Merged telematics leader on a mission to make our roads safer through AI-powered cameras, stronger compliance and ICT managed services
Brisbane & Melbourne – Hexicor Group’s telematics division has merged with leading telematics partner, AMA Fleet, to form one of Australia’s largest Teletrac Navman partners, combining national reach with deep transport expertise and shared commitment to driver safety.
Effective immediately, the unified business will operate as Hexicor Telematics, leveraging Hexicor’s wide footprint and ICT infrastructure with AMA Fleet’s enduring transport relationships and customer-first culture. All staff in both businesses will be retained.
Hexicor Group founder and Chairman, Bob Bishop, spotlighted the partners’ complementary strengths in light commercial, heavy transport, government and regional fleet markets as key factors.
“Opportunities are rare to grow profitably over geographies while enhancing skills, so we are delighted with the timing of our embrace,” Bishop said.
AI-enhanced video telematics will catalyse opportunities for logistics customers as they automate to meet rising compliance obligations, freight volumes and safety expectations Hexicor Group CEO, Paul Bouris.
“Hexicor has national scale and service depth, while AMA Fleet brings deep logistics expertise and enduring customer relationships,” Bouris said.
“Together, we deliver broader, smarter national fleet intelligence while our unified team of skilled experts is dedicated to safer roads and safeguarding drivers.”
AMA Fleet founder Cameron Evans said the merger formalises a relationship built over years of mutual respect and a growing recognition customers need integrated, scalable logistics solutions. It strengthens installation and project capability through Hexicor’s in-house technical teams and ICT managed services, he said.
“This is very much a meeting of the minds,” said Evans, who joins the Hexicor Telematics board as a director and becomes the principal Teletrac Navman partner.
“We built our business on long-term relationships and exceptionally low churn. Combining our respective strengths means we can focus on what really matters — helping drivers get home safely to their loved ones at the end of every shift.”
Teletrac Navman Australia National Channel Sales Manager Paul Scott welcomed the partnership between the two longstanding and highly successful channel partners.
“As telematics solutions continue to evolve and become deeply integrated into fleet operations, customers are seeking partners that can offer both nationwide scale and specialist expertise,” Scott said.
“The combined capabilities of Hexicor and AMA Fleet further enhance their ability to support transport operators as they navigate safety, compliance and performance requirements.”
Safer roads drive shared values of unified Hexicor Telematics
Australia recorded more than 1,300 road deaths in 2024 — the highest annual toll in 15 years — reversing decades of decline.
Evans said intelligent safety systems were now essential for transport operators.
“For me, with two teenaged P-platers in the house, this is personal. I’m about safer roads for all of us,” Evans said.
“And with driver shortages and more new drivers from a variety of backgrounds now behind the wheel, intelligent safety systems are no longer optional — they’re essential.”
Bouris agreed, saying Hexicor Telematics’ ambition was to grow through responsible leadership while raising industry standards.
“Our goal is to become Australia’s most trusted fleet intelligence partner — not just the largest, but the most capable and safety-focused,” Bouris said.
The rise of integrated camera systems underpinned by AI analytics is supporting structural shifts in the logistics sector. What began as vehicle tracking has evolved into real-time safety intelligence including fatigue detection, behavioural monitoring, regulator reporting and incident forensics.
Evans said safety systems “have moved beyond simply knowing where a vehicle is”.
“Today, it’s about driver safety, fatigue detection and proactive risk management. With integrated video and AI analytics, fleet operators can identify risks before they become incidents.”
Ageing workforce and rising compliance complicates fleet management
An ageing workforce — with half of Australia’s truck drivers over 55 and 20 per cent expected to retire within three years — placed fleet operators under pressure, Bouris said. He added that compliance obligations under Chain of Responsibility laws, National Heavy Vehicle Regulator requirements, and policies mandating cleaner and greener transport boosted demand for streamlined solutions.
“Transport operators are under constant regulatory scrutiny,” he said.
“Technology is becoming an essential tool — helping organisations manage fatigue, vehicle-mass compliance, emissions and driver behaviour in a structured, defensible way.”
AI video and real-time analytics like a copilot in the driver’s cockpit
Hexicor Telematics believes this year marks a turning point for video telematics, as AI-powered camera systems become standard across heavy and light fleets.
Forward and driver-facing cameras can now detect fatigue in real time, analyse behavioural risk and reconstruct incidents — capabilities increasingly relevant to insurers, regulators and enterprise operators. It’s like giving every driver their own, personalised “copilot”, said Hexicor’s Bouris.
“We’re seeing a shift from reactive reporting to proactive intelligence,” Bouris said.
“Combining vehicle data with visual analytics allows operators to understand not just what happened, but why — and how to prevent it happening again.
“Hexicor Telematics now has the capability and focus to ensure operators have the tools to run safer, smarter fleets.”
