Blue Sky Network Partners With Nigerian Reseller to Expand Business in West Africa
Posted on: Monday, 19 March 2007, 12:00 CDT
Blue Sky Network (BSN), the global satellite logistics solution provider for two-way linking and managing remote transportation assets, today announced Upland Consulting Nigeria as its reseller in the West African country. This partnership enables Blue Sky Network to expand its business in this important developing region, and bring a new level of security and logistics to fleet operators in the field.
As part of its first deal, Upland Consulting initiated the sale of Blue Sky Network's D2000MD to a major upstream Nigerian oil company, which plans to deploy the satellite-based tracking equipment to effectively surmount current Nigerian security situations and allow for accurate vehicle, marine and personnel tracking. Using Blue Sky Network's unique SkyRouter asset management web portal, the customer will track and communicate with a large number of remote land and sea-based assets and workers. The movement, locations and mayday alerts of these vessels and people will be tracked and visible from any of the oil company's dispatch centers in the country.
"I am very excited about this opportunity to represent one of the world's leading and sophisticated providers of satellite-based asset tracking in a region that truly needs more secure and efficient operations," said Dr. Bola Awobamise, president and CEO of the Lagos, Nigeria based Upland Consulting. "Blue Sky Network's equipment is very important in challenging regions of the world like this. Working together to launch a major oil company is a terrific opportunity for us to showcase the safety and optimization of operations this solution can bring to any company operating a fleet of remote mobile assets."
"We look forward to extending our robust tracking end-to-end solutions into Nigeria, and throughout Africa," said Jon Gilbert, president, founder and CEO of Blue Sky Network. "Partnering with Upland Consulting is an essential platform for strengthening our presence as a global solutions provider."
