Quartix was founded in 2001 by four industry professionals who have a combined 120+ years of experience in systems design, telemetry, embedded computing, communications, and database design and implementation. Quartix has grown to become a successful provider of fleet and vehicle tracking systems. The Quartix US fleet and vehicle tracking system provides users with a fast, efficient, 'point-and-click'​ source of real-time information, together with tailored e-mail reports. The highly-flexible service has scope to meet the needs of large corporations and owner-managed businesses alike. Customer acceptance of the Quartix system has been excellent since then: the company now has more than 13,000 fleet customers across the US and Europe. A Quartix tracking unit is currently installed every 80 seconds of the working day.
