Smartrak delivers real-time reporting on the location of fleet vehicles, alongside insights such as geofences and other key points of interest to productively manage your resources. This in-depth visibility empowers you with the tools to improve task planning, and the insights for more cogent decision making.
Furthermore, these capabilities are available to you regardless of whether you rely on a cellular or satellite network. Managers of field teams and remote workers in urban and rural environments will both benefit from Smartrak’s class-leading solutions. Our commitment to extending the operational and safety benefits of our technologies into every deployment is delivering absolute confidence across a wide spectrum of requirements, irrespective of the location.
Vehicle tracking anywhere, anytime is a key requirement in gaining the improved insights you need. Are the right vehicles being used for various tasks? Could fuel bills be reduced with better journey planning or more effective vehicle utilisation? Are your drivers spending unsafe hours behind the wheel? These are all questions that vehicle tracking and Smartrak’s powerful analytical capabilities can provide answers to.
Our solutions reduce the administration time and costs associated with regulatory compliance, such as FBT reporting, and fuel tax credit calculations, by automating the collection and reporting of relevant data. These capabilities function as an integral offering within the Smartrak solution, producing a complete operational picture that includes vehicle servicing, WOF requirements and more.
At a time when the administrative burden on fleet managers is growing, a solution that speeds processes and frees up time is to be welcomed, particularly when a comprehensive offering such as this has the capability of seamlessly integrating with your existing business processes, extending functionality and reporting into multiple departments.
Smartrak’s solutions can also be customised to produce reports that reflect your organisation’s particular business drivers, to provide even more clarity.
The administration of your fleet and assets, keeping up to date with registration and compliance, and the insights to effectively manage fleet operations. All of these are encompassed in a comprehensive solution that ensures the readiness of your fleet’s vehicles and assets.
Smartrak’s solutions support the evolving operational requirements of fleet and asset management, helping organisations to track fleet performance and utilisation, reduce operating costs, and ensure safe operating practices.
With the insights gained by having a clear view of fleet composition and use, organisations can identify ways to use vehicle and plant assets more efficiently, using the information gathered to focus on the productive utilisation of the fleet. This understanding helps to identify optimum fleet size based on actual usage, allowing the organisation to right-size and right-type the fleet to match the required use profile and future identified requirements.
Pool vehicle administration is another facet of fleet optimisation that benefits from Smartrak’s integrated fleet management system. Smartrak coordinates booking schedules, ensures the right type of vehicles are used, and controls access to vehicles.
Our solutions are also extensively used to ensure that a fleet is maintained at its optimum level, with automated maintenance scheduling that helps to prevent unexpected withdrawals from service, when an issue is suddenly discovered. This intelligent system tracks due dates for servicing against actual kilometres travelled to ensure an always-up-to date record.
A key management solution that includes a secure key cabinet with functionality controlled via an online program will reduce the cost and simplify the management of key security and allocation.
With this system, driver authorisations and booking schedules for vehicles are centrally controlled, even when the cabinet is at a location that’s remote from operations, ensuring significantly improved oversight of vehicle use and ease of access.
Smartrak also offers a keyless vehicle management solution, which uses a smartphone or Bluetooth technology to grant access to a vehicle. With this system the vehicle keys are left locked inside the car, and access authorisations are granted via the driver’s smartphone. The Keyless Entry solution could be the preferred option in certain situations, where it has the potential to simplify pool vehicle management, and still support the permissions and restrictions of a key cabinet solution.
Smartrak’s vehicle tracking systems provide a wealth of information about driver behaviour, with speeding and harsh driving incidents recorded and available for driver education initiatives. Access to this information highlights any problems and supports standards setting, so that all of your organisation’s drivers understand that they have a personal responsibility to develop safer driving habits.
There are also solutions that will provide an alert if a vehicle is involved in a collision or rolls over. In these events, the vehicle’s on-board systems will notify key personnel of the incident, ensuring quick responses in the event of an emergency. This functionality is available via cellular and satellite coverage, for complete confidence in any deployment.
These capabilities deliver multiple benefits by encouraging the adoption of a safe driving culture. Your staff will be safer, you are addressing your duty of care responsibilities, and the public’s perception of your organisation is enhanced through more courteous driving. You are also saving money, because reductions in speeding and harsh driving will certainly lower your fuel and maintenance costs, and possibly result in lower insurance costs too.
Accurately tracking the position and use of trailers, generators, storage containers, and other non-powered assets in the field is a valuable aid to productivity and security. With Smartrak, managers can identify underutilised plant, and are better placed to ensure field operations are adequately resourced. Asset tracking will also support accurate record keeping for service scheduling and maintenance requirements.
Another benefit that’s derived from tracking these assets addresses the key risk fleet managers face around the theft of non-powered assets. By tracking assets, theft can be proactively identified and managed, and potential recovery of these assets sped up. This reduces the likelihood of damage, and the associated insurance and productivity costs that arise from the unavailability of essential assets.
