Our Vision for Development
Footprint
Our company continues its steady geographic expansion, winning over more and more car owners and entrepreneurs in new countries. As we expect to usher more countries across Latin America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America into the community of AUTHOR products fans, we intend to make ourselves heard at international industry exhibitions across these areas.
Production
The world does not stand still, and we keep progressing apace with it. In addition to our tried-and-true line of anti-theft devices and security systems, the company plans to:
• Add devices based on the new and increasingly popular CAN FD platforms.
• Expand the product line using 4G generation communications.
• Expand the line of telematic devices.
• Introduce a new keyfob to the market, redesigned and equipped with powerful new functionality.
• Update and upgrade the multi-tester.
• Introduce our brand-new high-tech product categories in the field of automotive security for cars, trucks, specialty vehicles, and motorhomes.
• Expand the range of accessories, peripherals, and supplemental equipment.
Solutions
AUTHOR is reaching for new horizons as it launches a new Solutions subdivision. It will include the following goals:
Development of the Fleet Management System hardware and software complex. As part of this project, in addition to services designed for insurance and leasing companies, we plan on pivoting over to catering motor transport companies, taxi companies, and municipal enterprises, providing our partners with a full range of modern tools for vehicle fleet control.
SaaS project development. Our mobile and web platforms will become even more flexible, providing our partners with a comprehensive gamut of customization services.
Industrial Design
Our industrial designers continuously work to perfect our product lines.
Unique in their design, AUTHOR KeyFob, AUTHOR TS-100 v2, and AUTHOR IGLA Check have already been released, and we naturally have no intention of stopping our innovation there.
Brand
We plan to carry out an evolutionary rebranding of our company:
Expansion and deeper development of the brand book with a focus on an environmental mindset.
Repackaging. Our packaging will still be attractive and recognizable but will also become more environmentally friendly and versatile.
Kit unification. To reduce environmental waste, full-color bulky manuals will be replaced by concise universal multilingual inserts with links to electronic versions of documents. Universal plastic cards will also be introduced.
Redesign of websites and social media pages. We will slightly modify the company image, brightening it up; most importantly, we will transform our showrooms to be more technologically advanced and user-friendly.
Media content. To popularize our brand and products, we plan to accelerate the production of all kinds of content many times over, paying particular attention to video production and PR campaigns.
Merchandise. The company plans to release a line of branded products—from workwear to specialized tools.
Focus on the Customer
We strive to make our relationships with clients not only mutually beneficial but also convenient. The company intends to launch a specialized B2B portal, which will make a range of helpful tools available to our partners:
• MediaBank (repository of all media content with easy navigation).
• Knowledge base and web portal for technical support.
• B2B storefront for convenient order placement, payment and tracking.
• Unified access point for all warranty support. The warranty replacement procedure will be further simplified.
• Billing system for financial management.
• Updated service portal with a news section on our products.
We are also working on creating a mobile version of the portal complete with automatic registration and firmware download using a smartphone, with no need for a PC or any additional devices.
We have already developed and will soon introduce a convenient procedure for registering and incentivizing testing for companies interested in collaborating on vehicle testing.
We also have great news for end-consumers:
We are excited to announce that we are about to release an all-new app, AUTHOR CONNECT 2.0, which will implement almost all, if not all, of the user suggestions from the current version of the app. You can expect a state-of-the-art, high-tech, and easy-to-use product. We look forward to its release!
A new voluntary extended warranty program for purchased devices will also be launched: the user will only need to fill out a simple form on the website and receive a two-year warranty from the date of registration.
Production
The company is growing at an incredibly rapid pace, and we are facing new challenges in terms of meeting the ever-growing demand. The plan is to significantly increase production capacity and purchase new technological equipment, including the installation of new surface mount lines for printed circuit boards.

A growing company always has new vacancies! Despite the HR department working busily to fill numerous positions, new vacancies are always opening up. We invite specialists, engineers, programmers, managers, and executives to join our team. We need your expertise and contribution to our dynamic, creative, and upbeat work environment.
