WooCar

Smartphone telematics and fleet safety platform -- no hardware required

Data & Analytics Startup Seed

Overview

WooCar is a fleet telematics and driver safety platform for commercial fleet operators and insurance carriers offering usage-based insurance programs. The company is headquartered in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and its clients operate across more than 50 countries.

The platform uses smartphone-native sensors -- accelerometer, gyroscope, and GPS -- combined with machine learning models to capture and score driving behavior without requiring vehicle hardware installation or OBD-II dongles. Core capabilities include speed monitoring, harsh maneuver detection, driving style scoring, fuel consumption estimation, and CO2 emissions tracking. A conversational AI interface delivered through WhatsApp enables fleet managers and drivers to query fleet status, manage documents, and reconcile expenses through natural language interactions.

WooCar raised a Seed round from Globant Ventures in July 2020 and has participated in the SAP.iO Foundry Latin America accelerator and the Parallel18 program. The company reports that clients achieve up to 80% reduction in road accidents and 15% lower carbon emissions. Its platform is integrated with the SAP Logistics Business Network, enabling connectivity with enterprise supply chain workflows.
