What Otodata does
Otodata is a privately held Canadian IoT company founded in 2008 and headquartered in Montréal, Québec. It specializes in remote tank monitoring (RTM) telemetry solutions, deploying connected sensors that allow fuel resellers and propane distributors to track tank levels, optimize delivery routing, and reduce customer run-outs. According to ResearchAndMarkets.com's 8th edition Global Remote Tank Monitoring Market report, Otodata is the dominant player in the RTM market with approximately 3.6 million active units, primarily across North American fuel resellers.
The company's core technology is its IoT telemetry platform, branded as Remote Tank Monitoring (RTM), which enables wireless transmission of tank level data and supports propane truck distribution monitoring. Its product portfolio has expanded through acquisitions and sub-branding: the company acquired Wise Telemetry (April 2021) to strengthen industrial solutions, Wireless Applications Corporation / WACnGO (December 2021) to enter South American and Israeli markets, and Aiut (June 2022) to extend reach into European markets. Otodata also operates the TagTracking sub-brand for tank tracking. The company is positioned as the largest IoT network operator in Canada, though specific pricing models and direct revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
Operationally, Otodata runs as a private firm with 101–250 employees. Its go-to-market targets the propane and fuel reseller vertical, with a hardware-plus-recurring-service revenue model implied by the installed telemetry base. Growth has been driven by acquisition-led geographic expansion rather than disclosed organic revenue metrics, and ownership structure is not publicly disclosed.

Otodata competitors and assessment
Company assessmentEmerging players
- Motive (KeepTruckin): Motive provides AI-driven fleet management and asset tracking for commercial vehicle operators. It is an emerging player building fleet IoT depth that could expand into fuel and tank monitoring adjacencies relevant to Otodata's customers.
- Particle Industries: Particle offers an IoT platform with cellular-connected hardware and a device cloud. It is an emerging player enabling connected-asset and tank-monitoring applications that overlap with the kind of solutions Otodata sells into industrial customers.
Broad incumbents
- Geotab: Geotab is a leading global fleet telematics platform with a massive connected-vehicle footprint. While broader than tank monitoring, its fleet IoT stack and analytics capabilities overlap with Otodata's propane-truck distribution monitoring use cases.
- Trimble Transportation: Trimble offers fleet management, asset tracking, and industrial IoT solutions at scale. Its telematics and asset-monitoring portfolio competes for the same industrial and fuel-distribution customers Otodata serves, albeit as part of a much broader enterprise portfolio.
- Verizon Connect: Verizon Connect bundles fleet telematics and asset tracking on top of Verizon's wireless network. It overlaps with Otodata where fleet operators need vehicle and asset/tank-level visibility in a single platform.
- Samsara: Samsara provides a broad IoT platform spanning fleet telematics, asset monitoring, and industrial sensors. Its asset-monitoring and industrial IoT offerings overlap with Otodata's tank-level and industrial telemetry use cases for fleet operators and industrial customers.
Direct peers
- SkyBitz: SkyBitz provides IoT-based asset and tank tracking solutions for the fuel, propane, and industrial gas industries. It is one of the most direct competitors to Otodata's RTM platform, serving overlapping fuel-reseller and propane-distribution customers.
- Sensile Technologies (Gilbarco Veeder-Root): Sensile Technologies, now part of Gilbarco Veeder-Root, specializes in remote tank telemetry and level measurement for fuel and chemical tanks. It is a close peer in the same RTM niche Otodata dominates, particularly across European and global fuel-retail customers.
Others
- Digi International: Digi International provides IoT connectivity hardware, gateways, and cellular modules used in industrial telemetry. It is an enabling technology peer supplying the kind of infrastructure Otodata relies on for its tank-monitoring network.
- Sierra Wireless (Semtech): Sierra Wireless, now part of Semtech, supplies cellular IoT modules and connectivity platforms used across asset tracking and industrial monitoring. It is an infrastructure-layer peer relevant to Otodata's IoT network operations.
