Omnitracs review and pricing

Long-haul trucking specialist; TMS-deep workflow inside Solera post-merger.

By Solera Holdings, LLC (acquired 2021) · Founded 1988 · Dallas, TX · pe backed

Omnitracs is the long-haul trucking telematics specialist, founded 1988 (originally as a Qualcomm business unit, spun out 2013, acquired by Vista Equity Partners 2014, sold to Solera Holdings in 2021 in a transaction that combined Omnitracs with SmartDrive and eDriving under Solera Fleet Solutions). The product covers FMCSA ELD compliance, Hours of Service, route planning and dispatch, TMS integration, video event recording (SmartDrive heritage), and a documented partner ecosystem with most major North American trucking TMS platforms (McLeod, MercuryGate, Cetaris). Best fit for long-haul trucking carriers (especially 100-5,000+ truck fleets) with mature TMS workflows where deep route compliance, dispatch integration and 30-plus year category heritage matter. Trade-offs: post-2021 Solera integration is still consolidating multiple product lines, UI and product velocity is slower than Samsara or Motive, customer satisfaction has slipped through 2024-2026 G2 reviews, and the product is poorly suited to light-vehicle or service fleets.
