Significant hardware order with a UK insurance company

Trakm8, the AIM-listed designer, developer and manufacturer of licensed GPRS based hardware and software for the vehicle placement and security market, is pleased to announce the award of a significant hardware order with a UK insurance company.

Trakm8 has been awarded a £1.2m hardware order for telematic units with the bulk of the revenues expected in our next financial year commencing 1 April 2014.  This hardware order is expected to be followed by a service support contract providing additional and long-term recurring revenues for the Group.

Trakm8 will be supplying hardware based on our next generation components and the first of a family of new products called T10.  The T10 Micro is a full function telematics tracking device with CANbus communications.  This self-installed device is fitted to the vehicle diagnostic socket and is probably the smallest such unit available today.  As a result over 92% of vehicles could be fitted during the trial process.  Integration work has been undertaken to meet the insurance company's specific requirements.

John Watkins, Executive Chairman of Trakm8 commented: 

"This significant order is validation of our investment in a larger engineering and sales resource and is the largest order ever received by the Group.  We will be manufacturing the devices in our newly acquired Box Telematics facility, reflecting the benefits of the resources that this business adds to the Group as a whole."
