TL;DR
- WheelsEye: telematics hardware + basic tracking dashboard. Great as a GPS layer.
- Traxium: fleet management software on top of any GPS layer. Adds TAT prediction, fuel audit, compliance alerts, invoicing.
- Honest answer: not a head-to-head. Most Indian fleets run WheelsEye for the dot, then add Traxium when operations outgrow the dashboard.

Stay on WheelsEye only if:

- You manually invoice once a month, no big deal
- Your driver loyalty is high and fuel pilferage feels controlled
Add Traxium on top if:
- You run 10+ vehicles
- You serve Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, or any customer with penalty clauses
- You suspect 5%+ fuel pilferage
- You have ever had a vehicle impounded for an expired document
- You spend more than two days a month on invoicing
