Low-Cost GPS Tracking Technology Opens Door to Small Business, Entrepreneur Adoption
DALLAS---Sensorlogic (www.sensorlogic.com) has released a robust, incredibly small, and easy-to-use tracking device - the eLoc GL-100 - at an affordable price point that enables companies of all sizes to track fixed and employee assets through a simple, Web-based interface. The GSM/GPS tracking device is pre-integrated with XpressIQ Service Suite, which provides a single Web-hosted solution for creating customized, location-based applications.
"The simplicity of the eLoc GL-100 and XpressIQ Service Suite provides a single, enterprise-grade tracking solution from one vendor, which eliminates multiple vendor complexities and fragmentation problems common to other provider offerings," said Greg Jones, vice president of marketing and business development for Sensorlogic. "Our low-cost solution also allows smaller business users to more easily adopt asset tracking capabilities. Our clients are able to implement internal tracking solutions very quickly, and we are empowering our entrepreneurial clients to take mobile tracking products to market in weeks - not months."
Sensorlogic believes workforce management will be a significant driver of market growth as companies are further challenged to gain productivity efficiencies, namely lone, remote and mobile employees, in a tight economy, said Jones.
The versatility of the eLoc GL-100 provides a viable solution widely for a wide range of assets, including fleet vehicles, pets and livestock, seniors with dementia and teen drivers.
Features of the eLoc GL-100 and XpressIQ Service Suite include:
* Quad-Band GSM for worldwide coverage
