Vehicle Tracking Systems
No contract, broadband or dial up connection
"It's real-time, and the difference that makes is exciting"
There are many ways to track vehicles and the Platinum Tracker works the way you need it. Tracking information can be downloaded and presented in the format most appropriate to your needs, maybe on the supplied maps or a detailed report of the vehicle usage, the current location of a vehicle or the vehicle nearest a given point. In some instances a mobile phone call is required in absolute real time perhaps to direct a vehicle, provide security information or advise an interested party.
The system can be set to locate individual or groups of vehicles at regular time intervals, from daily, hourly, minute-by-minute updates or on an ad-hoc basis. It carries on working even if you're not there!
As an example this allows you to keep constant track of your vehicles when needed. The availability of timely information is quoted as being the single most important factor needed by management when making business decisions or when wishing to improve customer service.
Mapping
"Size matters, but the devil is in the detail"
Maps are fully scalable from the level of a continent, country, region, right down to almost pinpoint accuracy (3 metres) at street or even building level if necessary! As well as locating vehicles either individually or collectively additional information can be provided alongside maps. 1.75 million Post Codes are provided for Great Britain and street addresses are provided for the whole of the UK and Europe. Pushpins can be added to show your and your customers locations, jobs, special landmarks and even buildings if required.
You will be able to check that a vehicle is exactly where it is supposed to be!
Playback
"What you see, is where they've been"
Playback provides the opportunity to view/review where vehicles have been. It is possible to know not just where, who and when but also exactly how a particular vehicle performed. This can be done over any period. Our software has been imitated by others but not beaten for ease of use.
This allows for positive confirmation of timekeeping and service levels, which aid the drivers as much as managers and customers. Playback is the tool for the avoidance of doubt and will provide you with assistance over and over again even in legal situations.
Platinum Tracker provides a flexible approach to information distribution and collection with historical data being recorded at any level to suit the operation.
Route Planning
"You don't have to work to make it work"
For some the most valuable part of the system is the integrated route-planning and navigation. Coming as standard it is possible within just a few seconds to check on the exact distance and time it should take to complete a particular route.
Written Information - Reports
"Don't destroy a forest to see the wood from the trees"
When making decisions, the quality of the information being utilised becomes of vital importance. You can trust the information you are working with when it comes from Platinum Tracking.
Every piece of information that has ever been captured by Platinum Tracking can be taken advantage of in reports. When placed alongside the existing management knowledge the information will provide a new view of the business. The ability to export the data into Microsoft Excel means you can design reports to meet your exact requirements.
So who benefits from the use of a Platinum Tracker?
Operational Managers/Teams
"Stress relief without alcohol or medication - really"
Platinum Tracker allows Operations Managers and others a new view of the day-to-day operation. This can lead to better job allocation, improved response times, and with route and schedule planning, less lost time arising from both undesirable practices and logistical problems. Tracking allows for planning in real time with lower costs. Its effectiveness in their hands is unprecedented. Of course, there's no point in transferring costs

"It is not just a spy in the cab"
The GPS records provide proof of site visits; time spent both on site and on route with no effort, increased security for the vehicle, along with its contents and the driver results. Also it will provide improved peace of mind for all. Live tracking also provides absolute real time assistance giving the drivers total back up when on the road when and if required. Lone employee security is improved. If they fail to check in a check can be made on their location with just a couple of mouse clicks.
