EROAD signs big Aussie deal

TRANSPORTATION TECHNOLOGY services company EROAD has signed a supply deal with a new customer that will almost double its business in the Australian market.

EROAD says that Ventia, one of the largest essential services providers in Australia and New Zealand, intends to install around 2500 Ehubo 2 devices in its Australian fleet – and a further 1500 in its fleet in NZ.

Although EROAD says that no minimum unit commitment is specified, it is expected that the proposed Ehubo unit installations will be completed this year.

Ventia, which has been an existing NZ customer “for a number of years,” has entered into a five-year agreement for a monthly subscription to EROAD’s SaaS products.

Ventia specialises in “the longterm operation, maintenance and management of critical public and private assets and infrastructure for corporate and government clients across a broad range of sectors.”

EROAD entered the Australian market in 2018 and has been building its brand on the back of regulatory reform and by the end of last year was providing monthly subscriptions to small-tomedium customers with 2625 connected units.

EROAD believes the Australian market has a remaining short to medium term enterprise pipeline of 15,000 to 20,000 connected vehicles.

“EROAD is looking forward to working in partnership with Ventia to deliver best safety outcomes” says EROAD CEO Steven Newman.

Ventia’s group chief executive officer Dean Banks says: “Safety and health, above all else, is our number one priority at Ventia. We are delighted to enter this strategic partnership with EROAD, which will enhance our ability to improve safety for our people, our clients and the communities we operate in.”
