Advantix and Azuga Form Strategic Partnership

Azuga selects Advantix SmartSIM as its multi-carrier connectivity solution for GPS fleet tracking and dual-facing dashcam equipment.

Advantix, the MCx provider™, and Azuga, a Bridgestone company and global leader in fleet telematics, have formed a strategic partnership to roll out SmartSIM-enabled GPS fleet tracking and dashcam solutions that connect to leading wireless carriers in the U.S., and 600+ providers worldwide.

By shipping the gear “hot” with Advantix SmartSIMs, Azuga eliminates the time-consuming need for fleet operators – or their IT equipment providers – to manually configure Advantix Access Point Names (APNs) in each device or contract with a mobile device management (MDM) provider to do it on their behalf.

“We’re simplifying the configuration and deployment process and providing peace of mind for customers because our devices will automatically failover,” said Jeremy Collins, CEO of Azuga. “If the cellular connection fails, our equipment will seamlessly hunt for and connect to the next-available network. This ensures persistent connectivity and operability of our GPS fleet tracking and dashcam solutions regardless of the driver’s route or location.”

“We’re excited about our partnership with Azuga and know it will drive incredible value for fleet operators,” stated Natasha Royer Coons, CEO of Advantix. “This integration combines Azuga’s market-leading end-to-end fleet management solution with the ultimate managed connectivity experience.”

Advantix is the industry’s first and only MCx™ – a managed connectivity experience provider that delivers multi-carrier connectivity with SaaS tools built for optimization, visibility, management and monitoring of network uptime and carrier switching.

Advantix Names Natasha Royer Coons CEO

Advantix, the MCx provider™, has elevated Natasha Royer Coons to chief executive officer.

Royer Coons is a proven entrepreneur and accomplished executive with more than 20 years of experience in the telecommunications industry. She cut her teeth at Sprint as a sales engineering manager before founding TeraNova, a managed mobility and expense management provider. When TeraNova merged with Advantix in 2018, she became a partner and chief revenue officer at Advantix, leading channel development, sales, marketing and several strategic initiatives.

Royer Coons ushered Advantix into a new era of innovation by overseeing the launch of SmartSIM and working with senior leadership to transform Advantix into a managed connectivity experience (MCx) provider that blends multi-carrier connectivity with proprietary SaaS tools to help partners and customers optimize, manage and report on the entire telecom stack.

“There is no better person to lead Advantix than Natasha,” said Nathan Brown, co-founder and president of Advantix. “Natasha’s vision and passion have had an enormous impact over the past few years. She is a force of nature – a trailblazer and an incredible leader with a clear business vision and the ability to bring people together. Natasha inspires all of us at Advantix and with her at the helm we know that our brightest and most innovative days are ahead of us.”

“I am deeply honored to step into the CEO role and lead such a talented team through our next phase of growth,” said Royer Coons. “I’d like to thank Brad Frazier and Nathan Brown for being my business partners and embracing change as the only constant in our business. I’d like to thank our employees for their hard work and dedication, and our channel partners for their collaboration and commitment to delivering innovative technology solutions to customers. With our MCx launch, it’s an exciting time at Advantix and I’m extremely optimistic about the future of our great company.”

As a technology expense management (TEM) provider for over 22 years, Advantix accumulated a vast library of market knowledge and best practices across carrier billing, contracts, tools and support. This cache of industry knowledge is the foundation for the company’s MCx strategy, which focuses on the customer experience with purpose-built tools for managing carriers, avoiding bill shock, visualizing data, and enhancing monitoring, management and reporting capabilities.

“We created an entire business managing carriers because bills and contracts were messy and convoluted, so we intentionally built out a platform, systems and teams leveraging this know how to reduce the complexity, increase visibility and provide a uniquely positive experience for customers,” Royer Coons said. “We named it The MCx for the ultimate simplification of the connected experience and there’s nothing like it in the marketplace. We believe we have created a new ‘class’ of solution and set a higher bar for CX.”

Independent Examination Validates Advantix as a Trusted and Secure Partner for Customers and Their Data

Advantix, a global provider of wireless connectivity, managed mobility and telecom expense management (TEM) solutions, today announced it has successfully completed the Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type 1 audit. The examination was conducted by Schellman, an independent CPA firm with expertise in security testing and compliance certifications.

With cybercrime on the rise, businesses are increasingly examining SOC 2 reports as part of their vendor selection, procurement and risk management processes to ensure that the services and tech stacks they adopt will meet their standards for data security and privacy requirements.

“We have always been laser-focused on maintaining the highest levels of information security compliance.” explains Brian Nuckels, Chief Information Officer at Advantix. “Having a third-party auditor confirm the strength of our security posture validates our commitment to high standards, and demonstrates how seriously we take the handling, management and protection of customer data and intellectual property.”

Advantix and Hippo Partner on Connectivity for Virtual Care

Hippo will use Advantix SmartSIM to enable continuous connectivity for remote clinical collaboration using assisted reality headsets

Hippo Technologies, Inc., a global virtual care company delivering solutions for healthcare and medical education, announced today a partnership with Advantix, a managed connectivity provider, to enable global roaming and seamless connectivity on the Hippo Virtual Care™ (HVC) platform, allowing clinicians to collaborate remotely with frontline medical staff in the field.

Unlike traditional telehealth, which is only suitable for simple primary care consultations, the Hippo Virtual Care solution combines voice-activated, wearable headsets at the point of care with a clinical-grade platform to deliver a “through the eyes of the clinician” viewpoint, allowing First Responders to a trauma scene or remote healthcare workers at a rural clinic or patient home to livestream what they are seeing and doing to specialist colleagues who may be back in the hospital, for real-time consults on complex cases. This not only increases access to specialty care in rural areas, but also results in faster diagnosis and treatment, improving patient outcomes and dramatically reducing the overall cost of care.

“By simultaneously connecting physician specialists in the hospital and clinicians in the field with an immersive experience, Hippo Virtual Care enables advanced remote collaboration to deliver the right diagnosis and treatment the first time, every time,” says Dr. Patrick Quinlan, CEO and Co-founder of Hippo Technologies, Inc. “With Advantix connectivity, we can ensure continuous uptime in rural and remote locations that don’t have access to WiFi. This can often be critical when dealing with trauma patients in the field.”

Hippo will be leveraging the Advantix SmartSIM, which provides universal WAN connectivity with auto-failover by seamlessly connecting to leading carriers in the U.S., and more than 600 providers globally. With SmartSIM, if your connection fails, the device will hunt for and connect to the next-available carrier, ensuring seamless connectivity and uptime.

“Hippo is a fast-growing virtual care company with forward-thinking leadership and solutions that make a difference for clinicians and their patients worldwide,” says Natasha Royer Coons, principal and CRO of Advantix. “We are thrilled to start this partnership and play a role in helping first responders and remote healthcare workers more efficiently and cost-effectively serve patients.”

Hippo has Virtual Care deployments across diverse clinical settings including the U.S., U.K., China, Guatemala, Nigeria, Uganda and South Africa. The addition of a global roaming solution will enable Hippo to address a multitude of remote specialty care needs enabling more efficient and better quality care delivery, particularly in underserved and rural communities.

About Hippo Technologies, Inc.

In addition to supporting the delivery of specialist care in the field, Hippo can integrate seamlessly with hospital systems and connected devices for a multitude of use cases in the hospital ER, OR, ICU, inpatient wards, outpatient clinics, long-term care facilities, and in the home.

Advantix Adds ServiceNow Integration Support

Strategic Partners and Customers Can Create a Two-Way Integration Between AdvantixBLITZ™ and ServiceNow

Advantix, a global provider of technology expense management (TEM) and wireless connectivity solutions, has added a ServiceNow ticketing system to its AdvantixBLITZ™ platform. The update allows customers and strategic partners to create a two-way integration between Advantix and ServiceNow so they can submit orders and requests through ServiceNow in real time with status updates flowing in both directions.

Many enterprises utilize ServiceNow’s IT service management (ITSM) platform to manage digital workflows seamlessly across their organization. Advantix has made it easier for either partners or end customers to add ServiceNow with built-in API integrations to the AdvantixBLITZ™ platform. This will substantially reduce the investment in time and resources required to utilize the ticketing system as the front end, with the orders and requests sent and received in real time to all major wireless carriers on the back end.

“With a little development, partners and end users will have the ability to execute numerous transaction types in either platform and the systems will remain synchronized,” says Brian Nuckels, CIO at Advantix. “Orders and requests will flow in both directions, supporting their unique service models.”

A customer can submit a request for an iPhone and a new line of service through ServiceNow. Once the procurement has been approved by the customer’s purchasing manager, the order is sent to Advantix via API and fulfilled. Advantix obtains the number, activates the phone and sends the information back to ServiceNow so the data can be captured by the customer’s IT department.

Everything is enabled through Advantix’s automated BLITZ API, which communicates with carrier systems to give partners and customers multi-carrier access to device inventory, equipment, plan catalogs, billing data, payment processing, orders and more in real time.

 

“We can repeat this two-way integration with any partner or customer that has invested in ServiceNow to integrate the power of their preferred ticketing system with AdvantixBLITZ for a real-time and comprehensive workflow” says Nathan Brown, co-founder and COO of Advantix.

About Advantix
Advantix, a global leader in telecom lifecycle management solutions, leverages its expense management software, carrier APIs, full-service audit team, 24×7 helpdesk, and end-to-end professional services expertise to integrate, connect and manage any device and network for midsize and enterprise business customers.

Advantix Wins 2021 Visionary Spotlight Award

ChannelVision Magazine Recognizes Advantix for Excellence in Enterprise Mobility

ChannelVision Magazine has honored Advantix with a 2021 Visionary Spotlight Award for excellence in enterprise mobility. This is the second consecutive year that Advantix has received the award.

Advantix won the award for enabling a multinational courier’s ground operators. The courier’s drivers were using handheld scanners with carrier-specific SIM cards. Because leading carriers’ coverage can vary depending on region and locale, drivers in the U.S., Canada and Mexico were operating with weak cellular coverage on some routes, or no coverage, which impacted their performance and productivity.

Advantix and a channel partner teamed to solve the problem by equipping drivers with SmartSIM-enabled handheld devices that enhanced cellular coverage with carrier switching capabilities. To make procurement and setup easy for the partner and customer, Advantix provided a custom fulfillment portal for the instantaneous activation and management of SIMs, allowing SmartSIM-enabled handhelds to be shipped “hot.”

The partner could integrate SIMs into their forward logistics and ship everything tested, kitted, configured and activated out the box for the customer and its drivers. Once equipped with the new solution, drivers were empowered with the best available coverage from leading carriers and inherent disaster recovery regardless of route or delivery location.

“We are thrilled to once again be recognized by ChannelVision Magazine for innovation in enterprise mobility solutions,” said Natasha Royer Coons, chief revenue officer at Advantix. “This award further validates our vision to empower partners and their enterprise clients with superior and future-proofed mobility solutions that are easy to use, easy to manage, and easy on the wallet.”

The courier selected Advantix SmartSIM for several reasons:

• Improved coverage: SmartSIM pairs any WAN-capable hardware that accepts a SIM card with the best available cellular network connectivity. There is no need to choose a carrier or worry about wireless signal strength because the SIM intelligently bonds to the best coverage from leading U.S. carriers and more than 600 providers globally.
• Single Rate Plan: Pooled plans with a single monthly data plan for U.S., Mexico and Canada.
• Lower Connectivity Costs: Competitive, pre-negotiated carrier pricing reduces total spend.
• Superior Security: SmartSIM provides deep packet inspection at the network layer to apply virus, malware, and content filtering.
• Seamless Ordering and Billing: There is no need to shop for price, mess with account setup, or manage multiple contracts and invoices.
• Robust Reporting: Advantix’s SaaS management platform provides business intelligence including twice monthly usage alerts and robust optimization dashboards and tools

Ultimately, by deploying SmartSIM, the courier enhanced driver safety with pervasive coverage, increased productivity by eliminating dead zones, simplified billing across US, Canada and Mexico and improved the driver’s efficiency, which enabled on-time and accurate customer deliveries.
