PreCise(TM) MRM provides products that track everything from the activity and status of your equipment's accessories to the speed and location of your vehicles. PreCise MRM products provide a unique combination of ruggedized, made in the USA, GPS hardware with leading-edge, software and services.

"The addition of the PreCise(TM) MRM associates and products will enhance and expand FORCE America's commitment to be the leader in developing and applying new technologies for the mobile markets that we serve," says Steve Loeffler, President and CEO of FORCE America Inc.. "The technical capabilities that have been channeled in the MRM market will be integrated with the mobile equipment, power and control systems markets that the FORCE America Divisions are very knowledgeable of."
"FORCE America has been an incredible partner for PreCise(TM) MRM for several years now," says Jeff Warner, Product Manager for PreCise MRM. "This move intensifies FORCE's focus on providing game changing technologies to their large customer base and expands the sales, marketing and R&D capabilities of PreCise in a way that we could not do organically. The entire PreCise MRM team and I are thrilled to be joining a company with the history and customer-driven focus of FORCE America."
Preco Electronics will continue to market and sell their PreView(TM) Object Detection products from their location in Boise, Idaho.
