Insight & Approach

In 2010, Vector identified Teletrac as an attractive opportunity through its proactive sector review of the logistics industry and viewed the company as one of the few operators with the scale, product and track record to take advantage of an underpenetrated market. We believed that the growth potential of Teletrac’s U.S. business was underappreciated by the UK public markets, and that it would be better positioned as a private company to capitalize on the growth opportunities in its core markets. Vector built a solid relationship with management and took the company private in July 2010.

Vector Value Add

Vector partnered with management to move the company to the U.S. and change the business model to pure subscription. We also accelerated growth through investments in sales & marketing and the company’s product roadmap achieving double digit growth prior to the sale in 2013.

Results

Teletrac’s U.S. business continued to exhibit strong growth, and in 2013, Teletrac was acquired by Danaher Corporation (NYSE:DHR)
