Subject: Inside InSight - E-News from SkyBitz

Dear Customers,
Welcome to the first quarterly e-newsletter from SkyBitz. We wanted to share some exciting news and keep you updated on the latest innovations here at SkyBitz.

SkyBitz Secures
$10 Million in Additional Growth Capital.

Investment in new product development continues at SkyBitz, fueled by $10 million in Series D funding. Spurred by outstanding market-place acceptance, this growth capital will be used to support development of new applications and service. It's building on the company's work with more than 320 fleets and over 125,000 assets.

All of North America is Now SkyBitz Country.

We've added Mexico coverage in partnership with Grupo Pegaso of Mexico City. Mexico is the third leg in our North American coverage, rounding out the United States and Canada. SkyBitz de Mexico will support Mexico-based fleets with Grupo Pegaso overseeing sales and marketing, and product development continuing at SkyBitz's U.S. headquarters.

- Rick Burtner, CEO

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



      The routes you cover, the cities you travel, the yards you work - they aren't round. That means circular radius landmarks may not be providing you the detail you really need for precise tracking. Polygonal Landmark works similar to conventional SkyFencing solutions, but allows you to create your own irregularly shaped landmarks. A simple-to-use tool allows you to draw up to 20 points - more than any competitive product. That adds up to a more precisely defined landmark covering an area from a few hundred square feet to hundreds of square miles in size.

  Polygonal Landmark gives you the precision you need to:
• More accurately look up position details of trailers by landmark
• Run idle time reports per landmark, capturing detention billing
• Gain the added security of knowing more exactly when trailers enter or
  leave specific locations

      USA Logistics Carriers switched to SkyBitz Smart Sensor Tracking because it wanted less information - but more accurate information - about its 1,500 trailers. Says Robert Long, vice president of financial development, "we only get a signal when [the trailer] moves." That's because Smart Sensor Tracking auto-
matically filters out non-essential starts and stops - such as traffic lights and fuel stops. "That gives a more accurate picture of where [the trailer] is at," adds Long. "Our goal is to optimize trailer usage and reduce downtime. All the information we get has been pertinent." To read the entire story, click here.

      Every day, companies discover how SkyBitz trailer tracking can improve their ROI. In 1999, Mesilla Valley Transportation began an ambitious five-year growth plan and installed SkyBitz trailer tracking as a key element.
The company has reduced its trailer-to-tractor ratio from 3.4:1 to 2.6:1 and increased detention billing to over $90,000 per month. According to Mike Kelley, Director of Information Technology, "Our SkyBitz system almost immediately paid for itself and has been vital to our record growth." To read the entire story, click here.
