Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Teltonika: Lithuanian manufacturer of GPS tracking devices whose FMM920 Followit resells; relevant as an upstream supplier and direct competitor in the OEM GPS tracker space Followit operates in.

Broad incumbents

• Garmin: Global consumer electronics giant whose Alpha and Astro series directly compete with Followit's Lafayette GPS hunting dog trackers; Garmin also offers livestock and fleet tracking products, making it the broadest comparable incumbent across Followit's three verticals.
• Geotab: Major fleet telematics provider offering GPS vehicle tracking and equipment monitoring subscriptions; directly comparable to Followit's transport/security business but focused on enterprise fleet customers.
• Samsara: US-listed enterprise IoT platform for fleet and asset tracking with subscription telematics; competes with Followit's Contact Security and Teltonika-based transport vertical but at a vastly larger enterprise scale.

Emerging players

• Catapult Sports: Provider of athlete and asset wearable GPS tracking technology; comparable to Followit's animal-worn GPS hardware and platform approach, though focused on elite sports rather than livestock/hunting.
• Findster Technologies: GPS pet tracker company offering subscription-free dog and cat trackers; competes with Followit's Lafayette line at the consumer end of the connected pet tracking market.

Direct peers

• Afimilk: Israeli provider of dairy farm and livestock monitoring solutions including activity, rumination, and heat-detection sensors; closely comparable to Followit's Pellego product line targeting livestock health and mortality monitoring.
• Tractive: Austrian-founded DTC leader in GPS pet trackers with a subscription-based model; competes most directly with Followit's hunting-dog and broader connected pet/livestock tracking value proposition, particularly in Europe.
• Allflex Livestock Intelligence (Merck Animal Health): Global market leader in livestock identification and monitoring (ear tags, activity sensors); directly comparable to Followit's Pellego livestock tracking collars and represents the dominant scale player in Followit's livestock vertical.

Regional players

• Tempest Security AB: Swedish security services provider that operates the alarm central integrated with Followit's Contact Security GPS trackers; comparable as a regional security/asset monitoring partner with overlapping customer base.
