Panasonic reports the creation of a new European solutions company that will bring together its various business products, offering a single point of contact and accountability.
Panasonic System Solutions Europe (PSSEU), a division of Panasonic Marketing Europe, founded on April 1, 2016, develops market specific solutions that include Panasonic devices, software, connectivity and third party products. PSSEU will initially focus on three vertical markets: Utilities, Transportation and Logistics. The new company will be led by Tony O’Brien, pictured who has over 20 years’ experience, having previously worked with organisations such as Siemens Building Technologies.
Tony O’Brien said: “For nearly 100 years, Panasonic has been widely recognised for its technology excellence in consumer electronics. This puts Panasonic in a unique position because the majority of our business customers sell to consumers too. This means we have a shared understanding of the type of challenges that our business customers face in the consumer market. As a result, we have developed unique value packages, which are tailored to specific customer needs. We are using a fusion of sector expertise and technological innovation delivering customised solutions that improve efficiency, enhance customer experience and reduce business risk.”
An example of these value packages is a trespass warning system developed for UK railways. The new automated system will help to prevent trespass incidents at known hot spots, which cause customer delays and cost the railway operators.
Operating across Europe, PSSEU is based in Wiesbaden, Germany. It also has a number of subsidiaries, including Cameramanager, a European cloud security provider; and Panasonic Business Software Europe, which offers software for the control and management of logistics and supply chain.
