CUMMING, Ga. Dec. 15, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- PlanetLink Communications, Inc. (OTCBB:PLKC), a provider of satellite-based products and services, announced today that one of its U.S.-based customers has reported improved operating efficiencies as a result of TransTRAK(tm).
Fleet management and GPS-based vehicle tracking technologies are usually associated with companies having large fleets. Tony and Debra Dumitras, owners of All-1 Service, Inc. have shown that even small family-owned companies can realize the benefits associated with GPS technology. Exhibiting much energy and initiative, Tony and Debra have built All-1 Service into an integrated vending, janitorial, and landscape operation that offers significant value to corporate office parks. Their determination and resultant success offers a strong model for any small American businesses. With their success came a need to better manage the vehicles used in their business.
"In our business, no day is ever the same. In order to maintain a high level of customer service and satisfaction, we are constantly juggling customers, product, vehicles and people. The challenge is to get the appropriate people and product to a given place by a specific time. The TransTRAK(tm) system has made us much more efficient in accomplishing this objective. We no longer have to wonder where our vehicles are and can now achieve optimum use of people and vehicle assets. Additionally, we can assess the driving habits of our drivers, which produces slower driving speeds and conscientious drivers. We now have a basis from which to talk to our insurance company about rate reductions," stated Tony Dumitras, partner and company officer of All-1 Service.
PlanetLink Communications markets its TransTRAK(tm) system through its wholly owned subsidiary, PlanetTRAKS, Inc. PlanetTRAKS is marketing TransTRAK(tm) through agent relationships in the USA and in Mexico. The Company currently has agreements in place with agents located in Texas, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, and in Mexico, and has several others in progress. TransTRAK(tm) is a vehicle tracking system that is designed to deliver real-time vehicle location, speed, distance monitoring, and data on numerous other vehicle events.
Mr. Dewey Bain, CEO of PlanetLink Communications, added, "We are pleased to have had an opportunity to work with Tony's company and to see the success he is having with our system. All-1 Service is a great example of a successful small business, and the fact that the company's operations were improved with TransTRAK(tm) is a true testament to the value of our vehicle tracking system. We look forward to working with all types of small companies and contributing to their success."
