OpenVTS.io's answer

Open VTS is a self-hosted vehicle tracking platform designed for organizations that want complete ownership of their GPS tracking infrastructure. Unlike many tracking platforms that operate as SaaS services, Open VTS allows businesses to deploy the software on their own servers, maintain full control of their data, customize the platform according to their requirements, and avoid recurring per-vehicle subscription fees. It combines enterprise-grade fleet tracking capabilities with a simplified deployment experience, making advanced GPS tracking more accessible to businesses of all sizes.

Makerkit.dev's answer:

Makerkit stands out by offering a truly modular architecture built with Turborepo, where core features like auth, billing, and notifications live in their own packages for better maintainability.

While most starters lock you into specific patterns or providers, Makerkit gives you flexibility with a multi-account system supporting both B2B and B2C scenarios, provider-agnostic billing, and edge-ready deployment options.

Beyond the basics, it includes production-ready features like multi-factor auth, real-time notifications, and team permissions - all built with Supabase, TypeScript, React Query, and modern tooling to make development a genuine pleasure.

You get a first-class developer experience with TypeScript, React Query, and modern tooling, plus the flexibility to support both B2B and B2C scenarios, different payment providers, and edge deployment options.

Best of all, Makerkit is actively maintained with regular updates and responsive support, so you're building on a foundation that grows with your needs rather than painting yourself into a corner.

OpenVTS.io's answer

Open VTS was created from a simple belief: businesses should own and control the technology that powers their operations.

Many fleet operators and GPS tracking providers rely on platforms that limit customization, create vendor dependency, and require ongoing subscription costs. Open VTS was built to offer an alternative—a platform that gives organizations complete ownership of their vehicle tracking infrastructure.

The vision behind Open VTS is to make enterprise-grade GPS tracking accessible, customizable, and deployable by organizations that want freedom, security, and long-term control over their fleet technology.

OpenVTS.io's answer

Open VTS does not publicly publish a verified list of its largest customers.

If customer references become publicly available, they should be listed here. Until then, it is best not to claim specific organizations as customers without explicit public permission or published case studies.

No publicly disclosed enterprise customer list is currently available.
