“MATS has been part of our growth as a company, we come every year, we always show our new product here, we get a lot of dealers that come through here, and we sign dealers up. It’s part of growing a business, you need to be here. It’s so big, the nicest truck show in the country. It’s worked really well for us.”

“After the show, because of the breadth of the attendance, we tend to have a fairly significant download of apps after the show. So that tells us that we are getting noticed, that tells us that our value proposition is coming across to those that we’re talking to, and that makes the show worthwhile for us…It really allows us to broaden our portfolio and be able to talk to a big audience here. That’s really exciting for us. It really shows how we’re growing the business.”
