Geotab, a global transportation solutions provider, has teamed up with Synop, an electric vehicle (EV) operations platform, to offer a comprehensive and integrated solution for managing EV charging and energy management. This partnership allows fleet operators in North America to benefit from the combined insights of both Synop’s software and Geotab’s data.
The integration will enable customers to manage their EV assets in real-time on a single, unified platform, eliminating the need for additional hardware or installation. This is particularly important for fleets that face several challenges when integrating EVs, including energy price volatility, prolonged charge cycles, and multiple charging requirements.

With this integration, fleet operators can easily anticipate when vehicles are expected to be fully charged, gauge necessary energy required for upcoming trips, evaluate expenses associated with fueling up, and gain insights into the energy efficiency of each vehicle, all within their existing telematics platform.
The partnership also offers customers access to vehicle-to-grid (V2G) support and energy time of use rates, giving them even more control and flexibility. Synop is designed to support all commercial EV types and charging infrastructures, and offers interoperability across mixed-fuel fleets.
Geotab’s VP of Sustainability Solutions, Eric Mallia, said, “At Geotab, sustainability is core to our purpose. Actionable data insights and sustainable customer solutions are essential as we transition to a low-carbon future. We’re thrilled to add Synop’s solution to our sustainability ecosystem, supporting our customers to better manage their EV fleet, reduce costs, and improve operational efficiency.”
