IVMS Requirements in Qatar: What Fleets Are Commonly Asked For
A practical checklist for comparing what you've been asked to provide against what an IVMS actually delivers.
The Short Answer
There isn't a single checklist we can hand you. IVMS requirements in Qatar usually come from the party you work for: a client's contract or safety specification, an insurer, or your own company policy.
This guide covers the capabilities such specifications commonly ask for, so you can compare them against what your system provides. It doesn't list specific laws or regulations, so always confirm the exact wording with whoever is asking.
Where IVMS Requirements Come From
- A client's contract or tender specification
- A client's health, safety and environment standards
- Your insurer's conditions
- Your own company fleet policy
Capabilities Commonly Requested
When a specification asks for an IVMS, it typically asks for some or all of the following:
- Real-time vehicle location
- Driver identification for every trip
- Overspeed monitoring and alerts
- Harsh braking, acceleration and cornering detection
- Trip history that can be reviewed later
- Reports, including scheduled reports
- A log of alerts for follow-up and audits
- Alerts if the device is tampered with or disconnected
- Professional installation and ongoing support
How FairDeal's Plans Map to These
The Basic plan covers live location, trip playback for six months, alerts, geofencing, driving behaviour monitoring, reports and scheduled reports. Intermediate adds in-cabin voice monitoring. Advanced adds RFID driver identification, so every trip is logged against a named driver.
If your specification requires driver identification, that means the Advanced plan. If it needs trip records for longer than six months, tell us up front, and note that reports can be exported to PDF or Excel for your own records.
Questions to Ask Before You Buy
- Is driver identification required, or only vehicle tracking?
- How long must trip records be kept?
- What reports are needed, and how often?
- Does the requirement name a specific device or vendor?
- Does the client need access to your tracking data?
- By what date must the vehicles be fitted?

How long is trip history kept?
Trip playback is available for six months. Reports can be exported to PDF or Excel if you need to keep records for longer.
