Burlington, Mass. February 26, 2004
Maptuit, a provider of road and location web services, today announced it has enhanced and expanded its coverage of Mexico to help its customers combat cargo theft. With millions of trucks crossing the border from the United States into Mexico annually, transportation companies are looking for ways to ensure their cargo arrives safely at its destination while resisting threat of theft and hijacking. Maptuit is helping combat this threat by providing a location information system that offers 24/7 visibility into trailer and fleet activity throughout the Mexican road network.
"Cargo security is of critical importance to our customers, and Mexico is certainly a country where we see an emphasis on continuous security of trailers and fleets," stated Pradeep Kumar, VP of Product Development of Fleetilla. "Our integration with Maptuit allows our customers to monitor the location of their trailers throughout Mexico 24/7 and reduce the loss of valuable cargo."
Maptuit Server™ gives asset tracking companies like Fleetilla, the ability to provide their customers a real-time view into the exact location of their trailers and fleets throughout the Mexican road network thus combating any threat of cargo theft or hijacking. Maptuit offers the accuracy needed to track cargo on the 3 million roads within Mexico in addition to the United States and Canada. With Maptuit Server, these companies can pinpoint the location of their assets using both street addresses and geographic coordinates, and then provides detailed street-level maps with overlaid descriptive information.
"Offering our customers coverage into Mexico will provide them with the optimal visibility as their assets are moved throughout North America," stated Jeff Papows, CEO of Maptuit. "With hijacking purported to be a billion dollar plus industry in Mexico, we and our partners are helping transportation companies combat the threat of theft with the tools needed to track and locate their assets in real time."
