Corporate Profile  Minorplanet Systems plc is the leading supplier of vehicle management information (VMI™) systems which enable organisations to improve productivity and reduce fleet running costs. Since its foundation in 1996, Minorplanet has been at the forefront of developing telematics and vehicle tracking systems. We have combined vehicle tracking by Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) and the latest mobile communications with other technologies to create GPS tracking systems that generate invaluable fleet management information that goes beyond the limitations of simply locating vehicles on a map. Proven benefits of our fleet management and vehicle tracking systems: - Increased profits
- Increased productivity
- Reduced wage and overtime costs
- Reduced fuel expenditure
- Improved customer service
- Reduced communications costs
We believe we can provide incremental value to our customers because we own the intellectual property within our products (both hardware and software) and are committed to long-term research and development. We are also one of few organisations to offer both centrally-hosted and customer-hosted vehicle tracking solutions. With more than 6,000 customers worldwide, Minorplanet now employs 170 people in the UK and a further 170 people at its operations in Australia, Germany, Ireland, The Netherlands and New Zealand. We also have distribution agreements with partners in France and Italy, and are actively seeking similar opportunities in Spain and Eastern Europe. We aim to increase our market leadership both in terms of customers using our systems and in terms of hardware and software development which gives the system greater functionality. We continually research and develop the latest technologies to ensure that VMIgreenlight® remains an essential fleet management solution for any business running any type of vehicle fleet. Minorplanet Systems plc is quoted on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) in the UK and turnover for the year ended August 2009 was £9.7 million.
