Austrian wireless service provider Identec Solutions has announced that it has entered into a multi-year global strategic alliance with WAM Technologies, a new technology division of US software company Mark-It Services.
The new business alliance will reportedly merge Identec Solutions' market expertise with WAM Technologies’ patented refrigerated container interface technology, integrating it with Identec Solutions' reefer-mountable RFID tags.
For the past five years, Identec Solutions and WAM have teamed up to deliver successful reefer monitoring solutions to major container terminals and port authorities across the globe.
According to Identec Solutions, this new agreement will significantly broaden the capabilities of the system and enable the company to customise the WAM software and functionality to meet the needs of its port and terminal customers.
“We are very excited to have a formal strategic alliance with Identec Solutions, which has been a trusted working partner for over five years,' said Mark Heck, CEO at Mark-It Services. 'The innovative synergies between the two companies bring together complementary skills, knowledge and resources in new ways. Mark-It Services and Identec Solutions are a perfect fit to develop an all-inclusive reefer monitoring solution that ports and terminal operators have been waiting for quite a while.”
Parvez Mansuri, CIO of WAM Technologies, added: “Integrating Identec Solutions’ extensive sales force, global footprint and technical expertise in RFID with Mark-It Services’ specialisation in all aspects of the cold asset supply chain make us the preferred choice for remote reefer monitoring solutions. Among the prime advantages of this alliance for both Mark-It and Identec Solutions is the opportunity to focus on developing new feature-rich solutions that will make reefer issues in container terminals a thing of the past.”
