Through the agreement, Tapestry Solutions will deploy its global distribution management system (GDMS) software in Kuwait and partner nations Bahrain, Iraq, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Oman and Jordan.

The ITV system will help track and manage civilian contractors who provide army equipment and supplies throughout Kuwait, the Trans-Arabian network and Iraq.

The Tapestry system will supplement the current radio frequency ITV infrastructure of the military in the region.

In addition, it will provide a common operating picture as supplies are transported to tactical operations centres, movement control teams and higher military echelons.
