Founded in 2017 by Vineet Sharma, Abhay Jeet Gupta, Udbhav Rai, Parveen Kataria and Vishal Mishra Fleetx provides internet-of-things and software-based products to help both fleet operators and industries digitise their logistics operations.
The company claims that by using its products its clients improve safety, efficiency and sustainability of their vehicles and operations. Some key use cases of Fleetx’s platform include real-time visibility, improved asset utilization, theft prevention, fuel savings, and improved vendor performance, the company said.
According to the company website, Adani, Delhivery, Mondelez International, Tata Steel, and Suzuki are some of its clients.

Fleetx has been able to validate and scale an innovative IoT and Saas-based solution to this problem, and hundreds of enterprises and SMEs across various sectors are currently using their product,” said Dinesh Agarwal, founder and managing director of Indiamart.
