AppLocation Partners with RFind to Add Mobility to Affordable RTLS

Asset Tracking MOBILEFusion Software Platform Enables Technology Convergence

VICTORIA, BC Canada — October, 2007 — AppLocation Systems Inc. President Gary Hartwig announced the immediate availability of RFind’s tag to tag real time locating system (RTLS) on the MOBILEFusion™ Asset Tracking Logistics Platform enabling companies to deploy location data directly into their Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems from wireless handheld devices. MOBILEFusion is a carrier grade platform that enables location sensitive solutions linking telco networks to ERP applications such as inventory, billing and order entry.

“Adding affordable RTLS to our product offering is a benefit for our clients and makes sense from an integration perspective. The convergence of RFID, GPS and LBS requires our next generation platform to integrate wireless location sensitive applications across business units and enable cradle to grave supply chain visibility,” says Hartwig. “We provide the plug and play interface with telco systems so clients can focus on running their business,” He went on to say, “We achieve 1 meter accuracy using GPS in our yard management implementations with a technology that has an inherent 10 meter accuracy. RFind’s RTLS product has the ability to perform well in bounded yards that do not require wide area coverage or inside where GPS doesn’t work. We are optimistic that the dramatic price differentiator of the RFind tag to tag RTLS solution compared to other technologies combined with its accuracy and flexibility will fuel its adoption in more yard and locating applications.”

RFind CEO, Sharon Barnes commented, “We are pleased to have AppLocation Systems on board as a partner. Their expertise with mobile tracking and specialized knowledge in the location based services and carrier network field augments our client offering.”

AppLocation President Hartwig concludes, “Operations and logistics managers tell us they need to use every tool available to remain competitive due to increasing customer expectations. RFind’s Expeditor 2D RTLS system and AppLocation’s carrier grade MOBILEFusion™ platform logically integrate asset tracking as part of the logistics and supply chain equation. We can answer the question, ‘How do I integrate LBS and RTLS in my wireless network?’”
