What Trackershopuk does

Trackershop LTD is a UK-based, privately held retailer and installer of GPS vehicle tracking and security products, incorporated in 2007 and headquartered at Riverbank House, 1 Putney Bridge Approach, London (Company Registration No. 07792830). The company sells and distributes a multi-brand portfolio that includes ScorpionTrack, Smartrack, Tracker UK, Meta Trak, Vodafone Automotive, TrackStar and AutoWatch Ghost tracking and immobilisation devices, alongside Thinkware and BlackVue dash cams, magnetic and personal GPS trackers, and its own MoreTrack labelled hardware. Offerings are organised around Thatcham-accredited insurance-approved categories (S5, S7, S5 Plus, CAT 5, CAT 6) and TASSA-approved Ghost immobilisers, which insurers frequently mandate for high-value or high-theft-risk vehicles.

Core technology combines GPS with 2G/4G cellular telemetry, VHF signalling (via Tracker UK products) for locations where GPS is obstructed, CAN-Bus immobilisation (Ghost), Automatic Driver Recognition tags, and a proprietary app and web-based mapping panel that delivers 24/7 real-time monitoring, journey history, geofencing, tamper alerts, and (at S5 Plus tiers) remote engine immobilisation. Trackershop's core operational differentiator is a UK-wide mobile installation network of Thatcham-accredited engineers that provides on-site fitting at customer-specified locations within 1–4 working days, complemented by next-day-delivered self-install OBD and wired units.

The business makes revenue primarily through one-time hardware sales (devices range from £34 for self-install OBD units to £500–£1,000+ for insurance-approved bundled installations), recurring PAYG monitoring subscriptions (from £8.50–£18 per month per tracker, with multi-month plans up to 36 months that include bundled SMS command credits), bundled professional installation services, and additional top-up credit purchases for SMS commands and alerts. The customer base is predominantly individual vehicle owners securing personal cars, supplemented by commercial fleet operators across logistics, postal services, media and consumer brands (the website cites DHL, Royal Mail, UPS, BBC and Red Bull as enterprise references). In January 2026, Trackershop was acquired by Scorpion Group, a Lancashire-based vehicle security business consolidating its position via this deal following its February 2025 acquisition of Trackerteam.
