Novatel Wireless' MT2500 Mobile Tracking device is selected to protect the South African fleet against damage, theft & loss. Vice-President of Sales for M2M Integrated Solutions (Novatel Wireless), Tyson King, said that “Thrifty needed a simple solution to provide detailed driver and vehicle information to help mitigate vehicle damage, loss and theft. Novatel Wireless’ Mobile Tracking solutions provide comprehensive analytics for a host of applications that are simple to use and easy to install.

The MD of Thrifty South Africa, Lance Govender, says that “Thrifty originally selected Novatel Wireless’ solutions based on their proven design and delivery of detailed analytics to suit our needs. Leveraging the information we are able to gather from our current fleet of vehicles means we can improve driver experiences, keep close track of inventory and pass on savings to our customers".
