hardware&security KEEP TRACK OF MULTIPLE BENEFITS TO YOUR BUSINESS London drainage company, MG DRAINAGE LTD, based in Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire has recently installed TRACKit247 vehicle trackers into their fleet of vans. Mick Grant of MG Drainage stated “By investing in vehicle tracking I know where my staff and equipment are at any given time, allowing us to deploy vehicles effectively to call outs and emergencies as they arise. “It also enables us to keep a watch on lone workers for Health & Safety reasons and we have the added benefit of security knowing that if a vehicle is stolen it can be traced. “We have saved more than the actual cost of the unit by not having to turn work away as we know where our engineers are at any given time and by looking in the history we can tell what jobs are completed and times on site for clients. “We have also found the after sales back-up to be very good. We also like the fact that there is also no contract period that you have to sign up to. “The trackers are easy to fit, work very well and the navigation on the website to obtain the information is easy to follow. Since having them it has been a big benefit… We wouldn’t be without them now!” Vehicle tracking is now an essential management tool, enabling businesses to control costs and gain competitive advantage in today’s tough economic climate. Jo-Ann Cooper of TRACKit247 commented, “There are many reasons companies use our tracking solution for their vehicles, plant and machinery. The most obvious being if an asset is stolen, it can be recovered with minimal disruption to the business. But by investing in vehicle tracking, businesses can also reduce fuel expenditure and increase staff productivity.” TRACKit247 offer a low cost tracking solution with low monthly subscription, no activation costs and no contract.
