CarData provides a comprehensive suite of vehicle reimbursement solutions aimed at modernizing how businesses manage employee transportation expenses. Their core offerings include the Cardata Cloud Platform, a centralized command center for vehicle programs, and mobile applications for real-time mileage tracking. These solutions cater primarily to enterprises reimbursing employees for personal vehicle use in a tax-compliant manner. Notable products include the FAVR (Fixed and Variable Rate) program, the Tax-Free Car Allowance (TFCA), and the Cents Per Mile (CPM) model, serving clients across sectors such as finance, human resources, and procurement in the US and Canada.

Cardata's revenue model involves transaction-based fees related to its vehicle reimbursement programs, where businesses pay for services based on user tiers or reimbursement volumes. Clients utilize the FAVR program and TFCA model, which may include fixed monthly fees alongside variable reimbursements based on mileage. This structure allows for direct employee payments, ensuring accurate reimbursements while minimizing administrative burdens for companies, thereby optimizing their vehicle reimbursement processes. In September 2023, CarData secured CAD 100 million in funding from Wavecrest Growth Partners and MassMutual Ventures, aimed at expanding market reach and developing existing and new products.

The company plans to enhance its product offerings and enter new geographic markets, with specific targets expected to be defined in the near future. The recent investment will be instrumental in supporting these initiatives.
