Innovative Solution

We build, monitor and make such an IoT ecosystem available and easy to use for lay, non-technical clients.

We prevent them from employing the resources and knowledge in their businesses to manage such an ecosystem by themselves!

Traction & Accomplishments

PROPEL GPS IS PROUD TO USE OUR TECHNOLOGY TO HELP NONPROFIT RACING FOR HEROES FIGHT THE EPIDEMIC OF VETERAN SUICIDES.

The Propel GPS system is transforming NASCAR driver Colin Garrett’s racecar hauler into a traveling meet-up spot for Veterans, Active Duty, and military families. Colin will hold Meet & Greets throughout the US to raise awareness of Racing For Heroes and fans will be able to track the hauler through our innovative technology.

The hauler will provide a place where Veterans can learn more about RFH’s free mental & physical health services and build community with others who understand how they feel. Racing For Heroes helps them get access to innovative treatments for PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), beat addiction to opioids that were prescribed for pain, and land new jobs, and Propel GPS is honored to help this mission.
