What CLS Mobility does

CLS Mobility (legal entity: COLLECTE LOCALISATION SATELLITES) is a French connected-fleet-management and telematics provider operating as a subsidiary of CNES, the French Space Agency. Founded in 1986 and headquartered in Ramonville-Saint-Agne near Toulouse, the company employs approximately 900 people across 34 sites and serves customers in 120+ countries. It is organized around three vertical solution lines: HUMANAV for humanitarian fleet management (track-and-trace, safety, fuel monitoring, maintenance, car-sharing), EAZY COLLECTE for municipal and private waste-collection operations (route optimization, bin identification via TRACITY RFID, NAVDROID driver tablet, EAZYDROID mobile app), and Trailermatics/EAZYTRACK for transport and non-powered-asset telematics.

The technology stack combines proprietary hardware (GPS trackers, NAVDROID tablets, TRACITY RFID readers) with a multi-module software platform that includes a Universal Data Integrator aggregating feeds from heterogeneous telematics sources. Go-to-market is primarily direct enterprise sales supplemented by OEM and service-channel partners (Continental, Fruehauf, Euromaster, Dhollandia, Sensolus, Fleet Forum). Revenue is generated through software subscriptions, hardware sales, professional/optimization services, and maintenance contracts, with named customers spanning Veolia, SUEZ, Urbaser, Derichebourg, PAPREC, multiple French metropoles, Samat Group, and humanitarian agencies including the UN system and Sightsavers.
