State of Connecticut Renews Fleet Management Partnership with Geotab and Advantage One Technologies to Deliver Advanced Automation Solutions

The State of Connecticut Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Fleet Operations has renewed its partnership with Geotab and Advantage One Technologies to manage its 3,600-vehicle fleet. This agreement introduces a suite of custom-engineered automation tools designed to streamline operational and compliance tasks for over 90 state agencies. By leveraging advanced telematics, the state aims to optimize efficiency and reduce costs for a fleet that logs approximately 30 million miles annually.

The renewed contract between the State of Connecticut and Geotab, in collaboration with reseller partner Advantage One Technologies, focuses on the deployment of specialized automation software tailored to the state's unique operational needs. The Connecticut DAS Fleet Operations leases more than 3,600 vehicles to over 90 agencies, which collectively drive 30 million miles each year across multiple shifts. To manage this scale, the partnership has integrated tools that automate previously manual and time-consuming tasks, including fuel record management, maintenance data tracking, and state-mandated reporting.

Ronald Johnson, Fleet Repair Supervisor for DAS Fleet Operations, stated that these automation tools allow staff to move away from tedious paperwork and focus on asset health, safety, and reliability. Neil Garrett, Geotab’s Vice President of Business Development for Government, added that state administrative fleets often operate under specific regulatory and union frameworks that standard tools cannot address out of the box. By utilizing Geotab's open platform, the partnership has converted these compliance hurdles into automated background processes, freeing up valuable state resources.

This agreement further solidifies Geotab's role as a major telematics provider for government entities, as the company already serves as the standard for many state DOTs and the U.S. federal fleet. Geotab currently connects approximately 6 million vehicles worldwide and processes 100 billion data points daily, maintaining high-level security certifications such as FedRAMP and ISO/IEC 27001:2022. For the broader fleet management industry, this renewal underscores the shift toward customized, data-driven solutions that address the specific administrative burdens of large-scale public sector operations.
