In this quarter, we announced a collaboration with Sage, the market leader in cloud accounting software, to deliver real-time accounting for companies with fleets of vehicles. We also partnered with Continental/VDO. The alliance brings together Europe’s number one fleet management provider as well as Europe’s leading transportation compliance solution provider. Both organizations have large install bases across Europe and this collaboration will more reliably and efficiently handle the transfer and management of Tachograph data.
In addition, the TomTom PRO 2020, our new entry-level driver terminal, was launched with the first units shipping in the EU during Q4. The TomTom PRO 2020 combines Driver ID, Logbook and Working Times with Active Driver Feedback into a compact terminal.
