Leadership insights
“Our financial performance in fiscal year 2024 was our strongest ever and marks our third consecutive year of profitability,” Doug Dyment, Gatekeeper Systems’ president and chief executive officer, said in a statement.
“During the year we installed approximately 9,000 Mobile Data Collectors (MDCs) for our customers on their buses, increasing the installed base to approximately 57,000. These MDCs record and store video from roughly 200,000 video devices on school and transit buses daily, which elevates the need for automated video analytics,” Dyment added. “Therefore, this year we established a data center for our AI-based video analytics hosted services offerings and school districts are now beginning to embrace our solutions for full-fleet, AI-assisted video analytics and evidence management.”
“We also developed and launched new AI-based video cameras, such as our Pedestrian Protector, which helps the bus driver with blind spot detection when children are around the bus, or our Cell Phone Detection Camera that uses video algorithms to automatically detect if a school bus driver is texting while driving. School districts are increasingly turning towards technology to improve school bus safety for school children, and we are innovating accordingly. Our transit segment witnessed very strong revenue growth and we added new smaller transit customers throughout the year. We continue to invest in our people and we are extremely proud of the exceptional customer service our employees delivered to our valued customers in 2024,” he concluded.
