BUSINESS REVIEW
SUBSCRIBER BASE
Our Telematics business continued to perform strongly in 2015.
We saw strong growth in our subscriber base reaching 605,000
subscriptions at the end of 2015, a 30% growth compared with
last year. Telematics now serves more than 40,000 customers
worldwide.
Our strong growth was achieved through a combination of
organic growth and the acquisition of Finder S.A., the leading
Polish fleet management service provider. This acquisition added
over 60,000 subscriptions to our active installed base and
enables us to further strengthen our market position in one of
the fastest growing telematics markets in Europe.
In December, WEBFLEET was launched in Mexico and Chile in
order to capitalise on two emerging South American markets.
This launch is built on the infrastructure previously owned by
Coordina, which was acquired by TomTom in 2013. It will allow
operators in these countries, particularly medium-sized
companies, to use WEBFLEET to improve operational efficiency.
AWARD-WINNING INNOVATION
In 2015, Telematics has been recognised as Europe’s largest and
fastest-growing provider of fleet management solutions by Berg
Insight. A strong product portfolio, with WEBFLEET at its centre,
has been key to our market-leading success. Continuous
innovation ensures customers benefit from a market-leading
fleet management software that is adaptable and future-proof.
The market-leading position of WEBFLEET has been recognised
with a series of awards, including Best Commercial Vehicle
Systems Integrator at the global TU-Automotive Awards and the
Safety Innovation Award from UK charity Brake. Availability and
confidentiality are essential. WEBFLEET complies with ISO 27001
certified standards of information confidentiality, integrity and
availability.
