“As the investment and attention surrounding the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to grow, TrackX is well positioned to become the dominate player in managing the flow of assets within the Industrial Internet of Things. This is being validated by our current multi-million-dollar pipeline, and specifically, the growth of opportunities within large multi-site, enterprise accounts. What’s exciting is that once we are in these accounts our customers see new opportunities in other divisions with other assets and applications.”

“Our revenue will not only grow from the currently scheduled deployment of solutions to our customer base, but also as these customers continue to extract more value from the TrackX platform and manage additional assets across their enterprises. While they see a rapid return on the initial investment, they further leverage the significant amount of data and information we provide to enable additional workflows and efficiencies within their operations.”
Software Development
TrackX continues to build out its software design and engineering team to address the needs of a diverse range of customers with customizable solutions. Asset tracking has become a pillar of the Internet of Things which is reshaping how humans interact and manage devices. More than 30 billion devices are expected to be connected via the internet by 2020 (BI Intelligence, The Internet of Everything, 2015).
