Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Geotab: Geotab is a leading telematics hardware and platform vendor whose hardware MOBILE installs (Consumers Energy, Avista Energy deployments). Comparable as a partner and overlapping capability provider; Geotab represents both a referral source and a potential vertical integrator of installation services.
• Samsara: Samsara is a fast-growing Connected Operations platform selling telematics gateways, video, and IoT sensors — and MOBILE is one of its preferred installation partners (8,000+ Centuri deployment). Comparable as a strategic partner/partial competitor; Samsara could in theory build or partner differently on installation over time.
• Safety Vision: Safety Vision is a mobile video and fleet safety solutions provider that supplies and installs in-vehicle video systems, including for transit, law enforcement, and commercial fleets. Comparable on the intersection of video system installation and fleet technology integration, serving overlapping public-sector and commercial customer segments.

Broad incumbents

• Holman Enterprises: Holman is a large, established fleet management and automotive services company offering fleet consulting, upfitting, and installation services across commercial and government fleets. Overlaps with MOBILE on fleet technology installation and upfitting, but operates as a much broader incumbent across the full fleet lifecycle.
• Element Fleet Management: Element is one of the largest global fleet management companies providing fleet services, vehicle upfitting, and technology integration for enterprise and government clients. Comparable to MOBILE in delivering large-scale fleet technology rollouts, though Element's business spans financing, leasing, and full lifecycle management well beyond installation services.
• Verizon Connect: Verizon Connect is a major telematics platform that bundles GPS tracking, video, and fleet software — and historically performed or coordinated installation through its Networkfleet heritage. Comparable as a fleet telematics player with installation touchpoints, though Verizon Connect is primarily a software/SaaS incumbent rather than a dedicated installer.
• Donlen: Donlen is a fleet management company offering leasing, telematics integration, and vehicle upfitting services to enterprise and government customers. Comparable as a broad fleet services incumbent that performs large-scale technology installations, though Donlen's core is fleet leasing and management.
• AT&T Fleet Solutions: AT&T provides fleet connectivity solutions including mobile routers, telematics, and managed installation services for enterprise fleets. Comparable as a broad incumbent offering overlapping fleet technology and installation capabilities, though bundled with AT&T's wider connectivity portfolio.

Regional players

• Rush Enterprises: Rush Enterprises is the largest commercial truck dealer network in North America, providing truck sales, service, and upfitting for heavy-duty fleets. Comparable on commercial vehicle technology upfitting and installation services, but primarily serves heavy-duty trucking rather than MOBILE's mixed light/utility/transit/government fleet mix.

Others

• CDWG (Fleet & Mobility Services): CDWG is a major IT reseller that bundles hardware procurement with deployment and installation services, including fleet technology rollouts for school buses, utility trucks, and police vehicles — MOBILE is one of CDWG's channel installation partners. Comparable as an adjacent ecosystem participant that competes in parts of fleet technology deployment.
