What state and federal teams care about

The three buying signals we hear most from government fleet teams.

Multi-agency

Departments, divisions, regions, jurisdictions. One platform.

Australian customer data stays in Australia. New Zealand data stays in New Zealand. That's not a feature. That's a contract.

Sovereignty

Data stays in-region. End of story.

All customer data is hosted on Australian servers - Australian-owned, under Australian jurisdiction, never offshore. Encrypted in transit and at rest, role-based access control, audit logs. The foreign-owned competitors in this market can claim regional hosting, but the operational reality of who can touch what is different when the parent organisation is offshore.

  • NZ data per customer contract
  • Encrypted in transit + at rest
  • Role-based access control
  • Audit logs to procurement-grade
  • Australian-owned and operated

Multi-agency architecture

Cost centres roll up across divisions and regions. Cross-agency permissions enable resource sharing where appropriate. Audit logs attribute every booking to the correct billing identity. Reporting views aggregate to the level the relevant decision-maker needs - regional manager, department CFO, or central agency oversight.

Same architecture that supports cross-department fleet sharing.

Multi-agency reality

Departments, divisions, regions, jurisdictions - one platform.

State and federal department fleets cross organisational lines: a department has divisions, divisions have regional offices, and operations may span multiple agencies. The platform's multi-tenancy + cost-centre awareness handles this natively - the same architecture that supports cross-department fleet sharing scales to internal multi-division departments without splitting the tenancy.

Hardware lifetime

10+ year deployments. Not three-year churn cycles.

Government fleet procurement cycles are long. Three-year hardware replacement is administratively expensive, environmentally questionable, and operationally disruptive. Sensium TRACKbox hardware is designed for ten-plus year deployment - some devices are still in service after seventeen years. Total cost of ownership compounds favourably when the hardware lasts the life of the vehicle.

The Sensium TRACKbox product family — TB2, TB3 and TB4 — engineered for 10+ year deployment.

Long-deployment economics

Hardware that lasts the life of the vehicle.

10+ yr

Typical TRACKbox deployment lifetime. Some Sensium devices are still in service after seventeen years.

Three-year hardware churn imposes hidden administrative costs. Long deployments compound favourably.

Hardware sovereignty in the field

Three TRACKboxes. Every vehicle and asset.

Your department fleet spans powered vehicles, non-powered assets, geographies, and connectivity environments. Sensium designs hardware for each, all manufactured in Australia, all reporting into the same Connect+ dashboard.

TRACKbox TB2 — hard-wired in-vehicle telematics unit.

On the road

TRACKbox TB2

On every department vehicle — staff cars, inspection utes, field units, agency-owned trucks. The cellular-grid workhorse.

TRACKbox TB3 — sealed, white battery-powered asset tracker for non-powered assets.

Non-powered assets

TRACKbox TB3

On every non-powered agency asset — trailers, generators, environmental monitoring stations, deployable equipment. Self-contained, battery-powered, sealed for outdoor exposure.

TRACKbox 4 — black industrial unit combining cellular, Direct-to-Cell satellite, and LoRa in one device.

Past cellular

TRACKbox 4

For agencies operating past cellular coverage — regional offices, remote field teams, interstate operations. Cellular + Direct-to-Cell satellite + LoRa in one device.

Procurement shortcuts

Pre-approved on the panels your agency already uses.

Sensium is appointed to three procurement panels covering Australian and New Zealand government agencies, and is the preferred telematics partner of a major fleet management provider in New Zealand. Each appointment compressed an independent evaluation of platform security, data integrity, and long-term support into a structured procurement framework — your agency can engage via the panel RFQ process rather than starting from scratch.

01

NZ · AoG Panel

All-of-Government Telematics Panel

Appointed to the New Zealand All-of-Government Telematics Panel. NZ government agencies — at any tier — can procure Sensium under the AoG framework.

02

QLD · QFleet Panel

QFleet Telematics Panel

Approved provider on the Queensland Government QFleet Telematics Panel. Queensland agencies and departments can engage under an established procurement framework.

03

ORIX NZ

Preferred Telematics Partner

Selected by ORIX New Zealand as preferred telematics partner after evaluation across security, data integrity, scalability, and feature depth. Supporting ORIX's enterprise and government fleet customer base.

For Australian local government, Sensium is also listed on the Local Government Procurement (LGP) Fleet Management Services panel. Other AU state and federal panel engagements run per RFQ — talk to us about your specific framework.

Pool & shared vehicles

Cross-department vehicle sharing, done properly.

Government and council fleets sit idle for predictable stretches of the week while other teams buy more vehicles. Sensium Connect+ brings multi-tenancy, cost-centre-aware pool booking, and RFID handover together, so a vehicle used by Parks on Monday and Planning on Tuesday is booked, tracked, and billed back to the right team automatically.

Frequently asked

State and federal questions.

Question 01

Which TRACKbox fits which agency vehicle type?

TB2 is the hard-wired in-vehicle unit for staff cars, utes, trucks, and any powered department vehicle — the cellular-grid workhorse. TB3 is for non-powered agency assets — trailers, generators, environmental monitoring stations — anything without a 12V supply. TB4 is the next-generation unit for agencies operating past cellular coverage, with Direct-to-Cell satellite and LoRa in a single device alongside cellular. All three run the same firmware and report into the same Sensium Connect+ dashboard.

Question 02

How does Sensium handle ISM and ASD Essential Eight compliance?

Sensium engages with federal procurement teams on specific security clearance requirements as part of the RFQ process. The architecture is designed to satisfy ISM-aligned controls and ASD Essential Eight without retrofitting — Australian-Made certified hardware, Australian data residency, encrypted in transit and at rest, role-based access, audit logs. Talk to us about your specific framework and we will walk through the controls mapping.

Question 03

Is the hardware itself Australian-made?

Yes. TRACKbox is designed and manufactured in Australia by Sensium, and holds Australian-Made certification on the hardware. This is the foundation of the sovereign-supply argument — software sovereignty (data on Australian servers) means little if the underlying hardware is offshore-OEM-built and the firmware can be modified without Australian visibility. Sensium owns both.

Question 04

Is Sensium suitable for state government departments?

Yes. The multi-agency tenancy model, cost-centre awareness, and audit-grade reporting that make Sensium suitable for council fleets scale to state and federal department fleets. The architecture supports multi-region deployments across state lines without splitting tenancies.

Question 05

What about federal government fleet data security?

Australian customer data stays on Australian servers. Encrypted in transit and at rest. Role-based access. Audit logs. We engage with federal procurement teams on specific security clearance requirements (ASD Essential Eight, ISM-aligned controls) as part of the RFQ process - the architecture is designed to satisfy these without retrofitting.

Question 06

Can the platform handle multi-region or interstate fleet operations?

Yes. The platform supports vehicles, depots, and operators distributed across multiple regions on a single tenancy, with cost centres rolling up to department-level reporting. For agencies operating across both Australia and New Zealand, data is segregated per country while management views can span both.

Question 07

Is Sensium on government procurement panels?

Yes — three of them. Sensium is appointed to the Queensland Government QFleet Telematics Panel for Queensland state agencies, the New Zealand All-of-Government (AoG) Telematics Panel for NZ government agencies at any tier, and the Local Government Procurement (LGP) Fleet Management Services panel for Australian councils. For other state and federal procurement panels, we engage on a per-RFQ basis — talk to us about your specific procurement framework.

Question 08

Does Sensium support single sign-on with our agency identity provider?

Yes. Connect+ supports single sign-on via Microsoft Entra ID, role-based access control, and audit logs. Agencies manage user access through their existing identity provider, and every action is attributable in the audit trail that procurement and security reviews expect.

Question 09

Can agencies share pool vehicles across departments and bill back to the right cost centre?

Yes. Connect+ brings together multi-tenancy with cost-centre awareness, cross-department permissions, RFID handover, and pool booking. A vehicle used by one team on Monday and another on Tuesday is booked, tracked, and billed back to the correct cost centre automatically - the same primitives extend to cross-department and cross-agency vehicle sharing.

Question 10

How does Sensium keep telemetry running for agency vehicles operating past cellular coverage?

TRACKbox 4 combines 4G LTE with Direct-to-Cell satellite and is built to fail over automatically where the service is available. Direct-to-Cell is live in New Zealand and rolling out in Australia where supported by network availability and plan configuration, with Iridium satellite available for remote Australian coverage today - relevant for agencies with regional offices, remote field teams, or interstate operations beyond the cellular grid.
