IRVINE, CA--(Marketwired - May 24, 2016) - CalAmp (
"With the introduction of the SkySmart app, consumers can optimize the value of their car investment and increase driver safety, minimizing risks of bodily injury and property damage. SkySmart enables consumers to turn any car into a smart connected car, all from an easy-to-use smartphone application," said Mike Zachan, Senior Vice President and General Manager of CalAmp's Wireless Networks.
SkySmart coupled with CalAmp's CVF-200™ product is commercially available through the Company's LenderOutlook™ collateral assurance solution. When the BHPH dealer installs the device in an inconspicuous location in the car, the SkySmart solution provides the consumer with the following features:
- Stolen vehicle notifications and escalation services in the event of suspected theft. With one tap, the consumer can request available help when needed
- Vehicle location monitoring provides always-available security for loved ones
- "Find nearby services" provides a quick way to locate fuel, amenities and the nearest roadside assistance area
- Real-time alerting if the vehicle is being towed or the vehicle battery is low
With compelling services for consumers, the SkySmart app is a simple add-on offering for BHPH dealers to sell though their finance and insurance departments. The program includes onboarding automation, point-of-sale materials and training. Consumers simply download the SkySmart app from the Apple Store or the Google Play Store to activate these connected car services.
SkySmart works exclusively with CalAmp telematics devices, and is paired with the CVF-200, an easy-to-install, tamper-resistant vehicle tracking device that comes in a small form factor making it easier to install in cars, trucks and SUVs of all types.
