TPL Trakker, Pakistan’s leading IoT company, has partnered with NITB (National Information Technology Board) and NCOC (National Command and Operation Center) to support their national efforts in Pakistan’s fight against COVID-19.

Through this collaboration, TPL Maps, the mapping arm of TPL Trakker, will play a critical role in helping the people of Pakistan during this pandemic by mapping, analyzing and reporting cases across major cities. Given the recent surge in coronavirus cases, the interactive map marking hotspots of the rampant spread of the disease, will help Provincial governments in imposing geo-based smart lockdowns, making them efficient and effective.

At the early onset of the COVID-19 outbreak in Pakistan, the team at TPL Trakker applied their expertise in location solutions and data analysis to create multiple tools that would bring automation and smart tracking to COVID-19 response mechanisms. Upon evaluation, NCOC and NITB chose TPL Trakker’s solutions and Location Based Services to solve critical challenges that could provide a comprehensive national response to the outbreak.

Speaking on this collaboration, Sarwar Ali Khan, CEO, TPL Trakker said, “With corporate social responsibility at the heart of our business operations, we take deep pride in supporting government organizations and a national cause through our technological capabilities. In such difficult times for the nation, it is important for us to unite and do our part to address these challenges. Our Location Based Services, COVID-19 mapping tools, Smart Lockdown automation, and technical support is playing a critical role in the successful emergence of the nation from this pandemic on a no cost no obligation basis.”

The partnership is in line with TPL’s mission of using disruptive technologies to maximize shareholder return and achieve sustainable growth for its group of digital companies. 

Shabahat Ali Shah, CEO, NITB said, “This collaboration is a key example of TPL Trakker’s strengths as a leader in the technology sector as well as its tremendous capabilities with regards to location based technology. At NITB, we are working towards the digital transformation of Pakistan, and the support from partners like TPL Trakker is key to our vision of creating a central data system with the government to intelligently tackle COVID-19 challenges.”
