("Otodata" or the "Company"), a market leader in remote monitoring and vehicle tracking solutions, announced today that GI Partners, a leading private investment firm, has closed on a majority investment in the Company. Existing shareholders, including Renovo Capital ("Renovo") and management, will retain a minority stake in the Company.

Founded in 2010 and based in Montreal, Canada, Otodata provides full-stack remote monitoring solutions for distributed tank assets, with an installed base of more than 3.5 million monitored tanks globally.
