RICHMOND, British Columbia, June 7, 2005 -- Bulldog Technologies Inc. (OTC BB: BLLD), a leading provider of wireless security solutions and sensor networks that monitor, track and secure assets in the supply chain, announced today that Barnes & Noble is the latest company to utilize Bulldog’s wireless cargo security solutions.
Barnes & Noble, Inc. (NYSE: BKS), a Fortune 500 company, is the world’s largest bookseller, operating 821 stores in 50 states. Harris Interactive® ranked Barnes & Noble the No. 1 brand for quality among retail brands in America in 2002, 2003 and 2004. Barnes & Noble pioneered the concept of the book superstore, combining a vast selection of books, music, DVD and magazines within a welcoming and comfortable ambiance. In addition, the company’s web site, Barnes & Noble.com, one of the Web’s largest e-commerce sites, attracts millions of visitors each month, serving customers worldwide. According to the latest EquiTrend® survey by Harris Interactive®, Barnes & Noble.com is the No. 1 brand among e-commerce companies. Barnes & Noble is also a leading book publisher.
Barnes & Noble required a solution that not only provided security but also one that would provide reliable tracking and monitoring. After extensive research Barnes & Noble narrowed the selection down to Bulldog Technologies’ MiniBOSSTM solution.
MiniBOSSTM is the ideal solution for security, asset recovery as well monitoring of valuable assets. Barnes & Noble has integrated the MiniBOSSTM into their security and logistics practices. The MiniBOSSTM is able to provide pinpoint accuracy for the whereabouts of trailers and other valuable assets. In conjunction with their geozoning application, the MiniBOSSTM provides exception reporting for the integrity of the doors opening and closing as well whether a trailer is where it is supposed to be.
“The MiniBOSSTM solution provides features, function and value that would be normally delivered by more than one product,” noted John Huggan, Director of Transportation for Barnes & Noble. “The MiniBOSSTM plays a large role in our security strategy as well as a leading role in our logistic and operational processes.”
“We are extremely excited about working with the likes of Barnes & Noble” said John Cockburn, President and CEO of Bulldog Technologies. “They are thought leaders in the security, logistics and business process as is reflected in their position as the world’s largest bookseller.
