Direct Communication Solutions, Inc. announced its successful collaboration between Epson America Inc., a multinational company that specializes in the manufacture of various electronic products, including printers, projectors, scanners, and other imaging equipment, and the Company's MiFleet solution in the fight against cargo theft. The cargo theft problem in the United States, resulting in the loss of at least $224 million in goods annually, has posed significant challenges for companies like Epson. Due to their high value and demand, electronics have been a prime target for thieves, and Epson has experienced its fair share over the last few years.

Epson partnered with DCS to combat these challenges and utilized their fleet management cloud-based software solution, MiFleet, to protect their valuable shipments. MiFleet provided: Real-time monitoring and analysis of Epson's business processes. Offering features such as location tracking.

Fuel consumption monitoring. Engine diagnostics. Ideal time management.

During the move of Epson's warehouse from Carson, California, to Huntington Beach, MiFleet ensured the safety and security of over 400 tractor-trailer loads. By utilizing ruggedized tracking devices with extended battery life mounted inside the trailers and implementing geofencing solutions, Epson received immediate notifications if any trucks deviated from their expected routes or idled unexpectedly. The partnership yielded positive results, as Epson did not experience any losses or incidents throughout the month-long move.

Additionally, Epson realized unexpected benefits from the MiFleet solution, streamlining their operations by accurately predicting arrival times and optimizing loading and unloading processes. Epson's warehouse managers were able to direct drivers to specific docks, significantly reducing turnaround time to 15 minutes or less. Impressed by the success of the warehouse move, Epson expanded its collaboration with MiFleet to protect their valuable shipments.
