BlackBerry partners with insurance company to share vehicle data

June 13, 2018
"By being able to access valuable, near real-time information, motor carriers can optimize their costs of risk and improve their return on investment," BlackBerry Technology Solutions President says.

BlackBerry and DMC Insurance, a provider of commercial transportation insurance solutions, have partnered to develop insurance-based products and services using near real-time data from BlackBerry Radar, such as vehicle location, route and mileage, temperature, humidity, door status, and cargo load state.

“The DMC Management Team averages over 30 years of experience in providing insurance for the transportation industry,” said Joe DeVito, CEO of DMC. “As a leader in this space, we strive to design products which take advantage of the latest technology for the benefit of our customers. BlackBerry Radar is exactly what we were looking for.”

“Our partnership with DMC reinforces the value BlackBerry Radar brings to the transportation market,” said Sandeep Chennakeshu, President, BlackBerry Technology Solutions. “By being able to access valuable, near real-time information, motor carriers can optimize their costs of risk and improve their return on investment. This is another great example of how BlackBerry Radar provides a solution to a real need in the transportation market.”

BlackBerry Radar is a data-driven solution that installs in minutes and provides near real-time information on an online dashboard. Radar collects up to 100 times more data than conventional GPS-based track and trace solutions, and uses this information to build a 360-degree visualization of a customer’s assets to ensure safety, security, and regulatory compliance, according to the company. All data is stored securely to maintain the privacy of user information at all times.
