ABBOTSFORD, British Columbia — Gatekeeper Systems Inc. has received a new contract from New Jersey’s Sheppard Bus Co. to supply mobile video solutions on the company's school buses.

Since 1919, the Sheppard Bus family has been providing pupil transportation services. Today, Sheppard Bus operates over 300 vehicles in five New Jersey counties and continues charter operations in 48 states.

"We are excited to see Gatekeeper expanding sales in geographic regions where there has previously been limited exposure,” said Doug Dyment, president and CEO of Gatekeeper. "The northeast of the United States is an important region for us, and we couldn't be more pleased that Sheppard Bus has chosen Gatekeeper to expand their school bus video systems. Our sales expansion and customer service plan includes a much more aggressive approach by way of saturating regions with direct contact and new partnerships.”

Officials said that over the past several months, Gatekeeper has been successfully landing many contracts across the U.S. and Canada. New product launches in the area of license plate reading from multiple platforms, including end-to-end ticket processing software, are gathering significant interest from many new customers in various states, according to the company.
