Just 20 years ago Jüri Tarkpea, now the VP of Platform Engineering at Fleet Complete, had a software company in a small Estonian town called Tartu. Their one-of-a-kind GPS tracker first caught the eye of Skype founder Toivo Annus and just 3 years ago the whole business was acquired by a huge global player Fleet Complete. Talk about a success story! 📈
Fleet Complete is the global leader in providing IoT solutions with the goal to reduce waste around anything that involves vehicles 🚚.. As their product falls on the B2B side, the wider audience might not be aware of all the Fleet Complete devices that surround us. But be well assured, they make our daily life a lot easier.
According to Jüri, Fleet Complete is like a fox 🦊 – agile and adaptive to every situation. Small enough to be flexible and fast. Big enough to serve huge global partners.
Read the interview to find out how the team gets stuff done and how they work with influential clients like Ford, AT&T and many more.
Interview
No mission statement is better than an insider giving us the overview of the company. Please tell us what does Fleet Complete do? Where could one find your product?
Essentially, we have two core values that we provide to our customers.
Firstly, reducing waste around everything that involves vehicles and other assets of a company. In addition to that, we also try to maximize the benefits that come out of these assets. Usually, it involves location tracking.
Location visibility is the cornerstone of our service, because once you get to the location, you can do business calculations, maintenance reminders and all sorts of reporting about anything related to the vehicles and assets. So, what we really do is help fleets thrive.
What exactly do you mean by “fleets”?
In our case they are bicycles, cars, heavy trucks, helicopters, boats and everything in between. If one knew where to look, this is exactly where our products are to be found — attached to all sorts of vehicles. Of course, in reality there are few who know where to search.
In fact, as we operate on the B2B side of the business world, the knowledge about us in general public is not high at all so that sometimes even the employees of the companies that use our products don’t know about all the systems we are providing them. They might know that some devices are being used but not if they are provided by Fleet Complete or somebody else.
We look at it as a good thing, after all, one of our ideals is that we take away the problems, not replace them with new ones. In that sense, being unknown is a really good thing — because everybody remembers troublemakers.
What is your career story in the company? How did you find Fleet Complete or how did Fleet Complete find you?
My career started almost 20 years ago as a developer with two friends. At the time we had a little software company in Tartu with a few map applications. There was one specific app that allowed one to see one’s location on an old soviet military map, using GPS trackers. At that time, it was a unique offering.
What is maybe interesting to mention is that Toivo Annus, the founder of Skype and one of the first business leaders in technology, used to have a hobby for off-road vehicles’ orientation back in 2004-2005. People who drove those vehicles started buying the software to know where the bogs and trenches are and this is how Toivo found out about us.
One of the companies he had invested in was Oskando which was focusing on GPS trackers´ hardware, so at one point it was only natural that he came to us and made an offer to merge.
Following that, we expanded to Baltics and found the first resellers in Eastern Europe and Nordics. Then we merged with a Danish company and we started growing bigger than just a Baltics’ company.
Three years ago, this whole thing was acquired by Fleet Complete and today I serve as the Global VP of Engineering. I think that most of the people working in the Estonian office today are on the same trajectory of one day contributing to this company and team at the highest possible level.
Wow, that’s one interesting journey you had! What is the common value that connects different international experts in the team?
“Getting stuff done”. In the corporate environment it can be really hard to maintain our own face and the personal style of communication.
Luckily, I believe that we have managed to do that. We are not afraid to express our opinions and we all bring our best to the table for the mutual goal of getting stuff done. So, I guess it is the common mindset that most connects us.
During these unprecedented times, how are things going with Fleet Complete?
When the first wave of COVID hit, very soon after, we started breaking many monthly records in sales. Our products and services proved to be extra valuable during these unprecedented times when life needed to become more digitalized in order to minimize physical contact between people.
So, the year has turned out quite well. In fact, so well that we have started a new hiring cycle to keep up with the customer demands.
At the same time internally, we switched to remote work mode from day 1 without any impact on the business. So, we are very flexible and allow everyone to decide what is the best working setup for them. Also, during that time we were offering virtual workout sessions with coaches on wellbeing as well as physical exercise.
While the company’s headquarter is in Toronto, Fleet Complete has 12 offices all around the world. Picture from Tartu office opening.
The company is rapidly expanding and Fleet Complete just opened a new office in Tallinn. Congratulations! Who are you looking for to join the team?
Indeed, thank you!
As I mentioned earlier, “getting stuff done” mindset plays a big role in our company. Therefore, we are first and foremost looking for people who align with that mindset.
In addition to that I want to say that we have seen too many success stories over the years of people who on the paper should have not been hired but aligned with the mindset, had grit and have now achieved great things.
Working in a company that is growing that fast is not always easy. It means that we also look for people who are searching for professional challenges. We do not have the luxury to decide everything for our employees, on the contrary, we are counting on them to make up their own mind and in case of urgency have the confidence to make the decision on their own.
If you are looking for professional challenges, share the “getting stuff done” mindset and are ready to take the lead when needed, we are a perfect match.
Specifically, we are looking at the moment: mobile developers, QA engineers, full-stack developers, UX lead and many more. Feel free to join the team:
You said that switching to remote work happened rather smoothly. Do you have any secrets on how you did that?
We support productivity. You should work where you are the most productive, be it the office, home or remote office — it doesn’t matter.
In addition to that I believe we are a supportive bunch that want to achieve great things and to have fun along the way.
Also, the self-development aspect is worth mentioning. During a short period of time you can see the strengths of each employee and we try to play on their strengths, we try to encourage their personal growth. From a materialistic perspective, our employees can choose their work equipment. We don’t offer golden laptops, but we’ll do as much as possible to help our employees to be more productive.
Thanks for taking the time to chat with us! To end the interview, we’ve got 5 rapid-fire questions to you.
If Fleet Complete would be an animal, what animal would it be?
A fox, because of agility and ability to find solutions. Adaptive to every situation.
What is the best thing that happened to the whole team this month?
Excellent question! We just launched our next generation web platform product for retail customers of AT&T of US.
Who is Fleet Complete’s biggest client in the world, in Estonia?
AT&T globally and Eesti Energia in Estonia.
What’s your favourite part of your current job?
Never had a boring day.
What do you believe is the biggest strength of your company right now?
Small enough to be agile and be able to execute rapidly. We are also big enough that we serve as partners for world’s biggest car manufacturers (Ford, General Motors, Daimler, Mitsubishi) and telecom companies.
More and more companies are investing time and money into the wellbeing of their team. You can find wonderful and unique perks companies offer in to improve the health & wellness of their employees. I’m happy to say that this has become the standard. And rightly so. Every sick day is time lost in productivity.
So how do you prevent people from getting sick? You cannot totally prevent this, especially in the Nordic countries but you can take steps to promote a healthier lifestyle, keep stress levels low and show some appreciation to your most valuable asset, which is your team.
Here we have compiled a list of 19 companies in Finland that go the extra mile. Let’s look at what they do to keep their team at their best possible health.
Health Checks
Regular health checks are very important. Regrettably, people don’t visit the doctors regularly and underlying health issues that could be fixed easily, get discovered in the late stages. By adding health checks as part of company perks in combination with reminders to actually go and see the doctor can go a long way.
In addition to this, there’s evidence that being on point about your team’s wellbeing can boost work morale quite significantly. Keeping in mind of course that this is a delicate and private matter.
All of the following could be addressed during a health check that The World Health Organisation (WHO) identifies as key risk factors to health:
Smoking
Drinking alcohol
High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Obesity
High blood glucose
Poorly balanced diet
Lack of exercise
In addition to discovering some health issues that need interference, regular health checks can point out some lifestyle choices that could be changed and give you the push you need to transform to a healthier lifestyle, such as quitting smoking for example.
Here are some of the companies in Finland that offer health checks on MeetFrank:
It goes without saying that nutrition is one of the key factors to a healthy lifestyle. Furthermore, even people at a healthy weight, poor diet is associated with major health risks that can cause illness and even death. These include heart disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, and certain types of cancer. By making smart food choices, you can help protect yourself from these health problems.
Always sticking to a healthy diet is harder than you’d expect. Here a little nudge from your workplace and colleagues can go a long way. Healthy snacks rather than chocolate available for the whole team helps healthy eating become a habit.
These companies offer fresh fruit & veg in the office
Remote work is starting to become the norm in all different types of businesses. From startups to public sector to corporate to SME’s. There’s more than enough research to suggest that remote work can help keep stress levels down and boost productivity.
More and more companies in Finland are adding remote work to their perks. Depending on the company, some offer 100% remote positions, some choose to have a few days per week working from home.
Here are companies offering remote work in Finland on MeetFrank:
Healthy eating is the key to keeping on top of your health but that is far from all. To keep a healthy body and mind you also need to keep active. This can be difficult to keep track of when you’re at an office job and only stand up a few times per day. On the other hand, gym memberships can be costly.
This is where a fitness culture at work can go a long way to keep you at your fittest. Rather than beers at the pub, having team sports events on the agenda can also help teamwork and boost overall work morale.
Here are some companies getting their team to be more active by offering gym membership:
Knowit offers an online training program including: time management, mindfulness, weight control, teamwork, efficiency and much more.
Advance B2B does weekly stretching classes in the office.
F-Secure takes it a step further with their own in-house gym.
Qentinel a paid child care service in case your kids get ill. Most of the time the parents choose to stay at home with kids however if there’s an important presentation or some reason why parent cannot be present at home, Qentinel covers the cost.

The happiness and health of your team directly affects productivity. Luckily we are no longer in an era where workers are seen as slaves. Your team is your most important asset and many companies are doing all they can to make sure their talent is well looked after.
Stress is directly linked to your health and this is crucial especially in Estonian climate. As soon as the summer months are over, the sickness season begins. As the sick pay compensation starts from the third day of being off a huge part of the workforce keeps coming in sick, infect their team and as a result stay sicker for longer. This issue is worse even in situations with single parents.
People also get sicker much easily when they are under stress, don’t have time to look after themselves or don’t keep a healthy diet and regular exercise. Companies are getting to an understanding that investing in the health & wellness of their team increases productivity and actually saves them capital.
We’ve compiled a list of the creme de la creme of companies in Estonia that put their talent’s wellness at the top of their agenda. Let’s take a look at how we picked these companies first. When a company adds themselves to MeetFrank, they pick the things that are most important to them. To you, the talented, it looks like this:
And here let me we give you an overview of different benefits and perks on offer by companies in Estonia to keep their team’s health and wellness on point, resulting in a happier work life.
Health Checks
On top of the obvious benefits of health checks such as improving your overall health it can also help boost loyalty and morale at work. They benefit both the employee and employer greatly. When we feel appreciated at work we tend to also put more effort in.
Regular health checks are very important but sadly Estonians go to the doctors too late and underlying health issues get discovered in the late stages. By creating a culture where health checks are the norm we drastically increase the overall health at the workplace and of the population overall.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) identifies the following key risk factors to health, all of these could be addressed during a health check:
Smoking
Drinking alcohol
High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Obesity
High blood glucose
Poorly balanced diet
Lack of exercise
Regular health checks may give you enough of a push or advice to change some of your lifestyle choices for improving your health – such as quitting smoking or changing your diet. Determining factors that can develop into a health issue at an early stage can improve your overall health & wellness by quite a lot.
Benefits to team:
Access to info on their health
Reduced risks to their health
Improvement in performance
Better mental health
Benefits to companies:
Reduced sickness absence
Higher overall happiness of staff
Reduced turnover of staff
Improvement in productivity
Improved morale and loyalty amongst employees – taking extra steps for the health of the team improves overall work satisfaction

Even though Estonia has a pretty good functioning national health care system, if you need to see a specialist fast, it makes more sense to go private. There are enough private clinics to get seen fast, however it can get pricey – on average a private doctors’ consultation can cost you starting from 50€ per visit.
An Estonian startup Viveo Health is tackling this! They connect you to a network of doctors and clinics. You can get seen virtually within minutes, get referrals to specialists and get e-prescriptions pretty much instantly. Their network includes a medical staff of over 5000 professionals. The payments are handled by your employer. Currently there are 1000 people who have joined their service and in Estonia, you have this extra love if you work at Proekspert 🙂
Companies offering private health care or extra compensation
The right diet is crucial for your health and wellness. In fact, diet related diseases have reached the top causes of death, surpassing lung cancer.
Of the 56.9 million deaths worldwide in 2016, more than half (54%) were due to the top 10 causes. Ischaemic heart disease and stroke are the world’s biggest killers, accounting for a combined 15.2 million deaths in 2016. These diseases have remained the leading causes of death globally in the last 15 years according to WHO
When healthy eating is promoted collectively, it is much easier to keep in track. Discussing healthy food options and diets in the kitchen with your team while snacking on some fresh fruit and nuts available can go a long way.
These companies offer fresh fruit & veg in the office
Remote work is one of the most requested perks our talent in Estonia has requested on MeetFrank. Furthermore, there’s plenty of data that shows the positives of remote work far outweigh the negatives. Remote work has been researched quite a bit and it is one of the perks that works great for keeping stress levels down.
Personally I know the immense benefits – of course depends on your type of responsibilities however taking a few days to work from the peace and quiet of your own home without spending time on commuting can really make the team more productive. In addition to this it adds a sense of trust to your team.
Here are companies offering remote work in Estonia on MeetFrank:
Healthy food and health checks are a great way to improve the overall health and the team morale. However, you also got to keep you body healthy with some exercise. Sports events are also great for team building.
Team sports events benefit the workplace by:
Improving productivity
Increasing motivation
Increasing collaboration
Encouraging creativity
Improving communication
Here are some companies getting their team to be more active by offering SportID or gym membership:
Not all perks fit into strict frames. Health trends change quite a bit but some stuff is well tested and adopted. Think of what else may affect you at work? Sitting by a computer all day hurts your back and posture, the lighting and screen hurts your eyes. Here’s some more extra steps that employers are taking to keep their team healthy.
Testlio – on top of attending to almost every health benefit we brought out in this write-up, they have scheduled a mindfulness course in the office + 1 month paid sabbatical if you’ve been on the team for 5 years.
COMODULE do planking in the office and have a no-mess orange juicer!
Helmes goes all out with a sleeping capsule, table tennis, pool table, sauna, stretching track… Not bad at all.
Insly has a ping-pong room on top of many other perks. But also worth a mention that Insly has also won an award for a work-friendly environment many years in a row in Estonia. I must mention that I had the pleasure of working with some of Insly’s team and share an office with them some time back and they do indeed deserve the award 🙂
At Katana MRP by default your birthday is a day off – take time to celebrate moving to the next level!
Love cats? Turnit has an office furball called Maša.
Omniva and Swedbank have their own health track on site and Creative Mobile does Kouksundo in the office in the mornings.
Cash On Go will give extra paid 7-days winter vacation for employees who have been in a team for 2 years.
Guardtime has weekly yoga sessions and sauna to use at any time.

The health and wellness of a company’s team can make or break it. Regrettably, there are still a lot of companies that see employees as a cost rather than value. But the world is changing. The more successful ones have realised that the company relies heavily on how happy and healthy they keep their talent (the latter is especially important in colder climates).
So here we give you an overview of different benefits and perks on offer by companies in Lithuania to keep their team’s health and wellness on point, resulting in higher productivity.
Healthy Food
The right diet is crucial for your health and wellness. In fact, diet related diseases have reached the top causes of death, surpassing lung cancer.

Of the 56.9 million deaths worldwide in 2016, more than half (54%) were due to the top 10 causes. Ischaemic heart disease and stroke are the world’s biggest killers, accounting for a combined 15.2 million deaths in 2016. These diseases have remained the leading causes of death globally in the last 15 years according to WHO
As they say – an apple a day keeps the doctor away.

Lithuania has very quickly established itself as a new and innovative fintech hub. A lot of this is thanks to the flexible regulations by the government. Lithuania’s e-money licences for example take 3-4x less time than in most other EU countries.

Lithuania began attracting fintech companies a few years ago, and as of January 2019 has issued a total of 83 licences to such firms, second only to Britain among European Union countries, according to government figures.
So let’s take a look at some of the fintech innovators in Lithuania and what they do on a daily basis.
Blockchain

Their team buildings often happen at cool places, like music festivals or abroad countries. Want to be part of it? Check out who theyre hiring on MeetFrank.
Mistertango
Mistertango was one of the first fintech’s in Lithuania and has had immense growth in the past few years. They are making a change by providing vital financial solutions to FinTech ecosystem members. And they strongly believe that this new neobanks era is changing the world.
Some time ago, one of their customers demanded a meeting with company owner Mr. Tango, and did not accept any other persons 🙂
Perhaps the in-demand Mr. Tango is looking for you? Check out on Meetfrank.
Railsbank
London-based Railsbank, regarded as a pioneer in the fintech sector, has an office in Vilnius. They enable their customers to solve any financial use-case that they are trying to build through using Railsbank’s flexible APIs..
Railsbank believes the most exciting thing about them is the fact that they are unique in the market, because they go beyond technology to also provide financial services operations and regulation for customers. Railsbank has created the platform to be a “complete financial services utility” enabling their customers to build, launch and operate their financial services business rapidly and safely.
The Railsbank Baftas. They have organised an onsite/offsite to celebrate the fact that they’ve just doubled the workforce. It’s a chance for people to get to know each and be up for certain key awards (just what those awards will be, we couldn’t possibly say).
Fintech in Lithuania
Fintech in Lithuania has really jumpstarted recently. As mentioned above, the government regulations do help. Where governments have taken a more liberal and a supporting stance, economies florish. Just look at Hong Kong and Singapore for example. Could Lithuania be the next Hong Kong of fintech? Let’s see where this goes.
What is MeetFrank Anyways?
MeetFrank is a recruitment app. Built for you, the talent first. We match you with the companies that are looking for someone with your skillset, rather than becoming just a CV in a pile of thousands. Check what companies are out there, learn more about them and find out how much they are willing to pay you. Whether you’re looking for remote work in Estonia, relocation or a steady 9-5 in the office, have a look what’s out there!
From the other side, for our awesome recruiters – find talent that meets your exact needs and salary expectations rather than spending time on candidates who are not right for you. Jobseekers can send direct job requests through the app without there even being a job offer listed. Find the talent you didn’t even know you were looking for!
We want everyone to love their job. And this is why we do this.
