The Geotab DEV Channel is a video site that assists business software application developers in their use of the Geotab Software Development Kit (SDK). The DEV Channel complements the existing resources available to developers who want to leverage a world leading telematics tool. "The Geotab DEV Channel is meant to encourage developers to focus not only on a leading dataset that collects over 600 million pieces of telematics data daily on behalf of 12,000 business customers, it helps connect developers to real world business problems to encourage building relevant applications or add-ons that the global business community is looking for," says Colin Sutherland, VP Global Sales for Geotab. "Developers are a key focus for Geotab in the ongoing pursuit of advancement and innovation across industries that utilize our telematics solution," Colin Sutherland continues. As an example of third party developers working with the Geotab, Navistar recently integrated Geotab data into the Navistar OnCommand Connection program and commended Geotab for having a very extensible API in terms of being able to attach new data points (PGN's) to the feed as needs change. They viewed Geotab's extensibility of data as future proof and for its ease-of-use and will be showcased at the Geotab BUILD Marketplace Conference to happen at CTIA (News - Alert) Wireless (Sept. 9-11) together with several other third party applications that have been created using the Geotab SDK.
