During 2013, more than 4,000 new customers signed up to Fleetmatics, and its subscriber base collected 4.8bn data points.

“The fourth quarter marked a strong finish to the year, driven by continued market demand and the strong value proposition of our comprehensive software-as-a-service fleet-management solution to SMBs,” said Jim Travers, chairman and chief executive officer of Fleetmatics.

“During 2013, we successfully executed our strategy and extended our leadership position, as evidenced by the strong growth in the number of new customers, increased sales to existing customers, geographic expansion, and the introduction of new features.

“Looking forward, we believe Fleetmatics remains well positioned to further grow market share driven by our continued commitment to innovation and expanding our global reach,” Travers said.
