Fleetmatics Receives Silver Stevie® Award from American Business Awards Recognizing its Strong Growth

DUBLIN and BOSTON, Sept. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Fleetmatics Group PLC (NYSE: FLTX), a leading global provider of mobile workforce solutions for service-based businesses of all sizes delivered as software-as-a-service (SaaS), announced today that it has been awarded the Silver Stevie® Award in the "Fastest Growing Tech Company of the Year – up to 2,500 employees" category. Winners were announced at the American Business Awards' product and technology awards banquet in San Francisco on September 12. 

Fleetmatics was recognized for its significant growth since 2013, which included a 40 percent growth in its employee base and 39 percent growth in revenue. This was powered by Fleetmatics' proven web sales model, which allows the company to more efficiently drive sales through its digital channels. Fleetmatics now serves over 23,000 customers and more than 500,000 subscribed vehicles worldwide which makes it the fastest growing subscriber base in the fleet management industry.

The award also highlights Fleetmatics' continued investment in growing and expanding its customer base and product offerings. The company has announced expansion into the Australian, Dutch and Mexican markets over the past year, adding to its already expansive global footprint, including operations throughout North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Fleetmatics also announced in April the launch of three new products with industry-first and patented features: Fleetmatics REVEAL™, Fleetmatics REVEAL+™ and Fleetmatics WORK™. Fleetmatics' product platform enables businesses to meet the challenges associated with managing service vehicle fleets and their drivers, and improve productivity by extracting actionable business intelligence from real-time and historical vehicle and driver behavioral data.

"The fleet management software market is projected to experience continued rapid growth over the next few years, and Fleetmatics is in a strong position to capitalize on that demand," said Jim Travers, Fleetmatics Chairman and CEO. "We continue to deliver tremendous growth and we are very pleased to be recognized for our results."

The American Business Awards honor an all-inclusive spectrum of American business people and organizations – from non-profits, emerging start-ups, major public companies and government organizations, to corner-office executives, corporate communicators, support staff and customer service teams. This year's winners were selected from a record pool of more than 3,300 nominations from organizations of all sizes and virtually every industry. Finalists were chosen by more than 130 professionals nationwide during preliminary judging, and nine specialized judging committees determined Gold, Silver and Bronze award placements.
