Bandit quickly became a respected name in stolen vehicle recovery. But as technology advanced, so too did the company. Bandit evolved into Bidtrack, expanding its capabilities from security into telematics, fleet monitoring, and data-driven solutions.
Today, Bidtrack is recognised as one of South Africa’s leading providers of telematics and stolen vehicle recovery. Its systems are designed to give businesses both oversight and insight. Artificial intelligence plays a central role—camera management tools not only capture risky behaviour and incidents, but also encourage safer driving without being intrusive.
Fleet managers benefit from full operational visibility, from theft detection and fuel cost analysis to driver behaviour scoring and preventative maintenance. With live GPS tracking and accessible historical reporting, Bidtrack provides a comprehensive view of performance and movement—whether for a single vehicle or an entire fleet.
What sets Bidtrack apart is its adaptability. Recognising that no two businesses are the same, it offers custom feature development and API integrations, tailoring technology to fit unique operational needs. Around-the-clock support ensures that the partnership extends well beyond installation, evolving as clients grow.
The company’s guiding ethos—“Protecting what moves you”—captures a commitment that has remained constant since its Bandit days. More than a slogan, it reflects a philosophy of safeguarding not just vehicles, but the people and businesses behind them.
From its origins in vehicle recovery to its place at the forefront of telematics, Bidtrack’s journey is one of continuous evolution. In an industry defined by speed and efficiency, it has found a rare balance: combining cutting-edge technology with a human touch, and reminding us that behind every fleet is a business, and behind every business are people whose journeys matter.
