The company is also rolling out a new device for trailers and other assets that provides near real-time location alerts. The device alerts fleets in the event of changes to temperature, vibration, shock, humidity, light, or pressure. Settings can be configured over-the-air, and the device can be recharged via USB. It also has a low-power processor, which extends battery life.
Verizon Connect announced it has partnered with Glympse to provide what it called a more "data-driven mobile app experience.” The partnership will allow the Verizon Connect mobile workforce platform to provide critical information about a service technician or delivery driver, including live location and estimated time of arrival.
"We are excited to offer a solution that will help connect businesses more closely to their customers, giving them the ability to access near real-time information about their service and the location of their service professional,” said Wallin.
This new customer engagement solution will be available for all customers by next spring, Verizon Connect said.
The company also has launched a vision and camera category within its marketplace. A variety of video partners participated in the Latitude conference, showing off how their products can enhance safety and boost productivity.
