Zak Calisto, CEO and Founder:
“We delivered another strong quarter of customer growth. Importantly, we have now settled in our newly built central office in Rosebank, South Africa, and look forward to strong organic growth in South Africa. Our investment in Europe over the last few quarters is starting to yield exciting results. Southeast Asia’s subscription revenue grew by 26% on a constant currency basis and remains our biggest medium to long-term opportunity. Key to our success is our culture, product innovation and financial discipline as evidenced by our strong unit economics, cash generation, and clean balance sheet.”

Cartrack increased total revenue 14% to ZAR1,051 million (Q3 2024: ZAR919 million). This growth is driven by a subscription-revenue business model.

Our customers now have access to our fuel validation software which mitigates fraudulent transactions.
