  • Strong growth of 12% in North America, demonstrating the solid pipeline
  • Continued growth of 4% across Australia and New Zealand, reflecting the addressable market of both enterprise and small to medium business
  • EROAD’s delivery of net return to the NZ economy was recognized with the company chosen as Best Large Business (Services) in the Air New Zealand Cargo Export NZ 2019 Awards

* Total Contracted Units is a non-GAAP measure used by EROAD which represents the total units subject to a customer contract and includes both Units on Depot and units pending instalment.

EROAD’s growth in New Zealand met the company’s expectations for this quarter, with consistent pricing, attracting both enterprise and small to medium businesses.

The North American market for EROAD continued to deliver as anticipated with Total Contracted Units up 44% on Q1FY19. Installations have commenced for the enterprise fleet customer announced in Q4FY19 and the pipeline for enterprise remains strong and there is a solid run rate for small to medium businesses.    

The small to medium businesses run rate in Australia has yet to reach EROAD’s expectations however an encouraging enterprise pipeline has been established and, as we saw in North America, larger enterprise accounts generally involve a longer sales lead time.

By March 2019, this had delivered NZ$2.5B to NZTA for the sustainability of the NZ transport network. In the USA EROAD introduced the first electronic Weight Mile Tax service (2014) and the first independently verified Electronic Logging Device service (2017).
