Zeitunian will report to CEO Steve Towe and focus on executing Powerfleet’s Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) transformation.

Zeitunian led Coupa’s engineering and applied research teams, focusing on the development of its global supply chain design and planning SaaS platform. Prior to Coupa, he was VP of Engineering at LLamasoft (acquired by Coupa), where he spearheaded the company’s technology transformation from an on-premises/desktop driven set of offerings, into a SaaS based modular product offering, leading to a doubling of revenue in a little over three years and the acquisition by Coupa.

“This is an exciting time to be joining Powerfleet,” said Zeitunian. “The depth and breadth of our solutions – the rich history of innovative platform devices, sensors, suite of software applications and data, coupled with the continuous need for real-time operational, AI based insights across our SaaS offerings, Powerfleet is well positioned to capitalize on this growing opportunity. I look forward to playing a key role in the Company’s success.”

Zeitunian’s addition to Powerfleet’s executive team follows the appointment of Towe as the company’s CEO in January to support its continued growth in the industry. Towe and Zeitunian will work closely together, prioritizing the improvement of data focused initiatives and the growth of Powerfleet’s SaaS and IoT solutions. With Zeitunian’s leadership, Powerfleet will continue to improve upon its premier industry hardware, whilst enabling businesses to make more informed decisions using data-based solutions on Powerfleet’s platform. The shift comes as the supply chain continues to adjust to the long-lasting global impacts of COVID-19 and revises its best practices. Powerfleet looks to spearhead the industry adoption of SaaS-based products in the space as organizations look for new solutions that provide multiple options and scenarios based on real-time updates and insights.

 

“We’re delighted to welcome Jim to the company,” said Steve Towe, CEO of Powerfleet. “Jim’s proven experience in technology transformation and deep understanding of developing global supply chains and SaaS platform design aligns perfectly with our strategic objectives. His ability to spearhead industry-leading SaaS projects is exactly what Powerfleet needs as we evolve our offerings. Jim has demonstrated the ability to build world-class R&D teams on a global scale.

Kautex Expands Adoption of Powerfleet Telematics Solution

WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., February 17, 2022 — Powerfleet, Inc. (Nasdaq: AIOT), a global leader of subscription-based wireless solutions that manage enterprise assets for seamless business operations, today announced it will be further deploying its Powerfleet Enterprise industrial telematics solution to top global automotive supplier, Kautex, throughout 2022. Kautex has more than doubled the number of sites employing Powerfleet’s telematics solutions on its forklifts in the past 12 months, which spans six countries and three continents. An additional nine sites are planned for implementation in 2022.

Safety is at the core of Powerfleet’s Enterprise solution. The telematics platform (VAC4S) combined with Powerfleet’s Enterprise software helps Kautex improve workplace safety and security by restricting vehicle access to trained, authorized operators, enforcing electronic safety inspection checklists and sensing vehicle impacts. The Enterprise solution also empowers Kautex to effectively manage, track, monitor, and control its powered industrial vehicles and the operators who use them. The technology improves material handling productivity, reduce costs, and increase visibility by establishing accountability for the use of forklifts and other industrial trucks, ensuring equipment is in the proper place at the right time and streamlining workflow.

Since partnering with Powerfleet, Kautex has been able to right-size its fleet in several locations, across multiple time zones. In the first facility, Kautex reduced its fleet by over 10% after analyzing the utilization data from the Powerfleet Enterprise system. Their return on investment (ROI) was achieved through cost reductions of more than $10,000 per year, for each truck eliminated, which included the cost of a fork truck and maintenance.

“Since deploying the Powerfleet Enterprise solution across our industrial fleet, we have seen a reduction in impacts, accidents and damage to equipment and goods,” said Martin Weiss, Global Director Material Excellence at Kautex. “We have gone from adopting the solution at a single site to more than eight locations across the globe with plans for continued deployments. The key to making our new deployments so successful has been Powerfleet’s global presence and its ability to work with us in multiple geographies. This along with Powerfleet’s easy-to-use enterprise software played a major role in our decision to grow our partnership with Powerfleet.”

Powerfleet’s Enterprise solution has allowed Kautex to aggregate data from multiple facilities within one application, giving them faster, more accurate information for decision-making, which has helped Kautex deliver even greater safety, modernization and assess and implement best practices across facilities.

“We are always thrilled when customers quickly see the ROI of partnering with us,” explained Joel Norris, Vice President of Sales, Powerfleet. “Powerfleet’s stellar customer service and ability to address Kautex’s global operations has been key to our two companies’ thriving partnership. We are excited that their team will continue to lean on our Powerfleet Enterprise solution and our analytics platform, Powerfleet IQ, to not only ensure safety across their facilities but to also make better informed decisions when it comes to equipment utilization.”

Powerfleet Receives 2021 IoT Evolution Asset Tracking Award

Powerfleet Launches Vista, an Advanced Vehicle Video Solution with AI Capabilities

New Video Technology Enables Safer, More Efficient Commercial Vehicle Management

WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., June 22, 2021 — Powerfleet, Inc. (Nasdaq: AIOT) a global leader and provider of subscription-based wireless IoT and M2M solutions for securing, controlling, tracking and managing high-value enterprise assets, today announced the launch of Vista, a best-in-class in-vehicle video solution that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze and proactively manage risky driving situations across fleets. With Vista, Powerfleet is expanding its image technology portfolio, which includes the patent-pending LV-710 freight camera for trailers and containers and the CP4 System designed for the industrial truck market.

The global demand for dashboard and 360-degree camera technology is growing due to a considerable rise in the number of vehicle related accidents, thefts, and “nuclear verdicts” (jury awards of more than $10 million) in the trucking industry. The National Highway Safety Administration (NTSA) reports that an estimated 38,680 deaths in motor vehicle traffic crashes in 2020. Up to 96% of all auto accidents are a result of human error, which further emphasizes the need for fleets to invest in technology to maintain the safety of drivers, pedestrians, and assets.

Recorded video events provide additional contextual insights around hard braking and turning events, vehicle accidents as well as vehicle and content theft. Easy to install and operate, Vista delivers real-time, high-definition video from both road and driver facing cameras to bolster safety and training programs, help exonerate drivers, prevent accidents, and lower insurance costs.

“We have seen strong demand from customers in our vertical and geographic markets for additional video solutions that provide visual proof to improve safety and operations,” said Elizabeth Elkins, Chief Product Officer at Powerfleet. “As a leading IoT solutions provider, it made sense to add Vista to our portfolio of technology solutions focused on keeping drivers safe, protecting assets, and reducing insurance premiums. Whether you have a fleet of over-the-road trucks, cars or service and delivery vans, Vista can play a valuable part of a world-class safety program. The Vista video platform supports safe driving with the ability to auto-detect unsafe driving conditions while delivering real-time driver audio feedback and warnings to help correct risky driving behaviors as they occur.”

Vista is a flexible video solution that can operate stand-alone or as an integrated part of any fleet management system. It leverages the latest processor technology for edge-processing and future proofing and can be installed with minimal configuration. Vista wireless connectivity supports 4G LTE and has built-in Wi-Fi that supports auxiliary cameras for 360° views. Operations managers can stream live video, download video events, and access all cameras through a secure and comprehensive portal.

Other key features include:

• Live streaming: check on the conditions of the road, cab and your assets at any time
• Real time drive alerting (in-cab feature): cameras will notify driver of safety events in real time
• Video history review: all videos on the SD card can be accessed remotely or locally at anytime
• Parking mode: cameras will record any events that occur following sudden jolts when the vehicle is turned off
• Event-based notifications: including harsh acceleration or braking, distracted driving traits, harsh cornering, speeding and more

(Nasdaq: AIOT), a global leader and provider of subscription-based wireless IoT and M2M solutions for securing, controlling, tracking and managing high-value enterprise assets, has been selected by White Oak Transportation, Inc., a leading provider of brokerage, dedicated contract carriage, and truckload carriage based in Decatur, Alabama, to supply its trailer tracking solution to their 875-trailer fleet. Powerfleet’s solar and supercap powered LV-500 combined with its cloud-based software application will provide White Oak Transportation better asset visibility for improved customer satisfaction and operational efficiencies.

By leveraging Powerfleet’s LV-500, White Oak will be able to upgrade from 3G to 4G/LTE wireless service to ensure continuity of coverage and complete visibility over its fleet. Moreover, the trailer tracking solution will support White Oak Transportation’s commitments with contracted trailer pools at customer locations. With trailers moving to and from facilities and sometimes moved by foreign carrier’s drivers, it’s easy to lose track or misplace trailers. Using Powerfleet’s reporting dashboards and analytics to run automated yard checks, White Oak can share trailer location and other key performance indicators (KPIs) with customers to provide them with peace of mind that they are meeting contracted pool requirements.

“The level of data provided by the LV-500 ensures that we gain increased visibility into the fleet and can prioritize driver safety while delivering excellence in client service,” explained Ryan Waller, Vice President of White Oak Transportation. “As some of our contracted trailers stay at our customers’ sites for extended periods, access to accurate usage information is also critical in allowing us to improve preventative maintenance planning.”

The Powerfleet LV-500 delivers frequent reporting on the status and location of trailers through Powerfleet’s cloud-based application and integration into White Cloud’s Transportation Management System. A self-contained device, the LV-500 is dual-powered using solar-powered supercapacitors and long-lasting primary batteries, and can be installed in 10 minutes or less. Its rugged design provides extended years of service and a lower total cost of ownership. The LV-500 solution will help lower costs associated with underutilized trailers by enabling White Oak to expeditiously re-allocate them and by reducing the time required for drivers and yard workers searching for available trailers.

“With the 3G sunset around the corner, White Oak Transportation wanted to upgrade its old devices to a reliable LTE technology solution that will help them monitor and analyze their assets,” said Mark Stanton, GM of Supply Chain at Powerfleet. “Employing our patent pending LV-500 solution addresses the many challenges of having trailers offsite for long periods of time and is ideal for ongoing fleet maintenance and management.”
