require an on-premises installation, which we support with the same software and an annual support contract. Trackers can be pointed at either endpoint, and a hybrid arrangement replicating to our cloud for backup is also available.
Where is location data stored, and what about the NDPA?
All telemetry is stored in Nigeria. Location and driver behaviour data relate to identifiable people, so we treat them as personal data: access is role-based, retention is set by you, and every export is logged. We sign a data-processing agreement, and our information-security management system is certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022. We also advise clients to notify drivers in writing that vehicles are tracked, which the Nigeria Data Protection Act makes prudent as well as fair.
What happens where there is no mobile network coverage?
Trackers buffer position and event data on the device — typically up to 60,000 records, which is several weeks of normal operation — and upload the backlog automatically when coverage returns. Route replay is therefore complete even for journeys through long dead zones. For fleets operating in areas with no coverage at all, we can supply satellite-backed units at additional cost.
Will it work with the systems and vehicles we already have?
The platform is hardware-agnostic for the main telematics protocols, so existing compatible trackers can often be re-pointed to BrilliantTrack rather than replaced. Data is exposed through a documented REST API and scheduled exports, and we routinely feed trip, fuel and maintenance data into fuel management systems, accounting systems and BrilliantInsight dashboards.
What are the support hours, and who watches the alerts?
Platform support runs 08:00 to 18:00 Monday to Saturday on +234 803 047 9666, with 24/7 cover available. Alerts are yours to watch by default. Clients who would rather not staff a control room take our managed option, where our operators in the Kano network operations centre watch the fleet around the clock and escalate to your duty officer by telephone.
Do we own the hardware, the data and the source code?
You own the hardware outright once the one-off charge is paid, and you own all telemetry data. The platform software is licensed rather than sold, with escrow available to Enterprise clients. On exit, we export your full history in open formats at no charge and release the trackers so they can be re-pointed to another provider.
Is training included and what about new drivers?
Training for operators, supervisors, workshop staff and the initial driver cohort is included in the installation fee. Driver induction material is provided so you can brief new joiners yourself, and we return twice a year for refresher sessions. Formal control-room operator certification is available through our ICT Training Academy.

Thirty-day proof of value on ten vehicles

We will fit ten of your vehicles with Track Plus units, including calibrated fuel sensors, and run them for thirty days at hardware cost only, with no subscription charged. At the end you receive a written report on fuel losses detected, unauthorised movements and driver scores. If you do not proceed, we remove the units at no charge.
