RV|ID was deployed by CanaDream Corp earlier this year. CanaDream’s rental RVs will now use RV|ID as a telematics inventory management solution. An announcement in this regard has been made by the Canadian tourism company, CanaDream.
Real-time mapping, reports and alerts for high-value mobile assets are provided by the innovative location-based system, RV|ID service. New tools are provided by the patent-pending RV|ID to CanaDream to efficiently and effectively manage its rental inventory. RV|ID uses GPS and wireless communications technology in collaboration with a sophisticated software analytics engine and an online portal for the same.
In a release, Corinna Hodge, Manager for National Fleet Operations at CanaDream, said, "RV|ID lets us know where each of our rental RVs is and helps us detect theft or improper use and locate the RV in an emergency, all in real-time. Deploying RV|ID is in furtherance of our ongoing corporate strategy of leveraging the latest technology to improve our business and the RV guest holiday experience."
RV|ID is developed and offered by Red Lantern Labs. According to Jon Corn who is the president of business development & sales for Red Lantern Labs, the company is pleased that RV|ID has proved to be a valuable tool for CanaDream. Rental fleet operators who are seeking new ways to manage their inventory will find RV|ID’s real-time mapping and analytics engine very useful.
