What mobileObjects GmbH does

mobileObjects GmbH is a German fleet management and vehicle telematics company headquartered in Lichtenau, North Rhine-Westphalia, founded in 2001 by Karl-Heinz Kolle. The company offers a modular telematics platform built around OBD-II GPS tracking devices (Teltonika FMC003 hardware) and a cloud-based portal with iOS and Android applications. Its core product suite includes mOLocate (basic GPS tracking for cars and light commercial vehicles), mOLocate+ (advanced tracking for larger commercial vehicles such as trucks and motorhomes), mOTacho (compliant tachograph management for driving and rest time regulations), and mORoadLens (automated incident documentation for fleet safety). Servers are hosted domestically via Vega-Systems in Paderborn, ensuring GDPR compliance.

The company operates on a subscription-based SaaS revenue model with monthly per-vehicle pricing, hardware sold separately, and minimum 24-month contracts with automatic 12-month renewal. It supplements this with professional services for implementation, training, and customer support, plus a 30-day free trial program that includes hardware. The GTM is sales-led and consultative, with named account managers, an interactive online product wizard, and direct relationship management targeting mid-sized German and Swiss companies (Mittelstand) in logistics, construction, and service sectors. Marketing is driven by content marketing through a blog, SEO, social media (LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook), and email newsletters.

The company has 19 employees, 200+ active customers, and 25+ years of continuous operation. It went through a restructuring in 2022, converting from mobileObjects AG to mobileObjects GmbH and relocating to its current headquarters. It maintains two subsidiaries: mobileObjects AG in Switzerland and mobileObjects Inc. in the USA (both established in 2004). The company has won multiple Telematik Awards (2010, 2012, 2014) and received the TOPLIST-2025 Telematik Siegel. Ownership remains with founders Karl-Heinz Kolle (Managing Director) and shareholder Ralf Rüschoff, with no external private equity or venture capital backing identified.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Trimble Transportation: Global telematics and transportation management provider with deep enterprise focus on logistics. Comparable in tachograph compliance and fleet tracking capabilities, with much broader TMS/WMS scope than mobileObjects' mid-market telematics offering.
• Verizon Connect: Major telematics provider offering GPS fleet tracking, vehicle tracking, and fleet management software. Comparable in product scope (tracking, tachograph, driver behavior) and overlaps directly with mobileObjects' target use cases in logistics and service fleets.
• Geotab: Global fleet telematics leader with a broad data platform, marketplace integrations, and OEM partnerships. Comparable to mobileObjects on GPS tracking and fleet analytics, but serves larger enterprise fleets and offers a much deeper ecosystem.
• Webfleet Solutions (Bridgestone): One of Europe's largest fleet telematics platforms, owned by Bridgestone, offering GPS tracking, tachograph management, and fleet optimization. Directly comparable to mobileObjects across the full telematics stack but at vastly greater scale and geographic reach.

Direct peers

• FleetGO: Dutch fleet management and telematics provider offering GPS tracking, driving-style analysis, and tachograph solutions to European SMEs. Highly comparable to mobileObjects on product mix, customer size, and DACH-adjacent European focus.
• Quartix: UK-headquartered fleet telematics SaaS provider focused on small and mid-sized fleets with subscription-based vehicle tracking. Closely comparable in business model (subscription per vehicle), customer size segment, and product breadth to mobileObjects.
• GPSGate: Sweden-based fleet and asset tracking platform with GPS tracking, tachograph download, and driver behavior features. Comparable to mobileObjects on technology stack and SMB-to-mid-market positioning, particularly across DACH and wider European markets.
• Optimum Automotive: France-based fleet management and telematics provider offering GPS tracking, driving behavior analysis, and eco-driving solutions. Comparable to mobileObjects across the European mid-market logistics and service fleet segment with overlapping product functionality.

Emerging players

• Munic.io: Berlin-based connected vehicle / fleet IoT platform offering white-label telematics and data APIs. Comparable to mobileObjects on the telematics data platform layer (especially the API/integration component) and targets European fleets, though more platform-led than end-customer.
• Tachosys: UK-based specialist in digital tachograph download, analysis, and compliance solutions. Comparable to mobileObjects specifically on the mOTacho compliance module, though more narrowly focused on tachograph data than full fleet tracking.
