What UnipolTech does

UnipolTech S.p.A. is the technology company of Gruppo Unipol, wholly owned by Unipol S.p.A. and headquartered in Bologna, Italy. Founded in 2016 as AlfaEvolution Technology and rebranded in July 2021, the company specializes in telematics and electronic toll collection (telepedaggio) solutions for the Italian automotive and insurance markets. Its core product portfolio centers on the Unibox family of onboard satellite IoT devices (SuperEasy, Full, Safe, Smart Drive, and the new Smart Move launched December 2025), the UnipolMove telepedaggio platform (2.4+ million devices in circulation, 95+ million highway transits processed), and adjacent consumer IoT products including Qshino (child anti-abandonment) and Tracker Pet (pet GPS). The company's technology stack processes 90+ million data points daily from 3.7+ million installed devices, running proprietary AI algorithms including Crash Validator (99.9% efficiency on 190,000 annual claims), RoadSafeAI (95%+ accuracy on road safety prediction), and a patented Green Box emission calculation algorithm.

UnipolTech operates a B2B2C business model with revenue from hardware sales, recurring telematics service subscriptions to insurance partners, and per-transaction fees on tolling and mobility services. Distribution is primarily through Gruppo Unipol's agency network (the largest in Italy) and partner insurance carriers including Linear, Arca Assicurazioni, BeRebel, and Poste Italiane (Poste-Linear), with direct-to-consumer channels for UnipolMove via mobile app. In September 2025, the company expanded into public administration through MoVe-In operator accreditation in four Italian regions. Enterprise fleet management (Km&Servizi Fleet, VEDR) provides a secondary B2B sales channel. The company operates from offices in Bologna, Milan, and Turin with 154 employees, and holds ISO 9001, ISO 27001, SIT/SET telepedaggio authorization, and registration in the Albo Autotrasportatori.

Core offering

UnipolTech S.p.A. designs, manufactures, and operates telematics hardware and software platforms used by insurance companies and corporate fleet operators to collect, transmit, and analyze vehicle driving data. Its portfolio includes the Unibox telematics device family, the UnipolMove electronic toll collection device and service, the Qshino/Tracker Pet GPS pet tracker, the Km&Servizi mileage-based services, and the MoVe-In green-light verification platform deployed with Italian regional administrations.

Product overview

UnipolTech operates a platform-plus-products architecture spanning two core domains: telematics and electronic toll collection (telepedaggio). The telematics product line centres on the Unibox family of onboard satellite IoT devices (Unibox, Unibox Smart Drive, Unibox Smart Move, Unibox Safe, SuperEasy 2Ruote), which provide vehicle monitoring, crash detection, driving assistance, and insurance-telematics services such as Km&Servizi. The telepedaggio and mobility platform is UnipolMove — combining an onboard tolling device with a mobile app that also covers parking (affiliated lots, blue stripe), Area C Milano, ferry tickets (Caronte & Tourist), and roadside assistance. Adjacent consumer products include Qshino (child anti-abandonment device) and Tracker Pet (pet GPS tracker). The MoVe-In service integrates with regional smart mobility schemes. All telematics products connect to a shared data platform processing over 90 million data points daily from 3.7+ million managed devices.

Scale indicators14 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights7 records

Broad incumbents

• Trimble Transportation: Global provider of fleet management, telematics, and mobility software for enterprise fleets and logistics. Overlaps with UnipolTech's B2B fleet proposition (Km&Servizi Fleet, VEDR), with a substantially larger global enterprise footprint.
• Webfleet (Bridgestone): European fleet telematics and connected mobility platform owned by Bridgestone. Comparable in fleet management subscriptions, telematics data analytics, and OEM-grade integrations, with a broad European dealer footprint.
• Verizon Connect: Large North-American and global telematics/fleet management provider combining hardware, software, and connectivity. Comparable to UnipolTech's fleet and telematics propositions, with broader geographic reach and a more diversified enterprise go-to-market.
• Geotab: Global connected vehicle and fleet telematics platform with millions of subscribed vehicles. Comparable in telematics data scale, AI-driven fleet insights, and integration with insurance and mobility partners, though focused primarily on fleet rather than consumer UBI.
• Samsara: US-listed IoT platform combining telematics, video-based safety, and asset tracking across fleets and operations. Overlaps with UnipolTech's telematics and RoadSafeAI computer vision capabilities, though operating at global enterprise scale rather than Italian insurance-embedded focus.
• Vodafone Automotive (Cobra): European telematics and connected car services provider with strong insurance telematics and stolen vehicle recovery heritage (ex-Cobra Automotive). Comparable to UnipolTech in insurance telematics propositions and OEM/insurance partnerships across multiple European markets.

Direct peers

• Telepass: Italy's dominant electronic toll collection and mobility services provider, owned within the Atlantia/Autostrade ecosystem. Direct competitor to UnipolMove in telepedaggio and adjacent mobility services (parking, urban access), with a far larger incumbent customer base.
• Octo Telematics: Italian-headquartered insurance telematics and connected mobility specialist, historically a direct competitor in usage-based insurance telematics and crash analytics. Overlaps with UnipolTech's Unibox/Crash Validator proposition and serves global insurance carriers with comparable telematics propositions.
• Targa Telematics: Italian listed fleet telematics and smart mobility platform serving corporate fleets and insurance partners across Europe. Directly comparable in IoT telematics, fleet management solutions, and partnership with UnipolTech itself.
• Viasat Group: Italian vehicle telematics, anti-theft, and fleet management provider with deep insurance and OEM relationships. Comparable to UnipolTech in hardware-centric telematics for insurance and stolen-vehicle recovery use cases.
