ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- When Domino's
Pizza (NYSE: DPZ), the recognized world leader in pizza
delivery, launched its fan-favorite Domino's
Tracker® nearly seven years ago, smartwatch
technology was likely never a part of the plan. It is now.
The pizza tracker, which allows customers to trace their order
from the time it is taken, baked and out for delivery, will now be
available on a new innovative platform: Pebble. This marks the
first time that Domino's Tracker has been available on any
smartwatch device.
Pebble Technology Corp. of Palo Alto,
California, debuted its first smartwatch, Pebble, on
Kickstarter in 2012, which remains one of the most successful
crowd-funding campaigns to date. The company introduced a premium
model, Pebble Steel, in January of this year.
"Partnering with Pebble makes perfect sense for our brand, as we
continue to innovate and reinvent the ways Domino's and technology
can interact," said Kevin Vasconi,
Domino's Pizza chief information officer. "Pebble's story of
beginning as a self-starter with a great idea completely aligns
with the values of the Domino's brand – and we are proud to have
such a shared entrepreneurial passion for the pursuit of
innovation."
Offering such features as notifications and apps, Pebble hosts
an app store with over 4,000 applications – including one for
Domino's. By loading the app on your watch, and synching with the
Domino's mobile app for either iPhone® or
Android™, Domino's Tracker updates and
notifications will show up directly on your watch in real time.
"We're thrilled to be the first smartwatch to partner with
Domino's and help bring their beloved tracker experience to the
wrist," said Shobeir Shobeiri of Pebble's business development
team. "We designed Pebble to mesh seamlessly into your life, and
the Domino's Tracker app is a natural addition to our
growing appstore."
Domino's Tracker on Pebble is available for use beginning
today, along with the Domino's mobile app for Android and iPhone.

"We think 'Pebblers' around the world will find it both simple
and useful," said Shobeiri.
