Introducing Verizon Connect and a New Era of
Connected Vehicle Solutions
Verizon Connect combines three
best-in-class fleet and mobile workforce management software companies
to deliver solutions that help drive safety, productivity and efficiency
for customers
The launch of
Verizon Connect marks the completed integration of its
existing connected vehicle division with two recently acquired fleet and
mobile workforce management software companies under a single, combined
brand. Verizon Connect is the culmination of more than $5 billion in
investments and offers customers a one-stop approach to connected
vehicle software solutions and services that help drive safety,
productivity and efficiency.
Verizon Connect provides the connectivity and data insights to
enable its customers to be more informed about vehicle and worker
location, efficiency, safety, productivity and compliance. Verizon
Connect customers also benefit from the combined experience of 3,500
dedicated professionals and nearly 20 years of telematics, mobile
workforce and fleet management expertise.
“One of the things we’re most proud of at Verizon Connect is the
potential our current and future technologies have for massive societal
impact,” said Andrés Irlando, CEO of Verizon Connect. “We’re working
with customers to maintain cold chain integrity and keep perishable
items safe during transport, routing customers’ vehicles more
efficiently to reduce emissions, monitoring vehicle diagnostics to
improve fuel efficiency, and providing a gamification app that helps
customers recognize and reward their safest drivers, just to name a
few.”
The Verizon Connect portfolio of solutions and services includes
comprehensive fleet and mobile workforce management software platforms,
embedded OEM hardware, and Hum by Verizon, a connected vehicle device
that helps create a safer, smarter and more connected driving experience
for consumers.
Former brands within Verizon’s connected vehicle portfolio
including Verizon Telematics, Fleetmatics and Telogis have all been
rebranded as Verizon Connect.
