Aeris, a preferred Internet of Things (IoT) technology partner for Enterprises, successfully tracked and recovered a stolen vehicle in less than 3 hours through Aeris Asset Assurance Platform. The industry’s first comprehensive asset protection and repossession IoT platform helped RevFin Dealer M/S Lokesh Automobiles retrieve their stolen vehicle in Bihar, India.
