BlackBerry Limited and Pana-Pacific announced that BlackBerry Radar, an asset tracking solution that provides visibility into cargo and mobile fleet assets, is now available to more than 2,800 heavy-duty truck dealerships across North America. As part of the agreement, Pana-Pacific’s customers have access to BlackBerry’s Radar-M, which is designed for trailers and containers, as well as Radar-L, which is designed for flatbeds, chassis, containers, heavy machinery, and other valuable transportation or non-powered equipment assets.
“At Pana-Pacific, we strive to offer unique products and programs that exceed the needs and expectations of our commercial vehicle customers,” said John Trenberth, CEO, Pana-Pacific. “We decided to add BlackBerry Radar to our portfolio because we believe the near-real-time information it provides will empower our customers to make better business decisions and improve the overall performance of their transportation operations.”
“BlackBerry Radar allows fleet managers and equipment owners to make smarter decisions for their business, saving time, money and resources,” said Philip Poulidis, SVP and GM of Radar, BlackBerry. “We’re excited to partner with forward-thinking companies, like Pana-Pacific, who realize the value that technology and actionable data can provide to the transportation and logistics industry.”
BlackBerry Radar is an innovative, fast install and data-driven solution that provides near real-time information such as vehicle location, route and mileage, temperature, humidity, door status, and cargo load state on a single intuitive on-line dashboard, according to the company. It collects up to 100 times more data than conventional GPS-based track and trace solutions, and uses this information to build a 360-degree visualization of a customer’s assets to ensure safety, security, and regulatory compliance. All data is stored securely on a cloud platform, which maintains the privacy of user information at all times.
