History
In 1998 Wachenhut/G4S operations in Greece decided to evaluate telematics technology, in order to better organize, monitor and manage the large corporate fleet of vehicles. At the epicenter of this effort was the creation of a Telematics Application Department, which combined highly specialized people and cutting edge technology.
The main goal was to come up with a satellite tracking and fleet management system, to be used by the Cash in Transit, patrol vehicles and technical crews.
After extensive analysis of 22 international systems, in real – operational conditions, a decision was made to collaborate with Tracker UK (the UK leader in telematics) for the creation of a system that would combine the best features of the products tested. This led to the production of new equipment (manufactured by Celestica- one of the largest manufacturer of GSM / GPS components at the time) designed according to the specifications of the G4S group worldwide and utilizing the experience gained throughout the evaluation period.
In 1999 the Fleet management system was fully operational, deployed in 500 corporate vehicles and controlled by a 24 hour Alarm Receiving Centre.
Following the success of this project a strategic decision was made to transfer the experience and know-how attained to a commercial offering. Thus a new company was formed by the name of Telematix S.A.
The company’s main focus lies in the creation, marketing and support of high – tech products utilizing cutting edge technologies. A significant investment was made in transferring well established international know – how and keeping close ties with Telematics partners worldwide. Due to the worldwide footprint of the G4S organization Telematix has formed partnerships with leading technology providers including Cellocator, HSTC, Paragon UK, The Location Company, Tracker UK.
The commercial offering adopted the Application Service Provider model of operations based on the significant advantages of centralized control and support that it offers.
