What AirIQ does

AirIQ Inc. is a Canadian micro-cap technology company (TSXV:IQ) founded in 1997 and headquartered in Pickering, Ontario, that develops and operates a wireless fleet management and asset tracking platform. The platform combines GPS tracking, telematics, and AI-powered video analytics delivered through a cloud-based management application accessible via web and mobile. AirIQ's hardware portfolio includes the IQ-CAM AI dashcam (4K, dual-lens, MV+AI distracted driving detection), IQ-OBD (LTE CAT-M1/NB-IoT OBD-II diagnostics), IQ-Wired (hardwired tracker with starter disable and panic button), IQ-BAT (10-year battery-powered asset tracker), IQ ELD (HOS compliance), and add-on modules for tool tracking, lone worker safety, cargo, tire, and location management. Underlying software capabilities include computer vision for driver behavior, anomaly detection on sensor data, and predictive analytics for maintenance and route optimization. The company's customer base spans trucking and transportation, trades and field services, healthcare transport, vehicle rental, and food and beverage distribution, with named integration partnerships into Fleetio, Tucker Tools, Nektyd, Jonas Construction Software, and B2W Software.

AirIQ generates revenue primarily through recurring subscription fees for its fleet management software, supplemented by hardware device sales. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with a stated "no contracts" positioning and three implicit tiers for small (1-10 vehicles), mid-market (11-500), and enterprise (500+) fleets. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, inside sales with a multi-step demo/quote process, an affiliate/reseller program, and 24/7 toll-free phone lead capture, complemented by content marketing (blog, glossary) and an NHRA motorsports sponsorship with GESi. The company is led by co-founders John Carter (CEO) and Sophie Moore (CTO), supported by VPs of Marketing, Design, Product, and Sales, with a headcount of 11-50 employees.

Financially, AirIQ is small but operationally inflecting: Q3 2026 revenue of CA$1.71 million was up 31% year-over-year, with net income of CA$103,000 (up 268% YoY) and net margin expanding to 6.0% from 2.1%. Market capitalization is approximately CA$13.4 million (below US$10 million), and the company reports a customer base of 10,000+ companies (likely cumulative). The firm is PIPEDA-compliant, operates primarily in Canada and the United States, and carries no identified parent company or controlling entity. Recent strategic activity includes the January 2026 mobile app and side mirror camera launches, a 2025 NHRA/GESi partnership, and a five-vendor integration ecosystem buildout.
