What ABAX does

ABAX is a Norway-based European telematics company, founded in 2003 and headquartered in Oslo/Larvik with a UK subsidiary in Peterborough, that develops and supplies a Smart Mobility Platform for fleet, equipment, and asset management. Its product suite spans core SaaS applications (ABAX Fleet, ABAX Worksite, ABAX Locator, ABAX Triplog, ABAX Tachograph), add-on modules (ABAX Insurance for usage-based insurance, ABAX Smart Inventory, ABAX Site Operations for RTLS, Trailer Tracking, ABAX Smart Connect for hardware-free OEM data integration, ABAX MobiSense data services), a proprietary hardware family of GPS and Bluetooth trackers (ABAX6S/6M/6L/6U/6O, MINI2, Hub, RFID2, TAT140, F70-PRO dashcam), and mobile apps for drivers and administrators. The platform's technical architecture collects data from ABAX hardware, third-party devices, and 16+ OEM telematics sources (John Deere, Caterpillar, JCB, Volvo, Stihl, Komatsu, Hitachi and others), aggregating it into a cloud-based control plane with 500,000+ connected vehicles and assets.

The company monetizes primarily through 12-month SaaS subscriptions bundled with hardware device sales, supplemented by usage-based insurance revenue and partner mobility data services. Go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct enterprise field sales (Book a Demo / Contact Sales / Request a Quote) with self-serve digital channels, and a partner/OEM distribution layer via Smart Connect integrations. Target verticals include construction, landscaping, utilities, plant hire, facilities management, and transport/logistics, served by 40,000+ customers across 8 European countries (UK, Norway, Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Poland, Belgium). ABAX holds ISO 9001, 14001, and 27001 certifications, publishes an investor relations portal, and has built an M&A track record (Automile 2020, Movolytics 2023, RA Forsikring 2024, Fleet 360 2024) alongside a major funding round in early 2025 (~$81.8M) and continued product launches through 2025.
