What Capte does

Capte develops, produces, and integrates IoT telematics solutions for fleet operators and industrial asset owners. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Versailles, France, with additional offices in Amsterdam and Los Angeles, the company serves more than 110 clients globally across public transit, commercial fleets, electric vehicle operations, and industrial equipment. Its core proposition is deep vehicle-level data capture: the proprietary WeCapte v6x telemetry device reads CAN bus, Ethernet, RS232/485, and analog inputs across J1939, Modbus, and CANopen protocols, while the CAN-Guard Probe captures CAN bus data non-invasively without physical contact, preserving OEM warranties and cybersecurity integrity. This hardware layer feeds the Capte Portal software platform, a modular suite comprising Entry (full vehicle data access), Diag (real-time diagnostics and predictive maintenance), Eco-Line (route-contextualized driver scoring), Eco-Fleet (executive analytics), and Depot (yard and EV charging management). Together these modules address unplanned downtime, mixed-fleet complexity (diesel, electric, hydrogen), and the operational visibility gap that conventional GPS-only telematics cannot close, with particular emphasis on electric vehicle battery health, charging behavior, and energy consumption.

The company monetizes through a combination of hardware sales (WeCapte v6x and CAN-Guard Probe), recurring software subscriptions for its portal modules, and managed IoT connectivity services with multi-profile eSIM. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, structured around enterprise annual contracts with deployment scope ranging from approximately 30 assets to large multi-site fleets. Go-to-market is a sales-led enterprise field motion with consultative engagement, supported by content marketing, demo CTAs, and a 24-hour specialist follow-up process. Customers include tier-1 European transit operators and industrial OEMs such as RATP-Dev, Keolis, Transdev, Regionalverkehr Köln, Quantron, Eurabus, MAN, Valeo, Motul, and Eaton. The company is privately held, self-funded, and reinvests a meaningful share of revenue into R&D rather than relying on institutional venture capital.

Core offering

Capte sells an IoT telematics platform for fleet management and vehicle health monitoring, combining proprietary hardware devices (WeCapte v6x data collector and CAN-Guard Probe) with a modular software suite (Entry, Diag, Eco-Line, Eco-Fleet, Depot) that captures high-resolution CAN bus, sensor, and operational data from mixed diesel, electric, and hydrogen fleets. The platform delivers predictive maintenance, driver efficiency scoring, depot and EV charging management, and integrates with ERP, planning tools, and public APIs for transit operators and commercial fleet customers worldwide.

Product overview

Capte offers a modular IoT telematics platform combining hardware devices and software modules. The core hardware includes the WeCapte v6x telemetry device (multi-interface data collector with LTE-M/NB-IoT connectivity) and the CAN-Guard Probe (wireless non-intrusive CAN bus monitor). The software portfolio consists of five integrated modules: Entry (full vehicle data access/telematics), Diag (real-time diagnostics and predictive maintenance), Eco-Line (driver efficiency scoring), Eco-Fleet (executive-level fleet analytics), and Depot (depot/EV charging management). All modules are designed to work independently or as a unified platform via the Capte Portal centralized hub, with integration to ERP systems, planning tools, and public APIs.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• WeCapte v6x Next-generation IoT telemetry hardware device engineered to capture, decode, and deliver every signal across any vehicle or equipment type. Supports CAN bus, Ethernet, RS232/485, and analog inputs with J1939, Modbus, and CANopen protocols. Features LTE-M and NB-IoT connectivity with multi-profile eSIM, ultra-low-power microcontroller for key-off monitoring, and precision positioning (sub-meter outdoor, centimeter-level indoor with UWB add-on). Sold to enterprise fleet operators and transit agencies as the data collection foundation of the Capte platform.
• CAN-Guard Probe Non-invasive CAN bus monitoring device that captures data emitted as radiowaves from CAN bus wires, providing read-only access to any CAN bus network without physical contact, wire splicing, or warranty impact. R10 certified for EMC compliance, preserving OEM warranty integrity and eliminating cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Designed for fleet operators and transit agencies requiring warranty-safe, non-intrusive vehicle data access.
• Depot Depot monitoring software module for mixed bus fleets (electric and diesel) that unifies vehicle status, charger health, and parking activity in a single dashboard. Provides remote charger control, precision indoor/outdoor positioning via UWB and GPS, and real-time diagnostics on charger faults and battery health. Targeted at depot operations teams managing EV charging infrastructure and yard activity for transit and commercial fleets.
• Eco-Fleet Executive-level analytics software module that aggregates fleet-wide data into strategic intelligence. Provides a company-level view of operational performance, energy consumption, and emissions across the entire organization for strategic decision-making. Designed for C-suite and executive stakeholders at fleet operating companies needing consolidated, organization-wide fleet KPIs.
• Eco-Line Driver efficiency scoring software module that evaluates performance based on actual route challenges rather than generic benchmarks. Tracks energy and emission costs per route, deadhead expenses, and supports targeted driver coaching across diesel, electric, CNG, or mixed fleets. Built for fleet operations and driver coaching teams seeking to improve fuel/energy efficiency and reduce emissions through route-contextualized scoring.
• Diag Real-time diagnostics and failure detection software module built for maintenance workshops. Processes telemetry data (pressures, temperatures, speeds) from WeCapte v6x into actionable insights with instant anomaly alerts, telemetry playback for root cause analysis, and predictive component health monitoring for engines, SCR systems, brake pads, transmissions, and batteries. Targeted at maintenance and workshop teams responsible for vehicle repair and preventive service.
• Entry Telematics software module providing full access to all vehicle operational data beyond basic GPS tracking. Retrieves all vehicle parameters including non-standard and proprietary CAN bus data for lane-level positioning and real-time EV battery monitoring. Serves as the foundational data-access layer for the Capte platform, feeding downstream modules with complete vehicle telemetry for fleet operators and transit agencies.
