About Trakm8
Trakm8, the M2M telematics company using Big Data analytics to improve driver behaviour is a leading technology designer, developer and manufacturer of telematics products and solutions.
The Group, based in Shaftesbury, Dorset, distributes its hardware and software through a network of distributors worldwide. In addition the Group provides vehicle monitoring and tracking services direct to the B2B market.Trakm8's IP owned products and services allow vehicles and drivers to be monitored, allowing organisations to manage deliveries and services, or track stolen vehicles down to five metres.
In June 2015, the Group acquired the business and assets of DCS Ltd, who specialise in the design and distribution of camera systems for the motor vehicle, bicycle and security markets. This further strengthens Trakm8's offering into the Telematics marketplace, with the acquisition based on the market's demand for forward facing vehicle cameras to record driving incidents and mitigate the risk from "crash to cash" accidents.
Trakm8's most recent generation of hardware is the T10 product range, which includes a self-install telematics device. The Group's services also include a driver behaviour management solution that reduces fuel consumption by 10% or more and reduces the risk of accidents. This is complemented by a logistics routing and scheduling package, integrated tachograph data reporting facilities, and the ability to read vehicle DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) reducing serviceability downtime.The Group's customers include the AA, St Gobain, EON, Direct Line Group, & Young Marmalade.
