PowerFleet and MiX Telematics have entered into a definitive agreement to form one of the largest mobile asset Internet of Things (IoT) Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers in the world.
This powerful combination will form a scaled, global entity of choice focused on helping customers save lives, time and money by solving mission-critical business challenges.
