Harnessing efficient fleets through Tracker, TomTom

The device offers greater control over driving efficiency for every car, van or truck by monitoring driver performance, as well as the vehicle's position and movement. Fleet owners and commercial vehicle transport companies can use it to report fuel consumption, over-revving and fuel levels by utilising a truck's standard Fleet Management System (FMS) interface. This allows detection of fuel drops and refills and triggers automatic notifications to help managers detect incidences of fuel theft, which has become a growing concern for businesses across the world.

As sole distributor of TomTom Business in Southern Africa, Tracker offers fleet management technology to help manage the risk of scarce resources such as fuel, human capital, time and money more effectively.

"The latest device highlights the manufacturer's commitment to constant innovation, providing easily implemented products that offer a significant boost to businesses' bottom line. We provide solutions to help fleet owners track their drivers and their vehicles, control their expenses and maximise their profits," says Michael Van Wyngaardt, Tracker Business director.

"The soaring cost of fuel has made it the number one concern for many fleet operators and this device builds on the existing product portfolio to give fleet operators even greater power to improve efficiency, monitor driver behaviour and deliver cost savings. We believe that every company that uses vehicles for business will become more profitable by putting this device at the heart of their vehicles."

It can be quickly installed into any vehicle and works alongside the company's online fleet management system Webfleet to provide detailed reports on all aspects of vehicle utilisation and driver behaviour and has a proven track record in delivering businesses significant efficiency gains and increased billable time of their mobile workforce. Used with a PRO navigation device, it also offers job dispatch, ETA communication and working time management functionality.

Custom features to enhance security and remote vehicle monitoring are made available through integration with the digital inputs and output of the device.
