What our tagline "From Grizzly to Panda, We Track it All" means

Picture this: Our technology knows no limit. We scale from the smallest to the largest with equal precision, like tracking the mightiest grizzlies and the most delicate pandas! We're about redefining possibilities, ensuring that wherever you are, whatever you need — we're there to track it all.

How did I get my name — J.J. Baloo

Well, my face resembles one of our dear colleagues, J.J. 😉  Of course, the name J.J. is gender-neutral as well. As for Baloo, it comes from the Jungle Book, a Hindi word for 'bear.'

So, here I am, J.J. Baloo, embodying our diversity, inclusivity, and minority-owned business status. I represent the unbeatable spirit of the 'BearTracks bears' — a culture of innovation and enthusiasm for top-of-the-line, premium products and services.

Welcome to our den!

BEHIND THE SCENES

BEHIND THE SCENE

When a vision met our solution, our identity was born…

Tom Wirth, who was at the forefront of Cisco's bustling mail and parcel sector, identified the urgent need for innovation beyond traditional tracking methods. With rising volumes and the pressure for timely delivery, he envisioned a breakthrough to ensure no package was lost and every delivery was precise.

Tom turned to Tony and Randy, our founders, to pioneer a robust enterprise-level package tracking software.

Soon enough, Cisco became our first customer and validated our solution. Tom's expertise and unwavering commitment to operational excellence made him an integral part of our narrative. His belief and advocacy of our product amplified its reach. The result? Our product set a new standard for package tracking and analytics across the industry.

Today, as we rebrand ourselves, we thank Tom for his profound influence on our product and the industry at large.
