MADRID and IRVINE, Calif., June 3,
2021 /PRNewswire/ -- CalAmp (Nasdaq: CAMP), a
connected intelligence company that helps people and businesses
work smarter, today announced the launch of LoJack®
España, a wholly owned subsidiary in Spain. LoJack España brings to market
CalAmp's industry-leading cloud-based connected car services and
LoJack® Stolen Vehicle Recovery (SVR) solutions to help
automotive and motorbike dealers, insurers, rental companies,
construction OEMs and enterprises proactively monitor and manage
their fleets, and protect against losses due to theft.
Spain has historically ranked
third—only behind Italy and the
United Kingdom—among European countries with the highest vehicle
theft rates. It is estimated that 100 vehicles a day are stolen in
Spain according to the Ministry of
the Interior. LoJack España aims to not only combat cases of theft
but also improve recovery rates for stolen vehicles using its
innovative MESH technology which combines VHF, GPS and GSM to
provide fleet owners, managers and drivers with accurate, real-time
location tracking. MESH technology also enables each equipped car
to detect other stolen cars nearby to deliver best-in-class
recovery rates and provide peace of mind for consumers and
businesses.
In addition to SVR, LoJack España will offer car dealers
SmartDealer™, a CRM application that helps drive after-sales
revenue and build stronger customer relationships via the LoJack
Connect™ Mobile App. Using the CalAmp Telematics
Cloud and edge computing technology, the app provides
visibility into vehicle location, battery status and other
diagnostic data. Car rental companies can use the same connected
intelligence to protect their fleet and proactively monitor vehicle
health for preventative maintenance. Rental and insurance companies
can leverage the app's CrashBoxx™ automated crash reporting
for collision reconstruction and investigation.
LoJack España aims to immediately gain a strong customer
foothold in the Spanish market with several of the country's
largest insurance, car and motorcycle dealers, and rental
companies, taking advantage of existing international partnerships.
Direct relationships with local law enforcement agencies in
Spain are being re-established
under the leadership of José Ignacio
Rubio, former commercial and marketing director for
Detector. Rubio will assume the role of Country Director to lead
LoJack España in Spain and future
business expansion in Portugal to
bring the full breadth of CalAmp's solutions portfolio to the
region, including CalAmp iOn™ for fleet and asset
intelligence.
"I am thrilled to lead the launch of LoJack España. We are
excited to bring consumers, dealerships and insurers across
Spain not only superior protection
of vehicles with LoJack's best-in-class SVR solutions but also
cloud-based connected car services to improve safety and peace of
mind. Small fleet operators as well as large enterprises will
be able to make more informed decisions that reduce costs and
increase productivity with CalAmp's innovative fleet and asset
management solution. Our vision going into the market is to deliver
connected intelligence that impacts the Spanish market in
meaningful ways," said José Ignacio Rubio, country
director, LoJack España & Portugal.
"The launch of LoJack España marks a pivotal milestone in the
growth of LoJack and CalAmp in Europe," added Maurizio Iperti, senior vice president of LoJack
EMEA. "From Tracker in the United
Kingdom to LoJack Italia and now LoJack España, we're
continuing to expand our global reach, helping customers in these
markets better track, monitor and recover their vital assets with
levels of intelligence and visibility in ways they never thought
possible that will allow them to expand their business and
thrive."
