TomTom (News - Alert) Business Solutions has unveiled its new TomTom Software Alliance Program, which is primary a software integration, marketing and sales program.

The TomTom Software Alliance Program appeals to the logistics industry and seeks to enhance commercial fleets by incorporating core TomTom fleet management technology with their software.

TomTom enjoys a good business relationship with industry software providers ranging from office automation, CRM, ERP and Field Service Automation sectors, as well as dedicated industry software for towing, service and transportation fleets.

We believe our new Software Alliance program will lead to greater levels of innovation and value-add to a broader range of commercial fleets.”
