I.D. Systems has received an order through its strategic channel partner, Southeast Industrial Equipment Inc. (SIE), to supply its PowerFleet wireless industrial vehicle management system (VMS).

SIE will deploy 175 units of I.D. Systems' VAC4 next-generation VMS at a multi-building distribution facility in Mexico for a global leader in household appliances. I.D. Systems will remotely host the system and provide service and support over a three-year period. The installation will mark the second deployment of I.D. Systems' PowerFleet solution for the customer.

"This order builds on the momentum we established in our VMS business during Q3 (of 2015) and reflects the increasing growth of the VMS market for tracking and managing industrial trucks," says I.D. Systems chairman and CEO, Kenneth Ehrman. "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 centres, 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."

Headquartered in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, with subsidiaries in Texas, Germany, and the United Kingdom, I.D. Systems is a leading global provider of wireless solutions for securing, controlling, tracking and managing high-value enterprise assets, including industrial vehicles, rental cars, trailers, containers and cargo.
