Start-up LM Solutions has licensed Versatile’s Delivery Director mobile commerce solutions as well as enterprise server software. Versatile will be responsible for implementing a wireless WAN infrastructure thus enabling LM Solutions to track deliveries wirelessly over the GSM network. The grocery delivery company hopes that Versatile’s wireless solution will streamline their operations, setting them apart from their competition.

Versatile, a Canadian-based company, expects to launch the first phase later this year and will continue to work with LM Solutions over the next three years expanding its network and services.

"Versatile’s delivery solution with its ability to track, log, and ensure perfect deliveries to our customers, will help us set the standard for service convenience and quality," he added.
