Geotab Connect 2026 Announcements

Written by Lucy Woodward | 19-Feb-2026 3:22:05 PM

Geotab Connect 2026 introduced several important updates focused on AI-driven insights, video telematics, predictive maintenance, and platform integration.

Below is a clear breakdown of the most relevant announcements for fleet operators.

How Is Geotab Using AI in Fleet Management?

At Connect 2026, Geotab emphasized that artificial intelligence is becoming embedded directly into the MyGeotab platform. Instead of adding separate AI tools, Geotab is integrating intelligent analysis into everyday workflows. AI capabilities are being used to:

    • Identify risk trends earlier

    • Surface operational inefficiencies

    • Highlight actionable insights automatically

    • Improve decision-making speed

For fleets, this means less time generating reports and more time acting on meaningful data.

What Is Changing with Video Telematics?

Video telematics is evolving from a post-incident review tool into a continuous operational input. Geotab highlighted video as a key component of:

    • Driver coaching programs

    • Risk trend analysis

    • Collision event verification

    • Safety performance monitoring

As safety expectations increase across industries, video is becoming a central part of fleet safety strategy rather than an optional add-on.

Are There Updates to Predictive Maintenance?

Yes. Predictive maintenance capabilities continue to expand through improved diagnostic insights and enriched fault code interpretation. For heavy-duty, vocational, and public works fleets, predictive maintenance supports:

    • Reduced unplanned downtime

    • Improved maintenance scheduling

    • Better asset lifecycle management

While predictive systems continue to mature, fleet data is playing a larger role in anticipating mechanical issues before they escalate.

How Is the Geotab Marketplace Evolving?

Geotab announced deeper integration between MyGeotab and third-party applications within its Marketplace ecosystem. The focus is on:

    • Stronger interoperability between systems

    • More seamless user experience

    • Reduced friction when connecting operational tools

For fleets using inspection software, routing platforms, asset management systems, or specialized operational applications, tighter integration reduces data silos and improves workflow efficiency.

Is Geotab Simplifying Fleet Technology?

Yes. A consistent theme at Connect 2026 was simplification. As telematics platforms grow more advanced, Geotab is prioritizing:

    • Streamlined onboarding processes

    • Standardized deployment experiences

    • Improved usability within MyGeotab

    • Reduced operational complexity

For fleets scaling operations or adopting new technologies like video or EV monitoring, simplification improves adoption and long-term success.

What Do These Announcements Mean for Fleet Operators?

Geotab Connect 2026 signals a broader shift in fleet management. Fleet technology is moving beyond tracking and reporting toward predictive, insight-driven operations. Key trends include:

    • Embedded AI

    • Integrated video telematics

    • Proactive maintenance planning

    • Stronger platform connectivity

For fleet operators, the opportunity is not just collecting data — but using it more strategically to improve safety, uptime, and operational efficiency.

Looking Ahead

As these updates roll out through 2026 and into 2027, fleet organizations should evaluate:

    • How they are using AI insights today

    • Whether video is integrated into their safety program

    • How maintenance planning leverages telematics data

    • Where system integrations can reduce operational friction
