“We want to create an important European player specialising in the provision of one-stop-shop services for the transport industry. This is the main reason why we have decided to expand the INELO Group even further and acquire shares in the Slovenian telematics services provider CVS Mobile. We see this transaction as a significant geographical expansion and an opportunity to build a competitive advantage on the SEE/CEE markets. This is also a tremendous opportunity to exchange know-how and best practices, because the founders of CVS Mobile will continue to run the company. The extensive know-how and experience of the founders will help us improve TSL solutions, strengthen our presence, and launch the products of the INELO Group on key markets,” said Magdalena Magnuszewska, CEO of the INELO Group.

“INELO Group is a high potential company, operating on very promising telematics solutions market. The acquisition of CVS Mobile is another step in the implementation of INELO’s strategy, which involves dynamic growth,” – said Krzysztof Kulig, Senior Partner at Innova Capital. “We are delighted that our experience and financial involvement have contributed to the further growth of the INELO Group,” he added.

An international partner in telematics

CVS Mobile is a leading specialist in telematics solutions mainly for heavy transport (the share of heavy-duty vehicles constitutes over 80%). The company established in 2005 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, is under the management of Ciril Mlakar, Ales Likar, and Valter Grilanc, and has over 2 300 active clients as well as over 30 thousand telematics devices installed across 10 markets, mainly in the CEE/SEE regions. In 2020, CVS Mobile generated revenue of €8.5 million.

The company’s portfolio includes fleet monitoring and management systems. Its flagship product – the telematic cloud platform mobileWEB – is supplemented with a set of devices installed in vehicles, from basic ones like MG30 to more advanced such as MG10-DG10, used to monitor vehicles in real time – the equivalent of INELO’s GBox. In turn, CVS Mobile’s OBC740 tablet – the counterpart of the GBox Assist – allows for unlimited communication between the vehicles and the “base”. The products offered in the portfolio of the Slovenian company constitute the perfect expansion of the INELO’s broad offer of integrated technological solutions for the transport industry.

“CVS Mobile is mainly active in telematics solutions while INELO focuses on integrated solutions for the TSL industry. We are aware of the fact that a single product is no longer enough on the transport technology market, which is why we want to work together with INELO to develop an offer of comprehensive and advanced one-stop-shop solutions. This will lead CVS Mobile to further accelerate growth and build success on the European market. In the last few years, many of the telematics players have joined forces with their peers to increase their business potential and to co-create the cutting-edge innovations in the telematics field. Also, we believe that the transaction with INELO Group will lead to new opportunities for our company and employees, as we will focus on the development of telematics solutions and their provision to our clients,” added CVS Mobile co-founder Ciril Mlakar.

INELO with new products on international markets

The portfolio of the INELO Group includes solutions such as TachoScan Control and 4Trans, i.e. software analysing driving time, comprehensive outsourcing services for carriers under the brand of OCRK, and GBox – an advanced vehicle tracking and monitoring system. Besides products dedicated to the Polish market, INELO team has also developed its latest solution for driver’s worktime analysis dedicated for international clients.

“The latest INELO product: TachoScan Web is a SaaS solution that analyses driving time and is dedicated for foreign markets. The system supports archiving, management of work time data, and creation of simple documentation required during inspections. As we have combined our forces with CVS Mobile, a company with a presence on numerous international markets, we strengthen our geo market reach and will be able to launch our latest product on a much wider scale,” said Magdalena Magnuszewska.
