WARREN, R.I. — AVTECH Software announced that it has been named the 2018 Exporter of the Year by the Rhode Island Small Business Administration.

The designation of “Exporter of the Year” comes on the strength of AVTECH’s worldwide reach, with users now in 186 of 196 countries. AVTECH’s exporting excellence is a result of years of building strong relationships with both end users and valued resellers around the world, which has allowed its exporting business to grow from approximately 23 percent of their revenue prior to 2016 to over 30 percent in 2017. Forecasts currently project exporting revenue will be over 40 percent by 2020.

Now in its 30th year in business, AVTECH manufactures Room Alert, the world’s most popular environment monitor. Room Alert is made in the USA and monitors environment conditions such as temperature, humidity, flood, power, smoke and more. Room Alert is currently used by organizations ranging from thousands of small businesses through Amazon, Boeing, Sprint, Microsoft, over 80 percent of the Fortune 1000, the United Nations, Pentagon, all branches of the US government, all 50 states, and many local governments.

In addition to Room Alert environment monitors and sensors, AVTECH also provides Device ManageR software and the online RoomAlert.com Account portal for Room Alert monitoring, alerting, management, and reporting. Both software packages are completely designed, developed, supported, and updated at AVTECH’s corporate headquarters at Cutler Mill in Warren.
