About MiX Telematics

In April 2008, MiX Telematics acquired Tripmaster in order to strengthen its market offering and establish a foothold in the North America market. In the 1970’s, Tripmaster pioneered the development of on-board computers and owns numerous patents relating to state-line crossing algorithms.

Today, MiX Telematics North America builds upon the brand’s legacy by continuing to provide commercial fleet operators with greater efficiency and management control, with an emphasis on driver safety, DOT Hours of Service and IFTA compliance.

In May 2013, MiX Telematics Brazil was established to increase the company's market penetration and grow its market share in Brazil and the greater Latin America region. The subsidiary – based in Sao Paulo – enables MiX Telematics to better support its channel partner network, while keeping an ear to the ground for requirements that are unique to the region.

Born out of the OmniBridge (now MiX Telematics International) acquisition of the SiemensVDO fleet management business in 2007, MiX Telematics Europe is based in the UK and forms the hub of the group’s sales and distribution business in Europe. The business is well known throughout the UK and Europe as the company behind the original Datatrak vehicle tracking products and network, established in 1985.

MiX Telematics (Africa) provides consumer solutions to the South African market under the Matrix and Beam-e brands, while the commercial division provides enterprise fleet management solutions throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Matrix represents one of the largest personal safety and stolen vehicle recovery brands in South Africa. Its offering encompasses basic and enhanced security services that are designed to suit individual lifestyles, all with an emphasis on personal safety. Beam-e is a highly affordable stolen vehicle recovery service that was launched by MiX Telematics in 2011.

The business operates a 24/7/365 National Operations Centre and has dedicated ground response teams and a company-owned helicopter. MiX Telematics Africa is based in Midrand, Johannesburg, and has recently set-up an office in Uganda. Having eyes and ears on the ground in East Africa, aligns MiX Telematics with the growing demand in the region, while enabling the company to better support its East African business partner network.

MiX Telematics International, based in Stellenbosch, is responsible for all centralised marketing, hosting & operations, research & development functions as well as sales into regions not managed by other MiX subsidiaries. The business is positioned as a central services organisation to the rest of the MiX group businesses and partners, to support growth of the business across its international locations and within its various segments.

MiX Telematics Middle East and MiX Telematics Australasia are based in Dubai (UAE) and Perth (Australia) respectively.

The subsidiary was borne out of MiX Telematics’ acquisition of SafeDrive International (SDI), in 2008, a road safety consultancy and training business that was originally formed in 2002. SDI built up a strong reputation in the driver safety and training sector, becoming known for its high standard in training design and delivery.

Today, the businesses combine in-vehicle monitoring systems, driver training and consulting to offer customised, effective driver behaviour and training programmes for global customers focussed on achieving and maintaining the highest levels of safety in the oil and gas, minerals and resources sectors.
