Geotab

What Geotab does

Geotab is a private, founder-controlled commercial telematics company founded in 2000 by Neil Cawse and headquartered in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. It provides fleet management software and hardware to more than 100,000 customers across 160 countries, with a connected base of over 6 million vehicles and a daily data processing volume of roughly 100 billion data points. The company is widely recognized as the #1 commercial telematics provider globally (ABI Research) and operates a growing engineering presence in Atlanta, Georgia, with a new engineering center scheduled to open in Madison Heights, Michigan in May 2026.

The core platform consists of the GO device family of hardware telematics units, the IOX accessory ecosystem (e.g., GO Focus Plus/Pro AI dashcams, EV battery sensors), and the MyGeotab cloud platform. AI/ML capabilities include the Geotab Ace generative-AI assistant, computer vision for video telematics, predictive maintenance models, and EV battery health analytics developed in partnership with Bosch. The June 2026 launch of the Geotab MCP Connector further exposes fleet data to third-party AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot. Security and compliance posture is enterprise- and government-grade, with ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type II, FedRAMP Moderate, and FIPS 140-3 certifications supporting regulated and public-sector deployments.

Geotab generates revenue primarily through per-vehicle, per-month SaaS subscriptions, complemented by hardware sales and professional services. Go-to-market is multi-channel: product-led self-serve for small fleets, a network of 700+ resellers and technology partners, OEM-embedded telematics (Toyota Connected, Polestar, Hyundai, Daimler Truck NA, Caterpillar), and enterprise field sales into large logistics and public-sector accounts. The company is bootstrapped, profitable, and founder-controlled, with no external funding dependence disclosed.
