Cybit purchases assets of OxLoc Limited
Cybit, the international provider of telematics-based products and services for the management and control of land and sea based assets,
is pleased to announce the purchase, for a nominal cash consideration, the assets of OxLoc Limited (OxLoc) the Oxford based supplier of
battery-powered tracking units for HGV trailers, plant and mobile assets.
OxLoc provided asset monitoring, tracking and alerting solutions to the sector of the mobile asset management market where there is no
access or limited access to a power source, with their supply of autonomous battery-powered data collection products. The Company was
originally founded by Isis Innovation Ltd, the technology transfer company of the University of Oxford and has been operating since December
2000.
The purchase covers all hardware, software and intellectual property and provides Cybit with non-powered tracking devices that will
become highly integrated with Cybit's leading on-line Fleetstar-Online telematics and fleet-tracking solution. This will include built-in
RFID technology for temperature, pallet and goods-in-transit monitoring.
Cybit will integrate OxLoc products into their current product range and will continue to run and expand the service that is already
installed with customers and partners such as BT, Balfour Beatty and the Stiller Group. This integration process will be simplified as Cybit
has already incorporated the OxLoc product into its AssetLocator platform and have a number of customers using the solution for non-powered
assets.
Richard Horsman, Cybit's Chief Executive commented:
"The current challenging economic climate is making it increasingly difficult for smaller businesses like OxLoc to achieve critical
mass. As the UK market leading telematics provider with a proven track record as a consolidator, Cybit is well placed to exploit the
technology with our broad product range and extensive market reach."
