Scope develops an AI-powered platform that automates inspection, testing, and certification processes, providing a data and automation solution for critical industries. Its core offering streamlines complex workflows by leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance decision-making, significantly reduce manual errors, and improve overall operational efficiency in various inspection regimes. The platform translates labor-intensive, often subjective assessments into consistent, automated analyses, standardizing reporting and quality control.
The company was co-founded by Jonathan Low and Jakob Cassiman, who identified a significant opportunity to modernize the historically manual Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) sector. Low, with a background in building advanced language models and a strong technical foundation, combined with Cassiman's insights, sought to bring sophisticated AI capabilities to an industry ripe for technological advancement. Their approach stemmed from recognizing the potential for AI to transform traditional inspection practices.
Scope’s platform serves professionals within the extensive testing, inspection, and certification industries, providing them with tools to optimize their operations. The company envisions a future where inspection processes are not only highly accurate but also seamlessly integrated and efficient, allowing businesses to achieve higher productivity and maintain rigorous compliance standards. Its long-term goal is to lead the transformation of industrial verification through intelligent automation.

Scope Technology is a global leader in telematics solutions, providing end-to-end hardware, software, and analytics for fleet management, usage-based insurance (UBI), leasing/rental, and OEM markets.[1][2][4] Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Bryanston, South Africa, the company serves fleet operators, insurers, and automotive providers across 65+ countries, processing over 150 billion kilometers of driving data to optimize efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance safety.[1][2][4] With $41.5 million in annual revenue and 88-110 employees, it converges data from devices into actionable insights via AI and advanced analytics, enabling personalized UBI experiences and smarter fleet operations.[1][4]
Scope Technology was founded in 1999 in South Africa, pioneering the first real-time commercial vehicle telemetry system and establishing itself as an early innovator in telematics.[2] The company's journey reflects continuous evolution, marked by milestones like launching the first UBI product in 2008, connected OBD devices in 2016, and accident reconstruction using 3D and virtual reality.[2] Over 25 years, it expanded globally across four continents—LATAM, Europe, Africa—with offices and a robust distribution network, fueled by R&D investments, multiple patents, and strategic moves like acquiring a controlling stake in UK-based Pace Technology for advanced vehicle tracking.[1][2] This growth transformed a bold vision for vehicle-tech interaction into a worldwide presence serving diverse clients.[2]
Scope Technology rides the telematics wave driven by connected vehicles, IoT proliferation, and demand for data-driven mobility in insurance and logistics.[1][3][4] Its timing aligns with rising UBI adoption—addressing insurer challenges like complex implementations via end-to-end platforms—and fleet digitization amid supply chain pressures and electrification trends.[2][3] Market forces like AI analytics growth and regulatory pushes for safer driving favor its strengths, influencing the ecosystem by accelerating UBI pilots, enhancing risk modeling, and partnering with giants like CSC for actuarial-integrated solutions.[3][4] As a bridge across aftermarket, OEM, and insurance, it redefines efficiency in a $50B+ telematics market.
Scope Technology is poised for accelerated growth through M&A, AI-enhanced analytics, and expansion into EV telematics and predictive maintenance.[2][4] Trends like autonomous vehicles, 5G connectivity, and personalized insurance will amplify its data moat, potentially doubling revenue as global fleets digitize. Its influence may evolve from regional pioneer to indispensable ecosystem player, unlocking efficiencies that started with that 1999 telemetry breakthrough—proving telematics' power to transform mobility worldwide.[1][2]
