[SatNews] PassTime has launched a fleet division and has selected Geotab’s fleet management technology as the major foundation of its solution portfolio.

The new fleet division, PassTime Fleet Finance and Telematics, complements PassTime’s quality, reliability and customer support model that has made the company an industry leader in the automotive GPS tracking industry for more than twenty years. The division will be led by Peter Fowler, who, previous to joining PassTime, had successfully launched what turned into the market leading US M2M business of Siemens.  In addition, PassTime has brought on Harald Fritz who was formerly at Web-Tech Wireless, where during their growth years he played a vital role as SVP of sales and marketing.

“PassTime has historically been focused on providing GPS tracking and Automated Collection Technology solutions to the automotive lending industry.  With our expertise in providing technology to the automotive finance industry, reliability and customer service, expanding in to the fleet space is a natural progression for the company.  We brought the right people in place, partnered with an industry leader Geotab, and this is the perfect opportunity to provide a new offering to the fleet industry,” said Stan Schwarz, founder and CEO of PassTime.

PassTime Fleet Finance and Telematics has selected Geotab, Inc., a leading solutions provider for over ten years.  Geotab provides the world’s most sophisticated GPS fleet management solutions that help organizations develop company-wide management policies to improve driver behavior, enhance driver safety, and on-road productivity.  Geotab was recently named in Connected World’s prestigious 2013 and 2014 CW100 list and sits among the top 100 machine-to-machine (M2M) companies.
