What Inway does

Inway SpA is a privately held Chilean engineering company headquartered in Concepción that develops and sells IoT telemetry hardware and software for vehicle fleets. Its core platform centers on the proprietary INWAY-CAN device, a hardware integration hub with flexible firmware that aggregates data from in-cabin peripherals — including CAN bus sensors, Mobileye ADAS, fatigue detection cameras, and multiple driver/passenger identification readers (Ibutton, RFID, QR Card, Cédula Reader) — and transmits alerts to the vehicle cabin and a centralized monitoring platform. The firmware is customized to each customer's business rules, enabling bespoke KPI generation for heterogeneous fleets of mixed brands and models without invasive wiring that would void vehicle warranty.

The product portfolio extends beyond the core hub into two add-on modules. E-Telemetría decodes signals from electric vehicle batteries, motors, regenerative braking systems, and chargers to deliver real-time energy management dashboards. Driver Assistance (Asistencia para Conductores) layers computer-vision-based fatigue, drowsiness, distraction, and proximity detection over the INWAY-CAN data stream, with AI-verified alerts escalated to a monitoring central and driver scorecards delivered via mobile application. Primary customer segments are logistics companies and passenger transport operators in Chile, with secondary segments in electric vehicle fleets and GPS/telemetry resellers seeking peripheral integration capabilities.

Inway commercializes through direct B2B enterprise sales, with revenue streams spanning hardware device sales, recurring telemetry and monitoring subscriptions, and custom KPI / managed services tied to firmware customization. The company is founder-owned (CEO Gabriel Martínez, CTO Matias Rivera, COO Rodrigo Riveros Salazar) and has received subsidy funding from CORFO, Chile's production development agency. It maintains compliance with Chile's public-sector budget transparency law (Ley N°21.460) and operates exclusively within Chile, with no disclosed international expansion.

Core offering

Inway designs, manufactures, and sells the INWAY-CAN IoT telematics hardware device and accompanying software services for vehicle fleets. The device integrates data from in-cabin cameras, ADAS units, and CAN bus sensors to deliver driver fatigue detection, AI-based risk analysis, and real-time vehicle diagnostics. Complementary offerings include E-Telemetría for electric vehicle battery monitoring and BI/KPI dashboards, sold primarily to fleet operators, logistics companies, and passenger transport providers.

Product overview

Inway is an IoT engineering company that develops hardware and software solutions for vehicle fleet monitoring and road safety. Its product portfolio is organized around INWAY-CAN — the core hardware integration hub that connects cameras, CAN sensors, identification readers, and third-party ADAS devices into a unified system — supplemented by E-Telemetría (a specialized EV battery monitoring add-on) and Driver Assistance (a fatigue and drowsiness detection service). The INWAY-CAN platform aggregates data from all connected peripherals, processes risk events via AI, and delivers alerts both in-cabin and through a centralized monitoring platform for fleet operators in logistics and passenger transport.

Others

• Mobileye: Mobileye is an existing Inway technology partner for ADAS (collision warning, lane departure, pedestrian detection). It is an enabler/supplier to Inway rather than a direct competitor in fleet telematics, but its technology underpins a key part of Inway's value proposition.

Direct peers

• CalAmp: CalAmp provides telematics hardware (OBD/CAN devices) and a SaaS platform used by fleet operators and resellers — closely mirroring Inway's hardware-first model with INWAY-CAN and partner-enablement for GPS/telemetry resellers.
• Lytx: Lytx specializes in video telematics and AI-driven driver safety (drowsiness, distraction, risky driving) for commercial fleets — directly comparable to Inway's Driver Assistance service using fatigue-detection cameras and AI risk scoring.
• GPS Insight: GPS Insight provides GPS fleet tracking, driver behavior monitoring, and EV fleet analytics, with hardware and software bundles. It is a comparable mid-market fleet telematics peer with overlapping customer profile.

Broad incumbents

• Samsara: Samsara is a leading IoT fleet management platform offering vehicle telematics, dash cams, driver safety, and asset tracking — directly overlapping with Inway's INWAY-CAN, Driver Assistance, and EV monitoring offerings, but at vastly larger scale and broader geographic footprint.
• Verizon Connect: Verizon Connect provides fleet telematics, GPS tracking, dash cam-based driver safety, and EV fleet management at enterprise scale. It is a broad incumbent whose offering spans the same hardware + software + AI + EV monitoring categories as Inway.
• Webfleet (Bridgestone): Webfleet is a Bridgestone-owned fleet management platform offering GPS tracking, vehicle diagnostics via CAN, driver behavior scoring, and EV fleet support — overlapping substantially with Inway's full product suite, with stronger European/LatAm channel presence.
• Geotab: Geotab is one of the largest fleet telematics providers globally, offering CAN-based vehicle tracking, driver behavior scoring, and EV battery monitoring. It is the closest direct functional peer to Inway's hardware-centric, CAN-bus-integrated approach.
• Trimble Transportation: Trimble offers enterprise fleet and transportation management, including telematics, driver safety, and asset tracking — a broad incumbent whose portfolio overlaps with Inway's fleet operations, maintenance, and driver risk scoring capabilities.

Emerging players

• Fleetio: Fleetio offers fleet maintenance, operations, and telematics integrations. While more software-focused than Inway, it serves the same mid-market logistics/passenger transport buyer and often integrates with third-party GPS/ELD providers in a comparable ecosystem.
