Cybit becomes first European company to be listed in Global Telematics Top Ten League Table

ABI Research, the leading international technology research organisation, has placed Cybit in the top ten of global industry players in its newly issued Global Commercial Telematics Vendor Matrix. Cybit, the only European company listed in the Global Top Ten table, owes its position to continued success in building a blue-chip customer and asset base.

As the telematics market evolves, two distinct trends are emerging. The first is for more complex solutions that integrate telematics with other solutions, such as scheduling and Mobile Resource Management (MRM). Cybit has a strong track record of project success in this area, which is a key reason for its recognition in the ABI Global Top Ten. Return on Investment is where Cybit can typically be differentiated from its peer group through provision of a broader product and service portfolio. Its provision of market-leading telematics and strong strategic and operational consultancy services – derived from the experience gained through working with a broad range of customers and partners – enables Cybit to target rapid return on investment for users of its solutions.

The second trend is a strong demand for a simple, low cost telematics solution for SMEs that can provide location information and historical reporting. To address this need, Cybit has introduced its Fleetstar-AVL and greatbigblue solutions, available through its reseller channel.

Richard Horsman, Chief Executive of Cybit, said: “To be placed in the Global Top Ten, and alongside such illustrious companies, is an outstanding achievement for Cybit. We are particularly delighted to have scored so highly in the two key areas of Implementation and Innovation.”

Today, Cybit has in the region of 1,000 customers with a combined total of around 25,000 vehicles tracked on a 24/7 basis. Cybit’s blue-chip customers include Alfred McAlpine, Renault Trucks and Sainsbury’s to You.

ABI Research has prepared the matrix to give an unbiased rating of all the current vendor offerings based on product implementation and innovation. Under Implementation, ABI Research examined each product's relative costs, installed base, regional deployment and range of solutions. Under Innovation, ABI Research scrutinised a range of criteria including user interface, hardware and software functionality, availability of wireless links and unique features.

Considered as the industry benchmark, the top ten positions comprise: 1 - QUALCOMM, 2 - DigiCore Holdings, 3 - Mobile Knowledge, 4 - PeopleNet Communications, 5 - CSI Wireless, 6 - Infowave, 7 - Digital Dispatch Systems, 8 - Xata Corp, 9 - Cadec Corporation, 10 - Cybit Holdings.
