The company’s products and services provide enterprise fleets, small fleets and consumers with solutions for safety, efficiency, compliance and security. Using the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery model, MiX Telematics delivers its solutions to customers in more than 120 countries, across 6 continents. Over 700,000+ mobile assets – from trucks and buses, to vans, cars, motorbikes and trailers – are actively managed by MiX Telematics. In addition to employing more than 1000 people, MiX Telematics has a network of more than 130 fleet partners world-wide. The company has offices in South Africa, the United Kingdom, the United States, Uganda, Brazil, Australia and the United Arab Emirates. MiX Telematics shares are publicly traded on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE: MIX) and on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: MIXT). MiX Telematics’ strategy is to leverage its profitable, cash generative business by expanding its recurring revenue model through the company’s worldwide distribution network. With significant critical mass, a global footprint, a large subscriber base and a history of operating successfully in international markets, MiX Telematics is ideally positioned to take advantage of significant international and local growth opportunities. The listing of MiX Telematics in 2007 marked the birth of a new global leader in the vehicle tracking and fleet management industry. The company’s standing as a global player today is the result of a culmination of numerous business successes, key leadership and expertise, and decisions of strategic value. The business started out in South Africa in 1995 as Matrix Vehicle Tracking, a consumer-facing business focused on superior vehicle recovery and personal safety; services were delivered using cutting edge GSM–based tracking technology. Matrix soon became one of the leading vehicle tracking and stolen vehicle recovery service providers in South Africa, and the first to emphasise the safety of the individual as opposed to the vehicle – a value the company still applies fully today. While Matrix Vehicle Tracking was growing its consumer-base in South Africa, another South African business known as Omnibridge was gaining significant ground in the international commercial fleet management market. Omnibridge, which was founded as CI Fleet Management, was responsible for the design and development of the Siemens VDO Fleet Manager (FM) product range. The product range was branded VDO Fleet Manager and sold by Siemens worldwide.
