Prostar successfully integrates mobile underground utility mapping software with Rycom Instruments
(UI) – ProStar Holdings Inc. announced the successful integration of its flagship product, PointMan, into Rycom Instruments cable and pipe locating devices. As a result of this integration, Rycom Instrument’s Pathfinder devices can now capture, record, and share the precise location of buried utilities and pipelines anywhere in the world with PointMan.
ProStar’s goal is to establish strong strategic business partnerships with all major equipment manufacturers of cable and pipe locate devices, ground penetrating radar, and GPS/GNSS receivers throughout the world. These partnerships potentially represent global sales distribution channels in a variety of industry sectors. Further, it allows clients to leverage PointMan into legacy equipment without requiring additional hardware investment.
The completion of the integration with Rycom Instruments marks yet another major milestone for ProStar, as it means PointMan is now integrated into almost every major manufacturer of electromagnetic cable and pipe locate device, ground penetrating radar, and GPS/GNSS receivers.
“By creating business partnerships with all of the major hardware manufacturers in the utility detection space including electromagnetic utility locate devices, ground penetrating radar, as well as GPS/GNSS receivers, ProStar materially increases the probability of having market share dominance,” stated Page Tucker, CEO and founder of ProStar.
