Partnership gains early momentum ' first joint product already sold into several key customers

Cadec Global, a provider of advanced fleet management solutions, and Blue Sky Technologies, Inc., a real-time supply chain visibility software provider, announced a technology partnership intended to help trucking fleets collect objective data that will help them make better business decisions.

Cadec's Mobius TTS' fleet management software helps trucking fleets monitor driver behavior, improve safety and reduce costs. BlueSky's Insight' supply chain visibility application provides the ability to measure key indicators, monitor process improvements, and maintain performance across the extended supply chain.

The first deliverable of the partnership was Mobius Insight. Launched in October 2008, it is an add-on to Cadec's Mobius TTS that provides pre-configured dashboards for transportation executives on safety, customer service, compliance, maintenance and costs.

Demonstrating the appeal of this type of solution, several companies have already purchased Mobius Insight. One is Martin's Famous Pastry Shoppe, Inc., which produces a line of potato roll and bread products sold in supermarkets up and down the East Coast. 'We're constantly looking for new ways to apply technology in order to improve efficiency,' said J. Anthony Martin, Vice President of Information Systems at Martin's. 'Cadec's Mobius TTS and Mobius Insight will help us hone in on key areas that can make the greatest impact on safety, fuel economy and ultimately our bottom line. We're very excited about it.'

Cadec and BlueSky plan to expand their joint solution set beyond Mobius Insight throughout 2009.

'We've been very encouraged by the strong response to Mobius Insight since it launched,' said Michael Baney, CEO of Cadec. 'In today's economy, companies have to be smarter than ever about running their fleets. There is a tremendous opportunity to extend supply chain management initiatives all the way out to the truck cab, to cover the front lines. Cadec's partnership with BlueSky provides the business intelligence needed to accomplish that.'

According to BlueSky President Steve Hensley, 'Greater visibility into the supply chain can bring incredible efficiencies to any transportation operation, because there are so many moving parts. Cadec is well established and respected among fleet managers. I can't imagine a better partner for us in the transportation industry.'
