LoJack Surpasses 10,000 Subscribers in Construction Equipment Telematics

 LoJack has surpassed 10,000 subscribers to its services for construction equipment, helping to prevent theft and manage fleets.  

    “This major milestone serves to validate our strategy to expand the LoJack brand beyond our foundation of stolen vehicle recovery,” said Randy Ortiz, president and CEO of LoJack. “We have leveraged our well-known brand and distribution channels in the U.S. to establish telematics offerings that provide subscription-based services to our customers that are relevant on a daily basis.”

    The company’s key telematics products and solutions include:

• LoJack Connect for Equipment: allows business owners to precisely track equipment utilization, use real-time and historical data to improve operational efficiencies and asset management, remotely optimize fleet operations and streamline processes;
• LoJack Fleet Management Powered by TomTom, for ‘Main Street’ fleets: The recent integration with Intuit’s QuickBase with LoJack’s Fleet Management platform gives customers tools for lead generation to project completion;
• LoJack IM1 Management System for dealers: Enables dealership personnel to verify vehicle location, quickly access relevant vehicle information, track test drives and receive early-warning alerts if a vehicle is moved from a geofenced location. Can be used through tablets, smartphones and other mobile devices.

    “Over the next year, LoJack will continue to build on our successful pre-install strategy with our Stolen Vehicle Recovery business and accelerate our move into telematics, by leveraging the strength of our brand and U.S. distribution,” added Ortiz. “For the first time in LoJack’s history, we are establishing a new level of relevance for our customers by providing products and services that can be used every day to manage critical business operations.”
