Trakm8 has been developing market-leading telematics solutions since the Company was formed in 2002 and now offer a full telematics package for both the Fleet Management and Insurance markets including route optimisation, cameras, driver behaviour records and live vehicle tracking. As a proven end to end solutions provider, Trakm8 commits substantial reinvestment into researching and developing future generations of hardware and software, as well as developing its Internet of Things solutions and big data capabilities.

The recognition of Trakm8's achievements follows a two year period of rapid growth for the company, led by John Watkins. Following its takeover of Fleet Management system provider BOX Telematics Ltd in October 2013, June of this year saw the acquisition of DCS Systems Ltd, a Cornwall-based camera company which owns the 'RoadHawk ' dash-cam brand and supplies customers such as Volvo Cars, TNT Express and Euro Car Parts. This development has allowed Trakm8 to provide customers with a combined camera and fleet management solution, as well as establishing the foundations for future technological development of integrated cameras and telematics solutions. More recently, December 2015 saw the acquisition of Route Monkey, offering Trakm8 Group with multi-criterion algorithmic solutions, which are used for scheduling, modelling and optimisation of assets in a wide range of sectors including fleet, logistics, energy, and ultra-low emission vehicles.

Trakm8 has expanded its headcount, with a strong emphasis on engineering staff, from under 50 staff 3 years ago to over 200 today. With over 130,000 devices reporting to Trakm8 servers the Group is now one of the largest telematics companies in the UK. Trakm8 Group turnover has grown from £4.8m (2013) to £17.9 (2015)

Due to rapid growth both organically and through acquisition, The Observer ranks Trakm8 as the 6th best share growth over three years, and the 7th best over the last two.

Keith Evans, Non-Executive Director at Trakm8 commented:

'These nominations are a testament to the success of Trakm8's overall strategy and recognition of its technical excellence. The Telematics and M2M markets have experienced strong growth which shows no sign of slowing down, and by investing in the latest technology we are well placed to take advantage of this and being shortlisted for these awards reinforces the strong trajectory the team is embarking on.'
