CAPE TOWN, South Africa and BRATISLAVA, Slovakia, April 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

MiX Telematics, a leading global provider of fleet and mobile asset management solutions, has partnered with Sygic, a leader in GPS navigation software. The collaboration primarily serves to integrate Sygic's fleet navigation into MiX Telematics's latest Android-based MiX Rovi - a rugged in-cab terminal built specifically for demanding working environments of commercial fleets.

"Working with Sygic means we can add best-of-breed on-board navigation and geofence capabilities to the MiX Rovi, in addition to other functionality like Hours of Service (HOS), driver feedback and jobs and messaging," says Catherine Lewis, Executive Vice President of Technology at MiX Telematics. "Sygic's Software Development Kit (SDK) for Android was easy to work with and allowed us to innovate in areas previously not possible, such as speed monitoring based on road speed limits or custom geofence speed limits, which help our customers to monitor and improve the behaviour of their drivers."

Sygic offers high-quality global maps, which are stored offline to allow powerful navigation functionality even when out of cellular coverage. "The maps look really smart on the MiX Rovi seven-inch colour touch screen," adds Lewis. "Of equal importance to us has been Sygic's world-class support of our development activities".

"Our partnership with a global player like MiX Telematics confirms our growing position within the fleet management market," says Michal Stencl, CEO of Sygic. "We share MiX Telematics's goal to deliver technology that boosts fleet efficiency and safety. Working together simply means a superior solution for the end customer," he concludes.
