Bangkok TOP100 champion is bringing smiles across Thailand
When a vehicle leaves the headquarters for its daily routine, it often becomes invisible to the business. With DRVR, those days are over.
It is known as the land of smiles, but managing a fleet of vehicles in Thailand can lead to a lot of frowns. This is where DRVR wants to help improve the Thai economy.
The company won the TOP100 competition in Bangkok and is now set to compete for a chance to become the overall champion at Echelon Asia Summit 2019.
As the regional winner for Bangkok, DRVR will receive:
Free exhibition booth space in the TOP100 Zone at Echelon Asia Summit 2019
A pitching slot on the TOP100 stage on day 1 of Echelon (and chance to win S$50,000 Startup SG grant)
Intimate investor meetings and inclusion to Corporate business matching (get customers!)
5 Starter Tickets to Echelon Asia Summit to bring your team, family and friends

Let’s learn a bit more about DRVR!
DRVR
DRVR wants to reduce the cost of logistics for companies by helping them with their fleet management. Currently the industry is struggling to handle the increased size and complexity of commercial vehicle management.
It offers a solution that can scale easily with the company but provides flexibility for individual requirements. The company uses telematic technology that allows a central hub to monitor the vehicle’s performance, driver behaviour, unscheduled stops and more.
Founder David Henderson explained the company well in a previous e27 feature. He said,
“Sharing more details about the product, he said: “Suppose you have a fleet of trucks delivering goods. As soon as a truck leaves your warehouse, you lose the visibility of it. You don’t know where exactly the truck is, how it’s being driven, or if someone is pinching your cargo or valuable fuel, etc. What if you could make a digital clone of the truck and put that on the internet? You could suddenly see in real time information about the way it is being driven. This is what we do. We can also help you predict if it’s going to break down and help you service it. We take this raw data and we transform it into actionable knowledge.”
The company raised about US$450,000 at the end of last year.
