Overview
Astrata was created in 2004 through the purchase, consolidation, integration and re-branding of three GPS and telematics companies.

Originally, based in South Africa, the company has grown by incorporating new technologies into its product range. On the back of a landmark contract for HAZMAT monitoring in Singapore, the company expanded into Asia where it is now headquartered. Today, Astrata’s location-based products and services are sold globally from offices in the US, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. These products and services are used by companies, governments and institutions throughout the world to monitor, trace and control the movement and status of personnel, vehicles, machinery or other assets.
