The Tech Excellence Awards are recognised as Ireland’s principal badge of honour in the IT sector, recognising excellence not only in implementing technology solutions, but also in the business of marketing and implementing technology for business.
RentalMatics was recognised for driving transformational change in the global vehicle rental industry with a technology platform that uses GPS and on-board diagnostics to monitor and protect vehicle fleets. The company provides essential data, including odometer readings, vehicle locations, fuel levels, and damage alerts. Through big data analysis, process automation, and advanced AI, the platform delivers actionable insights that help businesses increase revenue, reduce costs, and maximise profits, whilst also setting unprecedented standards for customer service.

These awards are a true testament to the extraordinary people behind our technology. It’s their innovation, grit, and relentless focus that are reshaping the industry. We are delighted with this recognition for what we already know – our team and our technology solution is second to none.
