TELEO Capital Management announced the acquisition of Fleetsu Pty Ltd. by its existing portfolio company, Rand McNally.
Fleetsu is a cloud-based, data analytics fleet management solution provider which enables customers to manage their fleets more efficiently and effectively.
The transaction brings together Rand McNally’s fleet business with Fleetsu’s platform, data and analytics capabilities. The newly combined businesses help fleet operators maximize business productivity through access to real-time, on-the-road data, providing valuable insights including driver location and safety, engine performance and vehicle efficiency (fossil and electric), the company says.
“Rand McNally is committed to delivering innovative products and services that improve fleet and driver efficiency, safety and security,” says Aaron Dannenbring, CEO of Rand McNally. “Fleetsu takes our existing expertise to the next level as we now offer the industry’s best connected fleet platform complementing our already robust hardware, navigation, logistics and publishing businesses. The combination of Rand McNally and Fleetsu creates a world-class connected vehicle powerhouse.”
