  3. Who is Agilis and How We Got Here • 5 years working with publishers (8 years software development) • 25 years combined experience in Publishing • Re-Delivery > Transportation > TMC > Single Copy > Data Analytics • Robust Partner Roster:

  4. A Solution … With A Technology Answer By using GPS tracking, companies can address key demands of today’s marketplace: • Rising postal costs and the need for alternative delivery channels • Ongoing drive to improve operational efficiencies • Network performance • Benchmarking • Quality Control (Timely Deliveries, Reduce Complaints) • Increasing need for internal controls, audit requirements, and real time reporting for advertisers

  5. A Solution for Non Paid Products Publishers need new tools to reduce costs and data to support “proof of delivery” for TMC / Sunday Select products. Verify: • Contractors carry GPS-enabled devices • A Web-based management system allows for oversight and creation of defined contractor routes • GPS data records produce: • Coverage of route • Delivery data (time, date, speed, etc.) • Internal Controls QC / QA: • Photo / Time Stamp / Geo Stamp “Proof of Delivery” • Immediate verification of deliver or DND’s.

  6. Applications typically will work with a wide variety of hardware devices: Low cost GPS OBDII/JBUS connectors Android, iPhone, Blackberry or feature phones. Wi-Fi or real-time data enabled devices A Solution with Flexibility

  7. Agilis Verify – The Basics • Breadcrumb: A visual depiction of driving patterns and directions for a particular carrier. • Geo-Fences: Area depicts a specific geographical location based on publisher’s distribution network- Routes (i.e. Zip, Sub-Zip, etc.) • Ping Rate: Frequency of communication from device for location (30 seconds, 1 minute, etc.) • Waypoints: A sampling of addresses (lat/long) that represent delivery locations within a route/fence. • Coverage: Calculation based on the number of waypoints triggered versus available on the route.

  8. A Feature Rich Mapping & GPS Solution 96 % Coverage • Leverages waypoints to ensure route completion times and locations • Driving sequence, time, and mileage • Visual verification of route activity, not delivery
