# Rosenberger Telematics GmbH > Master your data. Decide with confidence. Rosenberger Telematics GmbH is an Austrian telematics software and SaaS company founded in 2008, based in Timelkam, Upper Austria. The company develops Commander — a modular, cloud-based telematics platform that turns movement data from vehicles, machines, and containers into operational intelligence. With 1,000+ organisations and 180,000+ connected devices, Rosenberger Telematics is one of the leading telematics providers in the DACH region and is part of the global Rosenberger Group (approximately 15,000 employees worldwide). ## Commander Platform Commander is the company's single core product — a multi-tenant SaaS telematics platform that collects real-time telemetry from vehicles, machines, and mobile assets and turns it into operational intelligence: live positions, trip history, compliance documentation, alerts, maintenance tracking, and analytics. It is hosted in a private cloud operated by conova communications GmbH in Salzburg, Austria; all data is processed and stored in Austria, never leaves Austrian territory, and is fully GDPR-compliant with a minimum data retention period of 12 months. Commander is priced on a flat-rate subscription model per connected asset per month — no setup fees, no per-user charges, and no hidden costs. The platform is modular: customers start with the capabilities they need and add modules as their operation grows, from a single asset to several thousand. ## Core Capabilities - **Live Tracking** — Real-time map with positions, status, and telemetry for every asset — vehicles, machines, and containers. Always know where everything is. - **Digital Logbook** — Tax-compliant automatic trip recording. Private trip details are stripped from responses at the data layer before reaching anyone other than the driver — privacy enforced by design, meeting Austrian and German tax authority requirements (Fahrtenbuch / Fahrtennachweis). - **Tachograph** — Remote download and analysis of digital tachograph data, including Smart Tachograph 2. Converts regulatory compliance data into operational fleet insights including driver hours, infringements, and fleet KPIs. - **Zone Management** — Define geographic boundaries and automatically detect every entry and exit event. Monitor dwell time, visit history, and zone activity — without manual checks. - **Alert Management** — Configurable rules with email, in-app, and push notification delivery. Know the moment something needs attention. - **Maintenance Management** — Service intervals, inspection deadlines, and custom maintenance tasks with automatic due-date alerts based on calendar time or operating hours. - **Corporate Car Sharing** — Digital pool vehicle booking with approval workflow and optional key cabinet integration. Reduces fleet size while improving availability. - **Analytics & Reporting** — KPI dashboards, performance metrics, utilisation reports, and scheduled report exports. The data foundation for confident, data-based decisions. - **ERP Integrations** — Open REST APIs your ERP can connect to, plus customer-specific gateways built to existing system endpoints — including SAP and Microsoft Dynamics. ## Mobile Apps Commander includes four companion apps for iOS and Android. R-COCKPIT, R-DRIVE and R-SERVICE are covered by the relevant Commander licences; R-BEACON is optional. - **R-COCKPIT** — Live fleet overview for fleet managers. Full-screen interactive map showing live asset positions, active alerts, and KPI dashboards. Designed for fleet managers who need Commander visibility while away from their desk. - **R-DRIVE** — Driver companion app for digital logbook and trip classification. Drivers log in to a vehicle, classify trips as business, way to work, or private in real time, and manage their own trip history. Private trip protection is enforced at the data layer — only the driver can see their own private trip details. - **R-SERVICE** — Field technician installation and service app. Guides technicians through step-by-step device installation workflows via QR code scanning, digital service protocols with photos and digital signatures, synced back to Commander in real time. - **R-BEACON** — Background beacon scanning station app for proximity-based asset tracking. Configured once via a registration ID, it runs silently and detects nearby RBT beacons to report the asset's location — no dedicated GPS device required for the tracked asset. Used for containers, tools, small equipment, and other assets without ignition. ## Industries and Use Cases ### Fleet Management Commander automates the tasks that consume fleet managers' time — tachograph downloads, logbook management, driver assignment, and maintenance tracking — putting everything in one screen. Real-time GPS tracking, automatic trip recording, and tax-compliant digital logbook with strict driver privacy controls serve fleets of any size. Commander's tachograph module handles remote data download and analysis for all digital tachograph generations, including Smart Tachograph 2 (mandatory from 1 July 2026 for vehicles 2.5–3.5 tonnes in cross-border transport). Reference customers include Logistik Service GmbH (LogServ), Verkehrsbetriebe Burgenland (100+ digital logbooks), and Österreichische Post AG. ### Construction Telematics Commander provides full asset visibility across construction sites — vehicles, machinery, and tools regardless of manufacturer. Assets connect via plug-in telematics devices or directly via the AEMP 2.0 / ISO 15143-3 construction machinery data standard (Liebherr, Caterpillar, Komatsu, Volvo, and others), with no additional hardware required when a manufacturer data feed is already present. Automatic operating-hour recording, geofencing with movement alerts, and maintenance management eliminate idle machinery costs and reduce theft. Reference customers include PORR Equipment Services (17,000 devices, €4 million in equipment reallocated via telemetry insights, 10-year partnership), Strabag BMTI (~3,000 devices scaling to 10,000+ across 16 countries), and Ing. Hans Bodner Bau GmbH (700 assets). ### Asset Tracking Commander brings vehicles, machines, containers, trailers, and tools onto a single live map — including assets without ignition. Hardware-backed assets report continuously via GPS telematics devices; assets without ignition are tracked via beacon proximity detection using small beacon tags and R-BEACON scanning stations at site gates and depot entrances. Geofence alerts enable real-time theft detection; full movement history with timestamps, locations, and durations is exportable for audits, billing, and subcontractor accountability. Utilisation and idle reporting supports informed decisions about deployment and rental returns. ### OEM & White-Label Vehicle and machinery manufacturers integrate Commander as a fully branded telematics offering for their end customers — under their own URL, logo, colour scheme, and email templates. Commander is invisible infrastructure; the manufacturer owns the customer relationship. Branding customisation covers the full platform including login screens and all four companion apps. Single Sign-On (SSO) integration connects Commander to existing customer portals. If the manufacturer's machines already transmit telematics data, Commander can consume it directly via OEM API or ISO 15143-3 / AEMP 2.0 — no additional hardware installation required. Distributors and OEM partners manage their own customer organisations, hardware product catalogue, and billing independently within the platform hierarchy. ## Key Differentiators - Data hosted in Austria (GDPR-compliant private cloud at conova communications GmbH, Salzburg) - Flat-rate subscription model — no setup fees, predictable monthly cost per device - 1,000+ organisations connected - 180,000+ devices managed - 15+ years of telematics experience (founded 2008) - 7× Telematik Award winner (2012, 2014, 2018, 2020, 2024 — plus German Innovation Award 2023 and Deutscher Telematik Preis 2024 and 2026) - Austrian-based team with direct customer support (no call center) — a dedicated account manager from day one, reachable directly - Manufacturer-agnostic — works with any vehicle or machinery brand via hardware devices or direct OEM API / ISO 15143-3 integration - White-label capable — sold as Commander and as a fully rebranded platform for distributors and OEM partners - Part of the global Rosenberger Group — financial stability and long-term platform commitment ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: What is Rosenberger Telematics?** Rosenberger Telematics GmbH is an Austrian telematics company founded in 2008. We develop Commander — a modular SaaS platform that gives companies complete visibility over their vehicles, machines, and mobile assets. We are part of the global Rosenberger Group (15,000 employees worldwide) and are based in Timelkam, Upper Austria. 1,000+ organisations. 180,000+ connected devices. One of the leading telematics providers in the DACH region. --- **Q: What is Commander?** Commander is our core product — a multi-tenant SaaS telematics platform that collects real-time telemetry from vehicles, machines, and mobile assets and turns it into operational intelligence. Live tracking, trip history, digital logbook, tachograph compliance, alert management, zone monitoring, maintenance tracking, analytics, and ERP integration. It is modular: start with what you need, add capabilities as your operation grows. One platform for your entire fleet management or equipment park — regardless of manufacturer. --- **Q: Which industries do you serve?** Construction is our primary segment, but Commander works for any operation with mobile assets. We serve transport and logistics, municipalities and public enterprises, waste management, energy, manufacturing, and OEM & white-label offering for vehicle manufacturers. Company sizes range from a single vehicle to several thousand assets. --- **Q: Where is my data hosted?** In a private cloud operated by conova communications GmbH in Salzburg, Austria. All data is processed and stored in Austria and never leaves Austrian territory. Minimum data retention is 12 months — extendable on request. --- **Q: Is Commander GDPR-compliant?** Yes. Data is hosted in Austria under EU law. Commander's digital logbook includes permission-based private trip protection — when trip data is requested, private trip details belonging to another driver are removed from the response before they are returned. This satisfies GDPR requirements around employee location data. We can provide a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) for your compliance documentation. --- **Q: What hardware do I need?** Two options. Option 1: Install a Rosenberger Telematics OBU (On-Board Unit) — our proprietary IP54–IP69K-rated telematics device, designed for vehicles and heavy machinery. Option 2: If your assets already have a manufacturer telematics feed (OEM API or ISO 15143-3 / AEMP 2.0), connect them as virtual devices — no additional hardware required. Both approaches give you identical functionality in Commander. --- **Q: Can Commander track assets from different manufacturers on one screen?** Yes. This is one of Commander's core differentiators. Liebherr cranes, Caterpillar excavators, Mercedes-Benz vans, Lindner tractors — they all appear in a unified view. Hardware-independent tracking via OBU devices, and direct manufacturer integration via AEMP 2.0 / ISO 15143-3 for machines that already have a manufacturer data feed. --- **Q: Does Commander support AEMP 2.0 / ISO 15143-3?** Yes. Commander has a native interface for the AEMP 2.0 / ISO 15143-3 construction machinery data standard. Assets connected via this standard appear and behave identically to hardware-backed assets inside Commander. Particularly relevant for construction companies running mixed-manufacturer fleets. --- **Q: What ERP systems does Commander integrate with?** Commander provides open REST APIs that your ERP system can integrate to. For specific customers, we also build custom gateways that call endpoints in your existing systems — including SAP and Microsoft Dynamics. Our team supports integration scoping and implementation. --- **Q: Is there a mobile app?** Four companion apps, all for iOS and Android. - R-COCKPIT: Live fleet overview for fleet managers. - R-DRIVE: Digital logbook and trip classification for drivers. - R-SERVICE: Field technician installation and service workflows. - R-BEACON: Background beacon scanning for proximity-based asset tracking. R-COCKPIT, R-DRIVE and R-SERVICE are included with the relevant Commander licences; R-BEACON is optional. --- **Q: How is Commander priced?** Flat-rate subscription per connected asset per month. Included in every plan: Commander SaaS licence, Europe-wide data transmission, data storage (minimum 12 months), software updates, webinars, and onboarding support. No setup fees. No per-user charges. No hidden costs. Contact us for a quote tailored to your fleet size and module requirements. --- **Q: Is there a minimum contract term?** Standard contracts run for 12 months. No minimum fleet size — you can start with a single asset. For larger rollouts, we are flexible on contract structure. --- **Q: How long does setup take?** Commander is operational within a few days of device installation. The onboarding process — account setup, user configuration, alert rules, report schedules — is guided by our team and typically complete in the first week. No IT project. No multi-month rollout. Most customers are up and running before they expected to be. --- **Q: Do you offer a pilot or trial period?** We offer a free 30-minute live demo of Commander focused on your use case and fleet type. For larger organisations considering a wider rollout, we can discuss a pilot arrangement for a subset of your fleet. Contact us to start the conversation. --- **Q: What does the all-inclusive service package include?** The flat-rate subscription covers: Commander SaaS licence for all active modules, Europe-wide 2G/3G/4G data transmission, data processing and storage, all software updates, webinars, and onboarding support. Hardware (OBU devices) is typically bundled as part of the deployment agreement — contact us for specifics based on your fleet setup. --- **Q: Is the digital logbook accepted by Austrian and German tax authorities?** Yes. Commander's digital logbook meets the requirements of the Austrian and German tax authorities for vehicle usage records (Fahrtenbuch / Fahrtennachweis). Trip data is automatically recorded, tamper-resistant, and exportable in the formats required for tax audits. --- **Q: How does private trip protection work for drivers?** When a driver marks a trip as private in the R-DRIVE app, that trip's GPS positions, route, start and stop times, and destination addresses are removed from any response served to other users. The details are only returned when the requesting user is the driver who owns the trip. Only the driver can see their own private trip details. This design meets Austrian and German employer-employee data protection requirements (DSGVO / Betriebsverfassung). --- **Q: Does Commander support Smart Tachograph 2?** Yes. Commander's Tachograph module handles remote download and analysis of Smart Tachograph 2 data just as it does for earlier digital tachograph generations. After the ST2 hardware retrofit in your vehicles (required from 1 July 2026 for vehicles 2.5–3.5 tonnes in cross-border transport), the compliance reporting, driver hour analysis, and infringement detection in Commander continue without any reconfiguration on the software side. ## Contact and Demo Rosenberger Telematics GmbH Atterseestraße 56 A-4850 Timelkam Austria Phone: +43 7672 94 429 Email: sales-telematics@rosenberger.com Demo booking: https://www.rosenberger-telematics.com/contact ## Pages - / — Homepage: Commander telematics platform overview, capabilities, and industries - /fleet — Fleet Management: real-time GPS tracking, digital logbook, tachograph for commercial fleets - /construction — Construction Telematics: asset visibility for vehicles, machinery, and tools on construction sites - /asset-tracking — Asset & Container Tracking: real-time location for containers, trailers, and equipment - /oem — OEM & White-Label: fully branded telematics platform for vehicle and machinery manufacturers - /faq — Frequently Asked Questions: pricing, GDPR, tachograph support, onboarding - /about — About Rosenberger Telematics: company history, team, and Rosenberger Group background - /contact — Contact & Demo: book a Commander demo or reach the sales team - /news — News & Updates: product releases, industry articles, company announcements - /roi-calculator — ROI Calculator: estimate cost savings from Commander telematics - /blog/* — Blog: detailed articles on telematics, compliance, and fleet management - /impressum — Legal Notice (Impressum) — Austrian legal requirement - /datenschutz — Privacy Policy (Datenschutz) — GDPR/DSGVO compliance
