Quick answer: Matrix is the consumer vehicle tracking brand of MiX by Powerfleet (formerly MiX Telematics). It sells Beame wireless recovery from R99 a month, hardwired live tracking (Silver R219, Gold R299) and the new Matrix Vision dashcam from R359 a month.

Who is Matrix?

Matrix Vehicle Tracking has protected South African vehicles for many years. It is part of MiX Telematics, a Midrand-based telematics company that merged with US-based Powerfleet in 2024; the business now trades as MiX by Powerfleet. The same company sells Beame, which is why you will see searches such as “matrix beame” or “matrix tracking beame”.
