[4] Telogis was founded in 2001 by Newth Morris, Jason Koch and Ralph Mason, as a trunked radio hardware and software provider.

Telogis software collects location-based data from embedded and installed hardware in vehicles, as well as from mobile devices.

[16] Telogis also provides a software development kit for users to create location-based mobile and desktop applications.

[17] One of the primary functions of Telogis's software is to provide United States Federal Government mandated hours of service commercial driver activity logs.

Telogis provides a built-in telematics option for several OEMs including Ford, GM,[18] Volvo, Mack, Hino, Isuzu (United States based trucks), and Manitowoc.

The advantages include immediate over-the-air activation when adding new vehicles to their fleet management system and additional data points such as DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) quality, water in the diesel and extra DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) across the body, powertrain and chassis.
