Geoforce has expanded its asset intelligence capabilities with the acquisition of AssetLink Global, a provider of satellite-enabled remote monitoring systems focused on defense and other field-centric industries.
Geoforce said Thursday that the transaction strengthens its mission to provide real-time asset intelligence even in the most remote and hazardous regions.
David Goldstein will continue to lead AssetLink Global as CEO following the acquisition. “Geoforce and AssetLink Global have worked together for years, and this combination is a natural fit,” the executive stated.
“Joining forces allows us to deliver greater customer value by combining AssetLink’s renowned hardware and sensor capabilities with Geoforce’s best-in-class asset-centric software platform,” he added.
