What EROAD does
EROAD is a New Zealand-headquartered transportation technology company, listed on the NZX (ticker: ERD) and ASX, founded in 2000 with a workforce of 251-500 employees. The company provides road charging, tax, compliance, and commercial fleet management services to heavy and light commercial vehicle operators, with a near-monopoly position in the New Zealand electronic Road User Charge (eRUC) market: 86% heavy eRUC and 85% light eRUC market share by dollar value in 2024, and over NZD 6.7 billion in RUC processed for NZTA cumulatively. Its platform combines GNSS/cellular in-vehicle hardware (Ehubo2, CoreHub Trailer, ETrack G70/Oyster 3/Where Tags, EROAD Locate OBD2 tracker, Iridium satellite modem) with the MyEROAD cloud platform and a broad add-on module library covering RUC compliance (AutoRUC, Automated Off-Road Claims), driver safety (Day Logbook, Drive Buddy, Inspect, Leaderboard), fleet operations (Fuel Management, Idle Reports, BookIt, Sustainability Module), and AI-powered video telematics (Clarity Dashcam line including the February 2026-launched Clarity Edge Multicam with up to six camera angles).
The business operates a subscription-based revenue model, with 94.8% of FY2026 revenue (NZD 195.2 million) coming from recurring hardware-plus-software subscriptions, supplemented by transaction fees on RUC purchases processed as an NZTA Industry Agent. Distribution combines a direct enterprise sales team, a network of 60+ certified installers across New Zealand, an inside sales motion for mid-market accounts, and a self-serve product (EROAD Locate starting at NZD 19/month) for the small-fleet long tail. Major channels also include the annual Fleet Day conference (1,200+ attendees in its 10th year) and a growing ecosystem of partnerships spanning HERE Technologies (vehicle-aware navigation), Geotab (NHVR-compliant heavy vehicle solutions in Australia), Whip Around and FleetPal (maintenance), Snowflake (analytics), NZI (insurance Safe Driving Rewards), Mobil (fuel card), and a five-year, ~NZD 5 million/year Cleanaway Waste Management contract covering 3,000+ Australian heavy vehicles.
EROAD is mid-transition. In October 2025, the company announced a strategic shift away from its North American market (where ARR had declined 20%) to refocus on Australia and New Zealand, with co-CEO David Kenneson resigning, Mark Heine becoming sole CEO, John Scott appointed Executive Chair, and an expected non-cash impairment of up to NZD 150 million tied to North American operations. Normalized EBIT fell 70.7% to NZD 2.9 million in FY2026 as the company invests in an 18-month transformation program, while disclosed technical metrics remain industry-leading at 99.98% service uptime and ±0.5% distance accuracy.
