Differentiating Factors:

• An end to end design, development and a manufacturing house in the field of Telematics, based out of India.
•Company is ISO 9001:2008 certified and probably the only Indian Company to have an ARAI and a CE certification for its products. •System Integration with automobile OEMs possible, since the entire design is proprietary. Talks with Escorts & TCS on in this regard on.
• Cost Advantage to the customer without compromising on quality.
•The Government initiative to encourage localized manufacturing and also a regulation in most of the Government tenders that the bidder should either be an Own equipment Manufacturer or a dealer of an OEM, will place iTriangle in a highly advantageous position.

Competitors:

The competition is skewed in this sector with a lot of players offering tracking and monitoring solutions with Chinese hardware or hardware from European countries and has a web based application of their own. From a competition perspective, there are either Companies (mainly from China, Israel or Europe), who only offer hardware or Indian based Companies having software applications in this domain and integrate hardware devices with different device suppliers. iTriangle is one of the very few Companies which has an end to end solution, designed and developed in-house, in this domain, starting from the hardware to the cloud based application software for different domains that include transport, logistics, employee travel management for IT/BPO companies, Student travel management for educational institutions, Health Care, Banks, Food Chains etc. As a business policy and strategy, iTriangle focuses on the B2B business vertical where it offers its hardware as well as software modules to Companies engaged in this business.

Road map ahead:

As a strategy, “iTriangle would like to offer hardware and software solution in the B2B vertical, to Companies engaged in the business of Telematics. We today have a situation where Companies either have their own software application and import the hardware or look to procure both”, says the CMD Mr. Vadiraj Katti. With a proprietary GPS-GSM-RFID based Remote Data Acquisition Platform, under its belt, iTriangle primarily wants to focus on designing hardware devices as per the industry needs and also develop software modules in different domains of Transport, logistics, health care, Personal Tracking, Student/Employee Travel Management etc, in the long run.
Currently, the industry is driven by the Government policies, where it has been made mandatory for all the commercial vehicles to have the GPS-GSM based tracking devices installed. As an integrated solution, iTriangle InfoTech plans to launch Fare Meters integrated with GPS-GSM modules for tracking. iTriangle InfoTech also plans to launch OBD (On Board Diagnostics) devices with Track and Trace features and offer a holistic solution to the market.
