Nabors Industries Ltd. and a Major U.S. Home Improvement Specialty
Retailer Sign Agreements Representing the Addition of Up to 3,200
@Road Subscribers on the @Road MRM On-Demand Software Delivery
Service @Road(R), Inc. (NASDAQ:ARDI), a global provider of Mobile
Resource Management (MRM) and intelligent field service automation
solutions, today announced that Nabors Industries Ltd., a major
worldwide land drilling and well servicing operations company has
selected @Road MRM solutions to help streamline and optimize its
land drilling operations and support services in North America. In
addition, @Road today also announced that a major home improvement
specialty retailer has also selected @Road MRM solutions to help
streamline retail distribution of hardware and construction
supplies to both residential and commercial customers. In
combination, these signed customer agreements represent an @Road
MRM solution deployment of up to 3,200 @Road iLM(R) (Internet
Location Manager) subscribers of the @Road MRM on-demand software
delivery service. "These customer wins demonstrate that @Road
continues to gain momentum as a leading provider of Mobile Resource
Management solutions offered in an on-demand software delivery
services environment," said Alan Park, @Road senior vice president
and general manager, corporate accounts. "They also reflect our
broad and diverse industry expertise in delivering MRM solutions
including Field Force Management, Field Service Management and
Field Asset Management solutions that can help customers in diverse
vertical markets drive down costs, improve productivity and
maximize their ROI." Nabors selected the @Road Transportation and
Distribution Suite Field Force Management solution and other @Road
solutions to help optimize the management of up to 2,100 mobile
workers and vehicles used for servicing a number of land drilling
operations in North America. Such drilling operations include, but
are not limited to, rig moving, heavy hauling, crane and rigging
services, well services, drilling instrumentation systems and other
land drilling operations and support services. The @Road
Transportation and Distribution Suite can extend the functionality
of the @Road GeoManager(SM) MRM solution through optimized mobile
resource allocation and by delivering on-demand visibility into
driver productivity and safety. The @Road Transportation and
Distribution Suite, through @Road GeoManager data integration
capabilities, can help streamline daily activities for drivers and
dispatchers by minimizing, and in some cases eliminating, manual
tasks and paperwork for more effective management of mobile
resources. According to Sri Valleru, chief information officer for
Nabors Industries Ltd., the @Road Field Force Management solution
can meet a number of Nabors' needs and requirements. In particular,
they were attracted to the @Road on-demand software delivery
services model, the ease of use of the @Road Internet-based user
interface, and the ability of @Road to send information through
Application Program Interfaces (APIs) directly into Nabors'
back-office business applications. Other reasons for Nabors'
selection of the @Road Transportation and Distribution Suite
include the solution's ability to streamline compliance-based
reporting, such as U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) logs,
and its ability to help improve driver and customer safety and
driver communication. Valleru also added that Nabors welcomes how
the @Road solution can electronically format a number of old
paper-based driver forms such as timesheets and how it can automate
fuel and mileage reports for potential savings on fuel usage and
road taxes. "@Road offered what we were looking for in an
end-to-end MRM solution to help us optimize and streamline the
management of our very large, unique and complex process of land
drilling operations, well servicing and support services that we
have here in North America," Valleru said. "We were also impressed
with the @Road technology, the company's financial strength and the
long-term vision the company has for further developments that can
help our industry." Nabors also selected the @Road J1708 and OBD-II
vehicle diagnostics solutions that can improve maintenance services
and vehicle performance, as well as the @Road iLM 3140-W, which
features EvDO high-speed data network connectivity integrated with
the @Road Mobile HotSpot WiFi access point and router for improved
workflow productivity and a secure data connection to Nabors'
back-office business applications. In addition to Nabors, a major
U.S. home improvement specialty retailer has selected the @Road
Pathway(SM) iLM Field Force Management solution to help streamline
and optimize retail distribution involving more than 1,100 drivers
and company- and contractor-owned vehicles who deliver hardware and
construction supplies to both residential and commercial customers.
