Safe Fleet acquires software firm

Safe Fleet, a Belton, Missouri-based company that provides safety products for fleet vehicles worldwide, has acquired FleetMind Solutions Inc., based in Montreal. FleetMind provides onboard computing (OBC) systems to trucks operating in the recycling and waste industries. FleetMind notes that its OBC systems enable waste and recycling fleets to link drivers and vehicles to business operations in real-time to ensure improved safety, productivity, sustainability and customer service.

“We are excited to welcome FleetMind into the Safe Fleet family. This acquisition supports our vision to build the leading global provider of safety solutions for fleet vehicles,” says John Knox, president and CEO of Safe Fleet. “The addition of FleetMind expands Safe Fleet’s growing position in fleet management software and hardware for specialty fleet vehicles. The FleetMind product line is complementary to Safe Fleet’s existing fleet management products and expands Safe Fleet’s presence in the waste and recycling market.”

“For over 15 years, FleetMind has built a strong brand for its leadership in fleet management solutions for the waste and recycling industry,” says Martin Demers, FleetMind’s CEO. “By joining the Safe Fleet family, we gain a strong global partner who shares our vision of safer, greener and more productive fleets, and who brings access to new resources, technologies and markets toward accelerating our product and growth strategies. Most importantly, together with Safe Fleet, we will be better positioned to serve our customers with extended opportunities for our smart truck systems. We are excited to join a team that shares our commitment to innovation, and we look forward to working together to enhance fleet safety and performance for all fleets.”
