Nexterna Inc., which provides mobile resource management (MRM) solutions, announced on April 17 it has organized the company into three business units — Global Rail, Transportation and Field Service — to better address the needs of several key target markets. While each new business unit will have separate product management, sales and engineering departments, all divisions will leverage the core Nexterna strengths in wireless data communications and location tracking technologies. “This reorganization serves two major purposes for us,” said Lynden Tennison, president and CEO of Nexterna. “It brings us closer to our customers and their unique requirements, and it allows us to respond more quickly to changes in the marketplace, which is key since the rapid growth of the wireless data industry is showing no signs of slowing down.” Nexterna’s family of MRM solutions will be packaged and marketed under a comprehensive brand name – Nexterna GoWare(TM). Each division will identify, design and sell targeted solutions for its markets. “An enterprise’s most valuable assets are not sitting in the corporate office. The most valuable assets are mobile, which are the people and vehicles that service the customers’ needs,” said Mike Hedge, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Nexterna. “Today’s economy and competitive marketplace demands maximum productivity from mobile resources and Nexterna GoWare provides everything our customers need, including software, hardware, airtime and services, to keep their resources on the go.” The Transportation division devises fleet management solutions called FleetGo(TM) that are uniquely tailored to LTL (Less-than-Truckload), private fleet, logistics, inland water carrier and heavy machinery markets. Nexterna’s transportation/fleet solutions are integrated freight management and communications systems that are specifically engineered to address the cost and efficiency problems confronting fleet managers across multiple market segments, according to Hedge. The Field Service division provides a complete spectrum of wireless products and services called FieldGo(TM). These solutions give sales, support and field service departments unique capabilities in responding to customer demands. By providing quick response and flexible message options between the dispatch center and mobile workers, FieldGo solutions transform service vehicle fleets into Internet-enabled mobile offices. Capabilities provided by FieldGo include: * Sales and/or work order creation and distribution * Complete contract and warranty management * Customer data management * Inventory and logistics management * Service invoice generation and management * Mobile printing, faxing and scanning * Electronic signature capture * Two-way paging * Wireless data communications Several functional departments, such as professional services, customer care, marketing, finance and human resources, will continue to support each of the three business units, according to Hedge.
