History

The company was founded in 2004, focusing on vehicle tracking for insurance purposes. In 2005, the company introduced a vehicle location and fleet management system which was a predecessor for its later flagship product, Helios. In 2005, the company has opened its regional sales office in Argentina, followed by an office Kenya in 2008. The Helios was released to the market in 2008, followed by other tracking systems for a variety of purposes in 2012.
