Honeywell acquires Movilizer

Cloud-based field service solution Movilizer has been acquired by Honeywell. Movilizer is used by remote workers performing service, maintenance, sales, distribution and warehousing activities away from the office.

Movilizer enables a distributed workforce to create, deploy and manage workflow solutions — whether at the point of sale, in the field, in a warehouse or in a distribution centre. Customers can collect, transmit and analyse data generated by their workers on their existing information technology (IT) systems, enabling them to harness the power of their workforce from anywhere to best serve the needs of their end customers.

“Acquiring Movilizer’s cloud software platform advances our vision of the connected worker, driving growth, value through data and new business models for our customers,” said Alex Ismail, president and CEO, Honeywell Automation and Control Solutions.

“Movilizer will drive greater productivity and flexibility for our customers and also helps us rapidly expand our software capabilities as a provider for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) to enable greater safety, security and productivity for buildings, industrials and workers.

“Businesses that operate with a distributed workforce want software solutions that can be rapidly developed, are massively scalable and that make their mobile teams more connected and more valuable to the enterprise,” said John Waldron, president, Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions.

Movilizer’s multitenant, cloud and mobile applications are currently used by more than 200 multinational companies in 30 countries, executing more than 1.5 million mobile business application transactions daily in the utility, manufacturing and engineering, transportation and logistics, and consumer packaged goods industries. The platform allows customers running SAP, for example, to more quickly build native mobile applications from scratch inside SAP or to rapidly deploy out-of-the-box mobile applications for service, maintenance, sales, distribution, warehouse or track-and-trace environments in just days.
