Lytx's flagship product is the gold standard DriveCam® video telematics safety program that now protects more than 650,000 drivers. Despite new entries into the growing marketplace, throughout 2016, Lytx maintained its global leadership with 65 percent market share – five times the share of the closest competitor -- according to industry analysts Frost & Sullivan.

"Success last year with its core DriveCam program, rapid adoption of its new ActiveVision® service, and the introduction of the Unisyn™ platform emphasizes how rapidly video telematics have changed the way businesses protect their fleets," said Frost & Sullivan Research Manager Sathya K. "It's not just about safety and changing driver behavior; Lytx is offering unparalleled visibility into what's happening within a fleet to improve operations and efficiency, ultimately helping profitability."
