Metova Solves Industry Pain Points, Simplifying Processes Through Connected Technology from Amazon Web Services

FRANKLIN, Tenn. and FAYETTEVILLE, Ark., — Metova, a world-leading provider of mobile, web, connected and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, fueled by emerging technologies including machine learning, mixed reality, and Blockchain, today announced a High Value Asset Tracking solution for Herc-U-Lift, leveraging multiple technologies including Amazon Web Services (AWS). The new asset tracking system is designed to save employee time finding physical assets at Herc-U-Lift campuses and customer locations, and also automate data collection and data entry – providing tremendous operational cost savings and business insights.     

Metova’s Research & Strategy division initiated the project with multiple on-site visits to fully define and understand Herc-U-Lift’s specific needs, operational environment and existing data and infrastructure. Metova then designed a viable, complete IoT solution using a combination of customized technologies, IoT telemetry, and tracking devices and protocols including variations of long-range high-speed mobile wireless, low power wireless transmission beacons, GPS, and more – all synced through AWS. To ensure security, Metova architected the solution to use site-to-cloud VPN and defined data governance, separating equipment data from operational and financial data.

“As a leading, multi-state materials handling company, we are constantly looking for ROI using technology to optimize our business and provide better customer service,” said Tom Showalter, President at Herc-U-Lift. “Metova’s solution is a real time saver, enabling us to optimize equipment maintenance schedules, find a specific rental vehicle on demand, or look up equipment history all from a mobile device – and all while operating in temperatures as low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit and withstanding hard shock and water in abusive environments.”

“Our award-winning experience in leveraging existing and emerging technologies combined with our Advanced Technology Partner status in the AWS Partner Network allowed us to create a complete solution that is transforming the way Herc-U-Lift locates, manages and maintains their fleet of heavy equipment,” said Josh Smith, CEO of Metova.
