FMS Tech to expand its presence in the Middle East in 2016

The company addresses the UAE Vision 2021 road safety challenges to reduce road deaths

Fleet Management Systems and Technologies (FMS Tech) and its authorized and exclusive reseller in the UAE - Black Box Integrated Systems (BBIS), have announced their rebranding and service delivery expansion plans across Europe and GCC. FMS Tech’s visionary plan in 2016 is to expand its market outreach, targeting key sectors such as Education, Transportation, Government, adding to its strong Oil & Gas expertise in the GCC. One of the key goals for the company is to achieve higher road safety standards in line with UAE Vision 2021 while working towards an objective of reducing road deaths to 3 deaths per 100,000 population. This goal would place the UAE among the top 5 safest countries in the world, according to World Health Organization rankings. FMS Tech’s current focus is in the Oil & Gas sector, which covers 45% of its business in the region. Rebranding is set to allow both companies to expand its business presence by entering new industries and growing current vertical units, which are mainly in Transportation (18%) and Security sector (16%). 

“It is important to understand and identify the industry requirements in this market. We believe that rebranding and widening our outreach and the scope of our offerings is just one crucial step towards market leadership. Sectors such as Oil & Gas, Transportation, Education and Government are key in the Middle East as these industries face new challenges in terms of road safety and efficient performance”, says Bassam Alkassar, CEO, FMS Tech.

FMS Tech’s solutions provide extensive capabilities that can grow and expand with every kind of business need. These solutions will also help to increase productivity and safety while decreasing the cost of fuel, payroll, and even help in risk mitigation.  The company’s main goal is to improve road safety and driver behavior across diverse sectors in the region. It is not just a tracking system, but a well-rounded range of solutions that can be used to protect the driver.

“These goals cannot be achieved by any one group alone and there needs to be communication and collaboration with all stakeholders to ensure high safety standards on UAE roads today and in the future”, adds Bassam Alkassar.

Mr. Alkassar believes that the implementation of safety solutions depends to a large extent on government legislation and owner/operator understanding of the investments and return on such investments by reduction in operational cost that can be achieved through safety initiatives.

In addition to In Vehicle Monitoring Systems (IVMS) and Driver Merit Systems, FMS Tech also offers free consultancy services, wherein the company, thanks to its process management and knowledge of GCC region’s challenges in road safety, can offer customized approach. Other recent offerings include free product packages and free tailor-made trainings for companies that are looking to implement tracking solutions.
