If you run a logistics company, delivery service, or transport operation in Singapore, government grants can help you pay for GPS tracking, fleet telematics, and transport management software — without buying the wrong system or paying out of pocket first.
Two grants matter most: PSG covers up to 50% of pre-approved fleet management software (capped at S$30,000), and EDG funds larger logistics transformation projects. This guide walks through which grant fits what, the pre-approved telematics options, and how to apply.
Scenario
Who: Logistics company with delivery fleet
What: Implementing GPS tracking and fleet management
Grants: PSG (primary), EDG (conditional)

| Transport + freight management software | PSG | Pre-approved logistics and transport management systems | Automate job scheduling, route planning, and delivery tracking |

How to apply for logistics fleet grants (step by step)
- Identify the biggest pain point (1 week) — manual tracking, fuel waste, no visibility on driver behaviour, missed deliveries
- Decide fleet management vs. transport management (1 week) — GPS telematics is for vehicle tracking; transport management is for job scheduling, route planning, and freight operations
- Shortlist a PSG package (1-2 weeks) — confirm the exact vendor + package is on the PSG catalogue under “Fleet Management” or “Transport Management”
- Get 2-3 quotes (1-2 weeks) — ask for a clear breakdown: hardware (GPS units), software subscription, installation, training
- Apply before paying (same week) — submit via Business Grants Portal; do not pay deposits or sign contracts that count as commitment
- Implement after Letter of Offer (4-10 weeks) — install GPS devices, configure geofencing zones, set up driver alerts, train dispatchers
- Use EDG only when needed — for bigger transformations (multi-depot scaling, warehouse automation, deep process redesign)
Expected Outcomes
- Lower fuel costs through route optimisation and idle-time monitoring
- Improved delivery accuracy with real-time GPS tracking
- Fewer vehicle breakdowns via automated maintenance scheduling
- Better driver safety scores from behaviour monitoring and alerts
- Reduced admin time by replacing manual logs with automated reports
Logistics grant eligibility requirements
For both primary grants, your company must:
- Be registered and operating in Singapore
- Have minimum 30% local shareholding
- Meet SME size limits (group annual sales ≤ S$100M or ≤200 employees)

Common mistakes logistics companies make when applying
-
Paying for GPS hardware before applying
-
PSG/EDG do not support retrospective applications; get quotes first, then submit via Business Grants Portal before making any payment
-
Confusing fleet management with transport management
-
Fleet management covers GPS tracking and telematics for vehicles; transport management covers job scheduling, routing, and freight operations — pick the category that matches your actual need
-
Over-specifying when a basic tracker will do
-
If you only need location tracking and driver alerts, start with a budget-friendly option like Ascent iSPOT or V3Nity-FMS; add advanced features later
Other PSG categories to consider
Logistics companies often also benefit from:
- Accounting and ERP solutions — automate invoicing, job costing, and financial reporting
- HR and HRMS solutions — manage driver rosters, leave, and payroll
- Cybersecurity solutions — protect fleet data, customer information, and business systems

Frequently asked questions
Can logistics companies use PSG for fleet tracking?
Yes. Fleet management and telematics solutions have their own dedicated category in the PSG catalogue. There are 7 pre-approved fleet management solutions ranging from S$360 to S$5,426 in qualifying cost.
How much grant funding can a logistics company get?
PSG covers up to 50% of qualifying costs, capped at S$30,000 per company per year (1 Apr - 31 Mar). For fleet telematics alone, net costs can be as low as S$180 after grant. EDG provides additional funding for larger transformation projects.
What is the difference between fleet management and transport management in PSG?
Fleet management solutions focus on GPS tracking, telematics, and driver monitoring — they tell you where your vehicles are and how they are being driven. Transport management solutions cover job scheduling, route planning, and freight operations — they help you plan and execute deliveries. Choose based on your primary pain point.
Do I need to install GPS hardware on every vehicle?
Most fleet management solutions require a GPS tracking device per vehicle. The hardware cost is typically included in the qualifying cost listed in the PSG catalogue. Confirm with the vendor what hardware is included in their quoted package.
