VitalEdge Technologies acquires industrial telematics firm

Premium Content

US-based VitalEdge Technologies, which provides management software for heavy equipment dealerships and rental businesses, has acquired LHP Telematics, a supplier of tracking technology for rental fleets, OEMs, and mixed-fleet operations.

VitalEdge said the deal would connect dealership operations with machine-level data, including location, utilization, meter readings, engine hours, fault codes, and asset-health signals.

“Equipment dealers are being asked to do more with more complex fleets, more distributed operations, and higher customer expectations around uptime and service,” said Vikram Savkar, CEO of VitalEdge Technologies.

“VitalEdge has always been focused on helping dealers simplify complexity and grow with confidence. By bringing LHP Telematics into VitalEdge, we are strengthening our ability to connect dealer operations with the machine data that matters most, helping dealers see where equipment is, how it is being used, when it needs attention, and how they can better serve their customers.”

The tech firm said LHP Telematics’ capabilities were especially relevant for dealers and rental organizations that manage mixed fleets across multiple OEM brands, locations and customer environments.

Travis Jones, who was CEO of LHP, will join the VitalEdge executive team as executive vice president and general manager of telematics.

“LHP Telematics was built to help equipment organizations turn machine data into clear, useful insight,” said Jones. “Joining VitalEdge gives us the opportunity to bring that capability to a broader dealer community and connect it more closely to the systems dealers rely on every day. We share VitalEdge’s commitment to this industry and to helping dealers operate with greater visibility, confidence, and control.”

All LHP employees will join VitalEdge and the LHP office in Westfield, Indiana will continue as VitalEdge’s hub for telematics.

VitalEdge’s technology includes e-Emphasys ERP, IntelliDealer DMS and VitalityAI solutions. In September 2025, it acquired Integrated Rental, strengthening its position in the equipment rental market.

The company has more than 900 employees at offices in the US, Canada, Japan, the Netherlands, Australia and India.
