And it is truly amazing how our partners are growing their technical expertise in telematics, IoT, and the areas their customers are working in. We do not just help optimize clients’ operations but also we build long-term, mutually beneficial relationships between us, our partners, and their clients,” says Aliaksandr Kuushynau.
