Cybit the best telematics play (CYH)     

Still Waiting - 21 Sep 2003 22:33

The chart for this stock says it all.

The company is quickly becoming a real gem in the telematics field, over the last month the co. has announced re-seller contracts which will bring in min. 2m or >30% of last years T/O alone.

The company is already experiencing massive organic growth so the co. should be profitable now following last years 500k loss.

The co. has approx. 6m cash and is in one of the hottest growth areas at the moment.

With a market cap. of 25m this will be re-rated x2/3 minimum within the next 6-12 months IMHO.

MM buys went through on Friday with T/O continuing to build, one to put on your monitor...

BO:

I bought in here because I believed (...and still do) that this type of technology is the way we are likely to go, fairly rapidly into the future. I think any tip has to be viewed with the contempt it deserves, I always view them as 'it's probably because someone who holds lots, wants out'. Mind, even doing thorough research, doesn't always yield pots'o'gold either!

---

Somewhat disappointed that these (now old) accounting rules are still affecting results. I suppose we can now say that this is the last time they can be used as an excuse and we must now see some positive moves by Cybit. It's high time someone got to grips with this business and stopped all the pussy footing around!.

Given the recent falls, one would have thought that all this was already built into the share price, so don't be too surprised to see them have a go at shaking a few more out over the next week or so and then a steady climb back

I think these accounting rules will affect profits until 2006 but should be good for the long term.

Cybit strengthens its drive into the food delivery market with major order from Caterfood

Caterfood success follows Fleetstar-Online order from Sainsburys to You
Solution offers potential to gain insurance Risk Recognition Rebate through integration of telematics

Cybit, the UKs leading online telematics service provider, has strengthened its drive into the food delivery market with a major order for Fleetstar-Online from Caterfood, a specialist supplier of ambient, chilled and frozen foods to the catering trade. Caterfood has chosen Fleetstar-Online to enhance Duty of Care for its mobile workforce and take advantage of a potential Risk Recognition Rebate from Norwich Union as a result of the implementation of telematics. Caterfood joins Sainsburys to You, an organisation that has already taken advantage of Fleetstar-Online, to improve the productivity and efficiency of its food delivery operations.

Caterfood will initially implement 41 Fleetstar-Online units for its fleet of temperature controlled vehicles, allowing it to track and monitor the activities of its fleet in real-time, an essential requirement for the delivery of perishable goods. As part of the agreement, Caterfood already a Norwich Union Fleetwise customer has the potential to gain a Risk Recognition Rebate by following good driving practices as reported by the Fleetstar-Online solution.

The main reason behind our decision to implement telematics to our fleet was that we wanted to improve the level of Duty of Care we provide to our mobile workers, commented Mark Felton, Managing Director, Caterfood. The Cybit solution allows us to track our vehicles in real time and enables us to check that our drivers are safe and following good driving practices, such as keeping to speed limits. This enhances the safety of our fleet, while also providing us with additional benefits such as the ability to optimise our fleet and minimise fuel expenditure.

In choosing Fleetstar-Online we were also able to take full advantage of Cybits ongoing relationship with Norwich Union to gain potential rebates on our insurance expenditure. We chose the solution following a recommendation by our insurance broker Bartlett Davies Bicks, concluded Mark Felton.

"Caterfood has always actively managed its vehicle fleet, but for some time it has been looking for a more efficient fleet management system. Initially Caterfoods motivation was to provide better customer service, while being able to reduce running costs, boost productivity and support their Duty of Care responsibilities, commented Karl Hanson, Director, Bartlett Davies Bicks Caterfoods insurance broker. "However, by using Cybit the potential for further premium rebates became available. Further to this, Norwich Union has appointed a specialist fleet surveyor to analyse the information provided by Cybit, with a view to providing a longer term premium advantage."

The delivery of foods, whether it be to homes or to the catering trade, is a real growth sector for Cybit, commented John Wisdom, Director of Sales and Marketing at Cybit. This order from Caterfood offers further proof that Cybit is rapidly becoming the telematics partner of choice for companies operating in this sector.

Fleetstar-Online offers clear business benefits to organisations involved in delivery, and our ongoing partnership with Norwich Union further enhances these benefits by recognising good driving practices through Risk Recognition Rebates and fixed annual insurance premiums, concluded John Wisdom.
Cybit provides the core telematics technology for Norwich Unions Fleet Telematics solution. Qualifying fleets that install their vehicles with Cybits Fleetstar-Online telematics equipment available from as little as 20 per vehicle per month can take advantage of Norwich Unions unique fleet insurance offering, which features:

fixed price insurance cover over two or three years
annual telematics-based insurance premium rebate when key performance indicators are achieved
risk management advice that looks at key elements of the telematics records, coupled with claims information to provide an analysis of key performance measures and bespoke risk management reports
best practice guidance on running a fleet of vehicles including compliance with safety and legal issues.

About Caterfood:
Caterfood is a specialist provider of ambient, chilled and frozen foods to the catering trade. Based in Paignton, Devon Caterfood has been in business for 35 years and employs over 90 people.

I think the management should start and care about its share price otherwise they need replacing.

This share should be double and double again the price that it is at the moment!!!

swseun - 18 Jul 2005 23:55 - 2946 of 3104

are we ready for a new high or another big drop?! reading the graphy of last half year, every time it rises a relatively high, it drops more.... so disappinted...i'm still holding, and wish my life would be long enough to see it back to the level like 2 years ago...

swseun - 18 Jul 2005 23:59 - 2947 of 3104

i am not trying to disencourage anyone, but seems to me, all the good report, good news, big buyers, whatever happen namely to this share, did not take any effect to it......sail like grost boat.... the only direction is the bottom of the sea. Anyone has better news of it?

Kivver - 19 Jul 2005 16:05 - 2948 of 3104

big fall for such little volume traded!!!

the SmartNav system which dynamically guides motorists using a direct operator
link, helping them avoid congestion and delays. For Europcar the sophisticated
Fleetstar-Online telematics solution will provide the security that they need,
and the reassurance that when required they will always be able to find where
their vehicles are.'

Haymills to optimise delivery operation with
cost-effective Cybit telematics solution

Fleetstar-Online enables building contractors to improve utilisation of mobile workforce
Telematics implementation will help Haymills improve customer service

Cybit, the UKs leading online telematics service provider, has announced that Haymills, the national building contractor, has implemented Fleetstar-Online into 42 of its delivery vehicles. The implementation of Cybits telematics solution will allow Haymills to monitor the use of its vehicles in real-time to improve the efficiency of its delivery operation through enhanced fleet visibility. The deployment of Fleetstar-Online, and the use of real-time data, will help Haymills to provide its customers with a more efficient and productive delivery service.

Haymills has selected Fleetstar-Online, the Internet-based fleet and asset management solution from Cybit, to improve the efficiency of service delivery to clients and to help improve routing between customer sites. The extensive reporting functionality offered by the solution will allow Haymills to monitor its fleet and highlight where improvements can be made. Fleetstar-Online will also enhance the level of Duty of Care that Haymills provides to its mobile employees by monitoring issues such as speed, mileage, driving times and good driving practices.

At Haymills we strive for continuous improvement, based on a systematic analysis of the weaknesses and strengths of our processes. That is why we decided to investigate the viability of deploying telematics into our delivery fleet, commented Gary Nunn, Director of Haymills. Cybits Fleetstar-Online stood out above a number of other telematics solutions for its comprehensive reporting system which provides data in a manageable, user-friendly format. Additionally, the Cybit solution involved a simple, one-off cost with no hidden add-ons. We found that the costs of other telematics offerings were dependent on the amount of information that is downloaded.

Cybit has already allowed us to make early gains in the three months since its initial implementation. This includes making better use of our workforce, with the knock-on effect of providing our clients with faster service delivery, continued Gary Nunn. Should the implementation of telematics continue to offer the benefits displayed so far, I am sure that we will look to broaden our use of Fleetstar-Online in the near future.

An ever increasing number of fleet operators are recognising the benefits offered by telematics, commented John Wisdom, Group Director Sales and Marketing at Cybit. We are delighted that companies such as Haymills are embracing this enabling technology, and using it to directly contribute to improvements in customer service. Fleetstar-Online is an extremely cost-effective business tool, which can help organisations streamline their fleet performance and enhance Duty of Care.

Fleetstar-Online is Cybits scalable Internet-based telematics solution that features real-time vehicle tracking, exception reporting, replay mode, customised reports, mileage information, SMS messaging and live traffic information. By implementing Fleetstar-Online, organisations are able to take advantage of Norwich Unions Fleet Telematics insurance offering. Fleet Telematics offers organisations that install Cybits telematics platform fixed insurance premiums for the two to three year duration of the agreement and also gives them the ability to earn a Risk Recognition Rebate of up to 16 per cent per annum for meeting risk management KPIs.

Cybit launches home delivery sales initiative for retail sector

Fleetstar-Online and Smartnav deliver substantial operational benefits and increased Duty of Care provision to organisations in the home delivery sector
Open API architecture allows for easy integration with back office routing and scheduling systems

Cybit, the UKs leading online telematics service provider, has announced a major new initiative that will see it target the home delivery sector. It follows the success of the companys recent project with Sainsbury's to help power its 400-plus 'Sainsbury's to You' home delivery operation, and the growing requirement for home delivery fleets to optimise their performance.

The combination of Cybit's Fleetstar-Online solution with Smartnav satellite navigation allows organisations in the home delivery sector to maximise their operational efficiency, enhancing their Duty of Care provision for drivers, optimising fleet performance under the Working Time directive, and helping home delivery organisations to exceed customer expectations. Thanks to the Open API architecture of the Cybit system, essential telematics data can be easily integrated with an organisations existing routing and scheduling system, allowing it analyse and optimise the efficiency of its operation.

Retail home delivery services face particular problems in planning large numbers of deliveries of often relatively low value products to residential areas. Because Fleetstar-Online and Smartnav provide turn-by-turn directions, home delivery drivers can find their destination promptly and avoid potential traffic hotspots, commented Richard Horsman, Chief Executive Officer, Cybit. This is particularly important for the home delivery market, where drivers often operate in unfamiliar locations, and misread directions and excess mileage can lead to increases in stem mileage.

The Cybit home delivery solution also addresses Duty of Care issues that are increasingly important to retail delivery fleet managers. The data produced by Fleetstar-Online allows home delivery fleet managers to have complete visibility of the mileage, service history, distances travelled and speeds driven across its entire fleet helping to ensure that the vehicle is in good working order and being driven responsibly. The real-time vehicle location capability, and the ability to call the 24/7 call centre in case of emergency, also dramatically enhances vehicle and driver safety. Drivers also experience less stress as there is no need for them to constantly refer to a gazetteer or use a mobile phone to obtain directions.

"We have launched a sales drive into this particular sector as we have already shown our ability to deliver a perfect fit solution for the home delivery operations through our recent three-year agreement with Sainsbury's," added Richard Horsman. "The use of Cybit's telematics enabled solutions that power the 'Sainsbury's to You' delivery system provides tangible business benefits in an extremely competitive arena. By leveraging telematics within their business, home delivery organisations can gain a competitive advantage over others in the sector.

"Companies such as Sainsbury's are partnering with Cybit because of our proven telematics platform backed up by our extensive portfolio of value added services and support network. We continue to develop as the lead player in the telematics marketplace and our evolving product group illustrates this perfectly," he continued.

Fleetstar-Online is Cybits scalable Internet-based telematics solution that features real-time vehicle tracking, exception reporting, replay mode, customised reports, mileage information, SMS messaging and live traffic information. Fleet vehicles are fitted with a small electronic in-vehicle-unit (IVU) which is tracked by GPS in real-time and data transmitted to Cybits online control centre. It provides companies with a cost-effective ASP-based fleet management solution, which offers users anytime, anywhere access to the system via a standard web browser. Fleetstar-Online also features added value solution support, with fully integrated Smartnav satellite navigation and RAC Trackstar Plus stolen vehicle recovery system functionality. Smartnav is an off-board satellite navigation and route planning system that gathers real-time traffic information from Trafficmaster's established network of cameras and sensors around the UK.
