Wireless Matrix (TSX: WRX), a leading provider of GPS fleet tracking
services, announced today that the company has tripled its
Small-to-Medium Business (SMB) customer base so far in 2011, and added
approximately 5,400 service subscribers in this segment.
The SMB market segment has proven to be a rapid-growth arena for the
company’s award-winning FleetOutlook®
fleet tracking solution. Wireless Matrix’s strategy to engage
small-to-medium businesses has been an unqualified success in 2011,
adding almost 200 new customers – a 205% increase over 2010, with three
months remaining in the year.
The increase of 5,400 SMB subscribers includes both new customer wins
and the addition of new subscribers by existing customers. It represents
organic sales growth for the period of January – September 2011, and
does not include any subscribers realized as a result of Wireless
Matrix’s recent acquisition of SkyGuard, LLC nor subscribers added in
October.
Through a combination of universal tools, success management practices
and targeted marketing, the company has attained high momentum among
smaller service companies. The customers cross the full spectrum of the
service industry, including landscaping, towing, plumbing, roofing,
trucking, taxis, waste removal, medical services, mortuary, appliance
and electronics recycling, pest control, local municipalities,
cosmetics, masonry, publishing, maid services, party supplies and exotic
vehicle transport.
But for all their differences, these companies have two commonalities:
they’re small businesses growing in a difficult economy, and they need
to extend their operating budgets further. In FleetOutlook, they’ve
found the tools that allow them to save fuel, improve driver efficiency,
complete more work, and identify and eliminate waste in their operations.
"Our SMB market growth shows that FleetOutlook isn’t just a solution for
large enterprises. It’s a business solution that scales to any size
fleet,” said J. Richard Carlson, president and CEO of Wireless Matrix.
"It also indicates that the benefits of the FleetOutlook platform are
completely horizontal and industry agnostic. Whether you’re towing
vehicles, landscaping homes or delivering a bounce castle, or activating
cable service for one of nations’ leading multiple system operators,
FleetOutlook lets you deliver the best results possible for your
business and your customer.”
