Telematics company Geotab has announced the acquisition of Maps BI, a provider of enhanced visualization to better assist in the analysis of Big Data.
“My colleagues and I are very excited to be a part of Geotab, with whom we’ve developed a strong and fruitful relationship,” said Maps BI chief executive officer Mike Branch, now a member of Geotab’s staff. “This acquisition marks a new era of business intelligence, especially as Big Data plays a larger and larger role in both the telematics space and beyond. We look forward to providing our expertise in better serving both Geotab’s established and future resellers and customers.”
With the opportunity to offer such innovations as interactive dashboards and geospatial data visualization, Geotab explained that these visual capabilities paired with the MyGeotab software platform will provide customers with an easy spatial understanding of their aggregated data, allowing them to assess resulting analytics and better achieve fleet management goals.
“The business intelligence and visualization expertise we’ve gained will further catapult Geotab into the position of global telematics leader, all the while providing our customers with new tools to further support their pursuit of superior fleet operations,” said Geotab chief executive officer Neil Cawse.
