TomTom is launching TomTom BRIDGE, offering a new flexible and innovative platform to integrate the power of TomTom's state-of-the-art technology into your business, helping you to move smarter, faster and more accurately.

The TomTom BRIDGE helps businesses that manage a fleet of vehicles, take control and get there faster with the latest TomTom Maps and award-winning TomTom Traffic technology, using real-time traffic data that allows drivers to navigate around traffic to achieve their efficiency goals.

For the first time in South Africa, businesses can develop applications*, powered by TomTom navigation technology, to help businesses increase efficiencies, reduce costs and gain a greater level of insight through the use of a single device.

Businesses can now enjoy the diverse functionalities of a product built for life and challenges on the road. The rugged, industrial design, 7-inch screen, unique interface and powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, tailor-made for drivers, includes lifetime TomTom Maps and TomTom Traffic updates.

TomTom BRIDGE puts your fleet ahead of the pack, equipped with best-in class navigation, a fully customisable interface, wireless connectivity on the road, real-time customer alert capabilities, accurate routing for drivers and a world-class rugged design.

It offers innovative features such as Near-Field Communication (NFC), camera (5MP), WiFi** and a 3G modem.

"The TomTom BRIDGE platform, for developers, enables businesses to easily integrate their own business applications or easily create their own branded services that seamlessly connect to TomTom technology, creating a more comprehensive solution, wherever your business takes you," says Etienne Louw, Managing Director at TomTom South Africa.

"The TomTom BRIDGE is designed for businesses on the move, keeping in mind the unique requirements and demands that day-to-day operations present, providing a solution through the use of one of the world's most reliable and robust fleet management platforms, saving lives, time and money."
