PALO ALTO, Calif., March 5 /PRNewswire/ -- AirClic(R), a leading provider of business process mobilization solutions, today announced that Frost & Sullivan has awarded AirClic with the 2008 Mobility Award for the best solution in the transportation and distribution vertical market at the annual Frost & Sullivan Mobile & Wireless Enterprise event. AirClic was recognized for excellence in wireless innovation, providing effective mobilization solutions for companies leveraging AirClic's hosted MP 5 platform to deploy and manage multiple applications to meet the needs of their customers. The award was announced at the annual Mobility Awards Banquet on March 4, 2008 at the Marimonte Resort & Spa in Indian Wells, California.
The Frost & Sullivan Mobility Awards acknowledge companies who have produced the top products and services in the mobile and wireless industry. These awards are selected by a committee of more than 20 editors and analysts in the mobile and wireless industry, and identify excellence in technological innovation, customer service, leadership, and strategic product development. AirClic was selected based on a number of criteria including the significance of the product in the industry; competitive advantages of the product; product innovation in terms of unique or revolutionary technology, and value-added services provided to customers.
"I am extremely pleased that Frost & Sullivan has acknowledged AirClic for excellence within the transportation and distribution industry, particularly given this is a strategic industry for growth for AirClic in 2008," said Tim Bradley, AirClic CEO. "For companies that have globally dispersed mobile workforces, it is imperative to empower workers in the field with the tools they need to communicate important information regarding shipments, deliveries, and other field-based events back to the home office in real-time. This award validates the success we have seen helping industry market leaders such as UPS, Ryder Logistics, Alaska Airlines and Wessin Transport successfully track and manage activities in the field while also helping grow their businesses' bottom line as a result."
Frost & Sullivan honored AirClic with this award based on the unique features of AirClic MP 5, which allows transportation and distribution companies to rapidly customize applications to meet specific customer needs. AirClic MP 5 allows field workers to capture key job-related data using barcode scanners, pick-list, key-in or RFID features that can be modified remotely without requiring reinstallation of software. The unique built-in GPS functionality automatically tracks vital data, while the field worker gains visibility into the customer's business processes, eliminating the confusion or error that can occur in transit, while reducing paperwork.
"AirClic MP 5 is ideal for the transportation and distribution industry, given its powerful customization capabilities and end-to-end workflow functionality, versus existing products in the market that tend to provide limited, one-way tracking capabilities," said Samir Sakpal, Mobile & Wireless Industry North American research manager, Frost & Sullivan. "AirClic MP 5 offers the distinct ability to enable workers in the field to make immediate decisions that directly impact and benefit their customers. These superior features provide organizations with an effective and unique mobile solution, garnering AirClic the 2008 North American Mobility Award for Best Transportation & Distribution Vertical Market Solution."
