Fleetmatics Brings a New Choice in Fleet Management to Service Businesses in Australia

AUSTRALIA – January 16, 2014 – Fleetmatics Group PLC (NYSE: FLTX), a leading global provider of fleet management solutions for commercial fleet vehicles delivered as software-as-a-service (SaaS), today announced it has opened an office in Australia, and as such, will provide fleet-based businesses in the country with a new choice in fleet management technology. The timing of the launch comes as petrol prices throughout the region continue to climb with local economists noting the start-of-year price increase is the biggest the nation has seen since 2004.[1]

With nearly ten years of proven experience in providing workforce productivity solutions for commercial fleets, Fleetmatics provides businesses an unprecedented level of fleet control and productivity. Its 20,000-plus customers are empowered to significantly increase mobile workforce and fleet productivity, safety and security, while decreasing costs related to fuel consumption, unauthorised use, payroll discrepancies and more. Currently installed in over 417,000 vehicles worldwide, Fleetmatics helps reduce operating and capital costs while boosting revenues for fleet-driven businesses in virtually any industry.

“Officially expanding into Australia was a natural move for Fleetmatics on the heels of our August 2013 acquisition of Connect2Field, a Sydney-based provider of field service software,” said Jim Travers, Fleetmatics CEO and Chairman of the Board. “The launch comes at the same time as our expansion into the Netherlands, both of which deliver on our goal to continue to grow the business via global expansion and new partnerships.”

“We selected Fleetmatics after a review of several commercial fleet telematics solutions, because of the unprecedented level of visibility and control it provides," said Darren Linney, Chief Operating Officer,Formway Group Ltd, a Queensland-based metering company. "Further, given that the company already has a hand in the Australian market from its acquisition and long history of proven technology, we were confident in their ability to deliver superior service -- and to empower us to deliver that same level of service to our own customers."

The timing of the Australia launch could not be more suitable for local fleet-based businesses, as the country is experiencing a steep incline in petrol prices. According to the Australian Institute of Petroleum, petrol prices have spiked six cents per litre since the year began. Economists warn motorists to expect further increases yet.
