Auckland, New Zealand [July 29, 2025] – EROAD, a global leader in connected fleet management solutions, today announced a new strategic relationship with Whip Around, a best-in-class fleet maintenance management and compliance platform.

The combination of EROAD’s real-time vehicle data, GPS tracking, and compliance solutions with Whip Around’s end-to-end maintenance management platform will enable customers to automate compliance workflows, proactively address issues before they lead to breakdowns, and keep vehicles safe and road-ready, turning existing fleet data into a powerful driver of efficiency and performance.

Vehicle inspections powered by telematics technology are crucial for modern fleet operations because they transform routine compliance into a proactive, data-driven strategy for safety, efficiency, longer asset life, and cost control. When combined with a best-in-class maintenance platform, the benefits multiply.

“EROAD is committed to building a connected ecosystem that simplifies fleet management,” said Mark Heine, EROAD co-CEO, “and we see fleet maintenance as a significant opportunity to deliver greater value to our customers. By combining our telematics expertise with Whip Around’s flexible inspection and maintenance management tools, we’ll provide fleet managers the intelligence and insights they need to take greater control of their operations and drive smarter, safer outcomes, positioning them for immediate and future success in their operations.”

​​In addition to managing preventative maintenance schedules, fleets using EROAD and Whip Around will benefit from asset health insights using real-time data from the engine, including fault codes, engine temperature, mileage and more. The end-to-end fleet maintenance solution provides a connected and seamless workflow between drivers, fleet managers, and workshop teams. Through this partnership, fleet managers can gain a more unified ecosystem to support both daily operations and long-term planning​.​​

​​​“As fleets navigate increasing operational complexity and regulatory demands, the need for cohesive, data-driven solutions has never been greater,” said Noah Hickey, Whip Around CEO. “This partnership brings together two recognized innovators to deliver a cohesive experience that enhances fleet performance, strengthens compliance, and supports long-term strategic goals.”

Fleet operators attending EROAD Fleet Day, New Zealand’s largest fleet management conference, can learn more about this new partnership on 30th July, or they can contact either company directly for more information.
