Redtail Telematics and KOBA pay-per-km partnership

Redtail Telematics appointed by KOBA

Redtail Telematics has been appointed by KOBA as they launch their pay-by-kilometre car insurance offering in Australia.

KOBA car insurance is led by serial entrepreneur Andrew Wong. My intro to Andrew was initially through ByMiles and their SaaS platform ByBits. Andrew and Andrew (that’s me) have forged a genuine partner relationship – digitally of course, as befits the tenor of the last twelve months. That partnership has been built on a solid foundation of listening and understanding, speedy and substantial responsiveness, and honesty and transparency of communication.

Gratifying.

Aside of the people bit, of course, REDTAIL had to provide what KOBA needed. Which is best in class, highly accurate and immediate journey data – made possible through proven high quality devices, rich platforms for both journey and incident data and dynamic API access and support.​

And, to quote the late great Karen Carpenter (well lyricist Paul Williams actually), we’ve only just begun.

Dialogues and activity are intensifying as we ramp up for a July launch. From fulfilment logistics to packaging branding, claims portal capabilities to driver scoring, ideas and potential solutions continue to evolve. The partnership will continue to evolve also as market take up and feedback informs ways forward. Shared values will underpin robust exchanges and testing of outcomes, but will move inevitably in the mutually desired direction of maximising opportunity.
