DDS Wireless Garners Significant Win in Newly Opened Quebec
Richmond, BC – DDS Wireless International Inc. (TSX: DD) has made an important win in the Quebec taxi market which was only recently opened to in-vehicle taxi dispatch system equipment through regulatory changes. The Company also continues to successfully develop its Transit business with the sale of its first hosted service offering.
Digital Dispatch, the Company’s taxi division, has signed a new contract with Taxis de Sherbrooke Inc. in Sherbrooke, Quebec for a Pathfinder dispatch system with 90 Vector 530 mobile data terminals. This represents an important first win in the newly opened Quebec market which, until recently, had regulations prohibiting mobile data terminals in taxis. The Company’s Taxi division is actively pursuing this market and expects to sign further contracts in the near future.
Marc Kirouac, the President of Taxis de Sherbrooke said "We chose the Digital Dispatch Pathfinder System combined with the Vector 530 mobile data terminals mainly for its established reputation and capacity for long term customer support. For us, the customer support is a more important criteria than the product itself especially with high-tech dispatch software for the taxi business.
After evaluating several systems for 14 months, the DDS solution was the one that meets all of our needs. Digital Dispatch will provide a French version of Pathfinder for us and that was very important. We are proud that Taxis de Sherbrooke is the first company in the province of Quebec to sign a deal with Digital Dispatch Systems."
StrataGen Systems, the transit business of DDS Wireless, today announced the signing of their first ADEPT™ Hosted customer, Mercy Transportation. Targeted to have their system switched on in February, Mercy will be taking advantage of StrataGen’s new fully hosted package, which bundles ADEPT™ software, in vehicle MDT’s, wireless data services and all associated equipment into one affordable monthly plan.
“This signals a new era in Paratransit software, opening up accessibility to the world’s best demand response solution at a low monthly cost. We’re very pleased to welcome Mercy Transportation on board”, said Brent Gushulak, StrataGen’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing on Monday.
StrataGen has also continued its close relationship with Avail Technologies, with a significant order cementing StrataGen as Avail’s transit software and in-vehicle MDT supplier of choice. “Avail is a trusted partner of StrataGen, with many more exciting projects coming up in the new year”, commented Mr Gushulak.
These orders along with other small orders for the Transit Business unit in aggregate exceed one million in total revenue and recurring revenue.
