I.D. Systems gets order through channel partner for vehicle management systems

Woodcliff Lake-based I.D. Systems Inc. announced Thursday that it has received an order through its channel partner Southeast Industrial Equipment Inc. to supply its PowerFleet wireless industrial vehicle management system.SIE will deploy 175 units of I.D. Systems’ VMS at a multibuilding distribution facility in Mexico. I.D. Systems will remotely host and service the system over a three year period.

“This order builds on the momentum we established in our VMS business during Q3, and reflects the increasing growth of the VMS market for tracking and managing industrial trucks,” I.D. Systems Chairman and CEO, Kenneth Ehrman, said in a prepared statement. “Since 2014, the end customer has leveraged our VMS technology to significantly enhance safety and improve productivity of its industrial assets at its central distribution facility in North America. We believe this order can present additional opportunities to work with this customer, as we continue to establish I.D. Systems’ technology as the leading standard across all of their distribution centers both domestically and internationally.

“From a strategic perspective, the win also demonstrates the success of our new sales approach, which includes transferring smaller customer sales and ongoing support to our channel partners, like SIE. This has allowed us to more effectively sell and service our enterprise-class customers.”

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
