What FoxInsights does

FoxInsights GmbH is a Munich-based predictive tank monitoring and service intelligence company founded in 2017 and led by founder and CEO Til Landwehrmann. The company combines certified proprietary sensing hardware — including fourth-generation radar (FoxRadar Gen 4) and pressure (FoxPressure Gen 4) sensors, alongside Hall-effect sensors (FoxHall, Hall Pro, Pressure Ex) — with a centralized software platform (FoxPortal) that uses AI-driven consumption models to forecast when tanks across lubricants, fuels, heating oil, diesel, LPG, used cooking oil, and waste oil applications require service attention. The platform is deployed across distributed tank networks to replace reactive, manual tank checks with forecast-based delivery and collection planning, and is complemented by a mobile companion application (FoxMobile) for field operators.\n\nThe company serves enterprise distributors and operators managing large tank fleets, with publicly referenced customers including Shell, TotalEnergies, Castrol, BayWa, Hoyer, and Certas Energy. FoxInsights operates seven vertical-focused sub-brands — LubesFox, OilFox, DieselFox, UCOFox, RecyclingFox, LPGFox, and PelletFox — each addressing a distinct fluid or solid-fuel distribution use case, indicating a deliberate vertical-specialization strategy. Go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales with 'Request Demo' and 'Talk to a specialist' CTAs and quote-based pricing.\n\nRevenue is generated through two streams: upfront hardware device sales of certified sensors and recurring software platform subscriptions for FoxPortal. The company employs 11–50 people, is privately held as a German GmbH entity, and has no disclosed funding rounds or external investors in the source material.

Core offering

FoxInsights sells a predictive tank monitoring system for fluid distribution operators. It combines certified hardware sensors (radar, pressure, and Hall-effect level sensors) with the FoxPortal software platform that uses AI-driven consumption models to forecast when tanks need refilling or collection, enabling distributors to move from reactive manual checks to forecast-based service timing across lubricant, fuel, heating oil, diesel, UCO, waste oil, and LPG tank networks.

Product overview

FoxInsights is a predictive tank monitoring and service intelligence platform combining certified sensing hardware with a centralized software platform. The product portfolio includes: FoxRadar (Gen 4), FoxPressure (Gen 4), FoxHall, Hall Pro, and Pressure Ex as sensing hardware options for fuel, lubricant, and waste oil environments; and FoxPortal as the core intelligence platform providing real-time visibility, forecast-based service timing, and delivery planning support. FoxMobile serves as the mobile companion module. Together, these products enable distributors managing tank networks across multiple locations to predict service timing and avoid emergency deliveries or last-minute pickups.

Direct peers

• Piusi: Italian-headquartered Piusi manufactures fuel-management hardware (meters, sensors, tank monitors) and fleet-management software for diesel, oil, and AdBlue distributors. It directly overlaps FoxInsights' fuel and lubricant tank-monitoring offering.
• Franklin Fueling Systems: Franklin Fueling Systems provides tank-monitoring consoles, sensors, and inventory management software for petroleum and lubricant distributors. Comparable to FoxInsights in both hardware (level sensors) and software (tank inventory visibility) for fuel distribution.
• Rochester Sensors: Rochester Sensors (including the Gems Sensors legacy) manufactures tank-level and fluid-measurement sensors used in fuel, oil, and chemical tanks. Directly comparable as a level-sensor manufacturer supplying distributors and OEMs serving the same fluid-tank use cases.
• Kingspan Sensor (formerly Kingspan Water & Energy / SENSiT): Kingspan's tank-monitoring products (e.g., SENSiT and Watchman ranges) provide remote level sensing for fuel and heating-oil tanks, often via reseller channels. Directly comparable to FoxInsights' heating-oil and LPG tank-monitoring solutions, especially in European residential/SME channels.
• Otodata (Otodata Wireless Tank Monitoring): Otodata provides wireless tank-level monitoring hardware and a SaaS platform for propane, oil, and chemical distributors across North America. Closely comparable to FoxInsights' LPG, heating-oil, and lubricant tank-monitoring offering on a geographic-comparable basis.
• ATEK Access Technologies (TankScan): ATEK's TankScan line offers wireless tank-level monitoring sensors and a cloud platform for fuel, oil, and chemical tanks. It is the closest direct competitor to FoxInsights' hardware-plus-portfolio model for fluid distribution tank monitoring.

Broad incumbents

• Endress+Hauser: Endress+Hauser is a major supplier of industrial measurement instruments, automation, and tank-level solutions across process industries. Overlaps with FoxInsights' level-sensing and inventory-management capabilities, but as one offering within a much wider instrumentation portfolio.
• Vega Grieshaber (VEGA): VEGA is a global leader in industrial level, pressure, and density measurement instrumentation, including radar and hydrostatic sensors for tank monitoring. Competes with FoxInsights' FoxRadar/FoxPressure hardware but as part of a broader process-automation portfolio.
• Siemens Industrial IoT / MindSphere: Siemens offers industrial connectivity, asset monitoring, and MindSphere-based IoT platforms that can be applied to tank and fleet monitoring for energy and lubricant distributors. A broad incumbent that can compete on integrated industrial-IoT solutions rather than niche tank monitoring.
• ABB Ability: ABB provides industrial automation, instrumentation, and digital asset-monitoring solutions applicable to tank networks at fuel, lubricant, and chemical distributors. Overlaps with FoxInsights as an incumbent with much broader portfolio and global channel reach.
