Founded in 1994, PeopleNet was the first major technology provider to offer Internet-based and integrated onboard computing and mobile communications to the transportation industry. PeopleNet’s solutions helped the trucking industry save money and improve efficiency, safety, compliance, and customer service. Over the years, NEP and PeopleNet worked together to build the company from an early-stage start-up to a high growth business.

NEP sold PeopleNet to Trimble Navigation in August 2011.
