Connexionz has opened a new sales and marketing office in Denver, Colo., the company's second location, which will host a growing team of dedicated business development staff.
Connexionz U.S. Sales Director Brian Garrett says the business growth has been driven by numerous competitive wins in recent months, plus existing clients purchasing additional product options/features, and recommitments from clients for service and maintenance on current bus technology systems.
“It’s been a very busy and productive 2021 for us so far, with new systems being installed in California, Wisconsin, Washington, Tennessee, North Carolina, Oregon and Puerto Rico,” Garrett said.
The company has increased sales staff threefold while also expanding its project management, support and vehicle technician teams.
He says among the company’s recent wins is the deployment of tracking and dispatch system for a 35-vehicle transit agency in Racine, Wis.
“Racine is an exciting win for us, partly because the competition was so robust, but we also knew that our established CAD/AVL and tracking technology and experience integrating with Automatic Passenger Counting (APC) systems would make a real difference for both Racine’s transit team and the passengers they serve," Garrett said.
Also new to the Connexionz portfolio is a project designed to enable SolTrans in Vallejo, Calif., to undertake ‘platform loading’, a process that requires a highly accurate solution. SolTrans, an agency with nearly 60 fleet vehicles completes more than 1.4 million passenger trips per year.
The company selected Connexionz from among seven competitors, saying they know of only one other company providing anything like the Connexionz platform loading system.
“We’ve done this specific kind of dynamic transit center work before so were well placed to develop and implement the kind of specific innovative solutions SolTrans required,” Garrett said.
