While others were giving away roses on Valentine’s Day 2001, Andy Walters, Dominique Walters, Andy Kirk and Ken Giles founded a company with a clear mission: to help companies with mobile fleets become more efficient. They started to build a GPS-based vehicle tracking system that was accessible online, easy-to-use, and robust.
Almost 25 years later, Quartix has now reached the milestone of producing a tracker with serial number 1,000,000. This special tracker was presented as a gift to our founder and chairman Andy Walters at our annual company meeting in Newtown, Wales. This company achievement reflects our innovation, customer focus, and a team driven to succeed.

Quartix now operates in eight countries, with over 100 employees and offices around the globe. This growth stems from a clear mission: exceptional customer service, transparent pricing, and flexible contract models – often with a term of just one year. No small print. No restrictive contracts. Just genuine added value for our customers.

As Justin Toole, Fleet Manager at M&Y Maintenance and Construction, put it: “I reviewed just about every telematics system out there. We were going to save money with Quartix and were able to confirm its system was exactly the right fit.”
