Quartix expands with distributor network for pay-as-you-go vehicle tracking service

Quartix is setting up a distributor network dedicated to its popular pay-as-you-go service.

The move follows strong demand from established distributors seeking a competitively-priced PAYG product for their customers.

(Former) Managing director Andy Walters said: “The demand is being driven by distributors’ existing telematics suppliers being unable to meet customer requirements, especially in relation to pay-as-you-go.

“We are filling the gap by offering an attractive commercial proposition – one that has been warmly welcomed by some of the country’s top tracking-system distributors.”

Last year, against a market backdrop that saw a serious decline in tracking-unit volumes and the failure of many vehicle tracking firms, Quartix registered sales growth of 5% – thanks largely to the launch of Quartix Pay As You Go.

Today, with widespread and increasing recognition of the importance of flexible rental contracts, Quartix is confident of a highly profitable future for its pay-as-you-go channel partners.

A ‘profitable proposition’ from Quartix

Quartix Pay As You Go’s nationwide network will consist of a select group of experienced, well-established distributors with a proven track record in telematics. Among ten companies already signed up are the Scenic Group, Fresh Thinking Vehicle Tracking, Veetrack, Pro-Comm Business Solutions and F16 Consulting.

Mr Walters added: “We are continuing to take on experienced organisations.

“Our proposition provides excellent short-term rewards for successful distributors, together with long-term partnership and support through profit sharing.

“It also provides financial assistance to help in migrating customers to Quartix from legacy systems.”

Quartix Pay As You Go – the background

In April 2009, Quartix became the UK’s first telematics provider to introduce pay-as-you-go, adding it to its lease-finance and outright purchase options. Since then the company has become the UK’s first to provide PAYG with Google Maps and the first to offer a unique on-screen ‘dashboard,’ giving at-a-glance, real-time information about a fleet”s performance.

During 2010, thanks to innovative features such as the latest Speeding Reports, Quartix anticipates PAYG will account for 80 per cent of sales, with lease-finance and outright purchase taking up the remaining 20 per cent.
