Comworxx Selects iFLEET to Provide Services
Business Editors/Technology WritersSARASOTA, Fla.--Jan. 3, 2001--Comworxx, Inc. (Comworxx) a Florida-based mobile telematics company, announced today that it has selected iFLEET, Inc. of Roswell, Georgia to provide a suite of back-end services for Comworxx devices. Comworxx will leverage iFLEET's suite of safety, security and location-based telematics services provided out of iFLEET's two state of the art mobile response centers. The selection is a key component in Comworxx' launch strategy, offering state-of-the-art location-specific information service subscriptions to fleet, business, and consumer customers in 2001.
The selection of iFLEET assures that Comworxx' offerings will effectively address mobile telematics' primary challenges: connectivity and content. Using its Global Transport Telematics System (GTTS), Comworxx will seamlessly deliver iFLEET services to end users via multiple wireless networks, communication protocols, and client-side devices. iFLEET's mobile services include roadside assistance, personal and vehicle safety and security monitoring, and concierge services, among others.
"We are extremely enthusiastic about the selection of iFLEET," stated Mike Jonas, CEO of Comworxx. "iFLEET was among the earliest to develop a suite of services for the telematics market, and the years they have invested in the development of roadside assistance and emergency services will play a vital role in the overall Comworxx service package."
iFLEET, which handles more than 1.2 million mobile service events per year through its web-enabled services engine, is a leading provider of services to both the consumer and commercial markets. This agreement is a further expansion of iFLEET's strategy to support industry leading telematics devices with a seamless suite of services.
"The Comworxx relationship is another step in our strategy to be the leading provider of mobile information services to the leading platforms in the telematics industry. We are pleased that, after its review of telematics service providers, Comworxx chose iFLEET as its primary backend services provider," said Rusty Gordon, CEO of iFLEET, Inc.
The iFLEET collaboration is the latest development in Comworxx' growing presence in the mobile telematics arena. Since its midyear inception, Comworxx has made significant investments in the technology and the infrastructure required to support these services following its launch at the 2001 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
