Invest in reliability. Supported, managed GPS tracking vs unverified one-off devices.
October 28, 2025
We’re excited to announce that Konexit Fleet is now providing Thatcham Category S5 insurance-approved tracking solutions, giving fleets access to the highest standards of vehicle security and insurance compliance.
Understanding Thatcham Category S5
Thatcham Research’s “S-series” classification sets strict standards for vehicle tracking systems. These systems must provide real-time monitoring, driver authentication, tamper and movement alerts, and a 24/7 control centre that works directly with police to recover stolen vehicles.
Category S5 trackers, such as the ScorpionTrack Driver S5 VTS, include Automatic Driver Recognition (ADR). This means only authorised drivers with an ID tag can move the vehicle. If the vehicle is moved without the correct tag, an instant alert is triggered.
Even when the ignition is off, the system monitors for tow-away or tampering attempts. Users can view live GPS tracking, full journey history, and set up geo-fences to receive alerts if a vehicle leaves a designated area.
Because of this level of protection, insurers often require Thatcham S5 trackers for high-value or high-risk vehicles.
What Konexit Fleet Is Now Offering
Konexit has expanded its range to include Thatcham-approved tracking devices that meet the most rigorous security standards. These advanced, insurance-approved trackers provide real-time monitoring and enhanced theft protection — all fully integrated into the Konexit Fleet management system.
Devices are available from £379 including VAT, with UK-wide professional installation at a location convenient for you. Once installed, the devices link directly into Konexit’s fleet management platform, allowing users to combine security tracking with full telematics functionality such as live fleet visibility, route optimisation, driver behaviour analysis, and cost-saving insights.
Unlocking the Power of S5 Tracking
Insurance compliance and potential premium savings:
Many insurers now require Thatcham S5 trackers on high-value or specialist vehicles. Using an approved device ensures compliance and may help secure lower insurance premiums.
Enhanced theft prevention and rapid recovery:
With automatic driver recognition and 24/7 monitoring, any unauthorised vehicle movement triggers an immediate alert. ScorpionTrack’s S5 system, for example, boasts a recovery rate of over 96%.
Seamless integration with fleet management:
By combining S5 tracking with Konexit Fleet’s software, businesses gain both theft protection and powerful telematics features — including live tracking, journey history, geofencing, and driver performance insights.
Coverage for all vehicle types:
These devices are suitable for cars, vans, electric vehicles, HGVs, motorhomes, and even plant machinery.
