Business Growth and Global Expansion
In addition to the expansion of its customer base, Fleetmatics has experienced tremendous growth itself over the past 10 years. From modest beginnings in Dublin, Ireland, the company has swelled to having employees on three continents and four countries. Earlier this year, Fleetmatics expanded operations into both Mexico and Australia. It currently has offices in Dublin, London, Sydney, Boston, Chicago, Charlotte, Cleveland, Phoenix and Clearwater, representing a notable growth spurt since its 2004 Irish beginnings.

Customer Milestones
To recognize customer ingenuity and success, Fleetmatics invited customers from around the world to submit stories about how Fleetmatics’ products have made a positive impact on the business to crown a “Story of the Decade” winner. Of 10 finalists, DRF Trusted Property Solutions, a full service plumbing contractor headquartered in Chicagoland, was voted to have the story of the decade, following an online vote.

DRF Trusted Property Solutions installed the Fleetmatics system in 20 vehicles in 2009. Not long after the installation, the company experienced the theft of one of its vehicles from a job site. Besides the cost of the vehicle, thousands of dollars of parts and water heaters were in the truck. The company’s call center manager was able to pull up the Fleetmatics dashboard and work with local police to pinpoint the exact location of the stolen vehicle. After a 45-minute chase, the police quickly found the truck with the thief in the back of the vehicle. According to Kim Anderson, “[that] single incident saved us more than we will spend on our Fleetmatics service for years to come.”

“We strongly value each of the customer relationships we’ve developed over the years,” said Jim Travers, Fleetmatics’ Chairman and CEO. “Our commitment to providing fleet-based businesses with the tools needed to work smarter and more efficiently – as illustrated by our contest entries – has helped our subscription number to reach approximately 523,000 and our number of customers to hit more than 24,000. It’s our goal to continue on this strong growth trajectory in the coming years by maintaining the highest levels of customer service, support and innovation.”

Recent Industry Recognitions
The company was lauded by Berg Insight as the largest provider of fleet management solutions in the Americas in October, awarded the Silver Stevie® Award in the “Fastest Growing Tech Company of the Year – up to 2,500 employees” category in September and named the fleet management technology market leader in terms of vehicle market share by ABI Research in May. Additionally, Fleetmatics won a Stevie Award in February for superior use of technology in customer service.

“Fleetmatics has achieved significant global growth since its founding a decade ago,” said Travers. "It’s been an exciting evolution to watch the company grow from a promising start up into a leading provider of fleet management solutions that has been recognized for its significant growth, market leadership and excellent customer support.”
