SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
He Exited his CRM, Now Car Software Hits $40m Run Rate

Absolutely.

You know, who's our buyer?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
He Exited his CRM, Now Car Software Hits $40m Run Rate

Most of the time on that side, it's the fleet operator, but we're also getting, you know, the corporate risk officer and the chief sustainability officer that, you know, are contacting us to help them out.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So that's the efficiency.

VQ Telematics, are you familiar with Telematics?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
He Exited his CRM, Now Car Software Hits $40m Run Rate

I mean, that's been around for forever, right?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
He Exited his CRM, Now Car Software Hits $40m Run Rate

Yeah.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
He Exited his CRM, Now Car Software Hits $40m Run Rate

We're not a Telematics player.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
He Exited his CRM, Now Car Software Hits $40m Run Rate

We don't have Telematics software.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
He Exited his CRM, Now Car Software Hits $40m Run Rate

what we do is we integrate with all the big telematics players out there, the Geotabs, the Spirions, the Fleetmatics, et cetera.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
He Exited his CRM, Now Car Software Hits $40m Run Rate

We actually use them as a channel to get to the customer.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
He Exited his CRM, Now Car Software Hits $40m Run Rate

And so we're kind of an open platform on that side.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
He Exited his CRM, Now Car Software Hits $40m Run Rate

We have a very light telematics platform that if somebody doesn't have something, we can put in place, but that's not where we really compete.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And then VQ Safety is really going after two other big issues that these fleets have

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

and that is speeding and distracted driver.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And so we have a distracted driver prevention application and we have a dynamic speed control where based upon where you are, like if you're a fleet operator, you say, hey, I don't want my fleets to go any more than 10 miles over speed limit no matter where they're at.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And we're able to dynamically understand where you're at via GPS, understand what the speed limit is, and then set it so that your vehicle, if you go over that 10 miles, it's a very, very annoying thing for the driver to quickly back up.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

Break down the importance of these two cohorts, car enthusiasts and enterprises, in terms of your top line revenue.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

Um, so revenue is 75, 25 right now.
