Keeping Track

'Keeping Track' - whether it's to find where you are and where you're going to, helping to locate a stolen vehicle or for a fleet manager or where your drivers are and what they're doing! We can provide you with solutions to keep on track.

Navigation Systems - for business and private users

If you haven't got a navigation system, how much time do you waste not knowing exactly where you're going? If a factory fitted navigation system is out of your budget, Alternative Route can provide you with a portable system which can be fitted to your vehicle's dashboard or windscreen and include it in the monthly payments of your finance agreement.

Trackers - for business and private users

It's a sad fact that a vehicle is stolen every 2 minutes in the UK and over half of those are never seen again! There are a number of tracking systems available, which once activated, work like an electronic homing device. A covert transmitter is hidden discretely in one of several dozen places around your vehicle. There is no visible aerial or other identifying feature so the thief can't see it and won't know it's there. As our recommended tracking systems are Thatcham listed, having one fitted will not only give you peace of mind but may even reduce your insurance premiums. Ask us about including this in your contract.

Telematics - for business users

It's a problem faced by many fleet managers. How do you know that your drivers are driving safely, doing what they're supposed to do and going where they're supposed to be going? You can either trust your employees or look to technology for the solution with telematics. The technology works through a combination of a satellite GPS receiver and a modem 'black box' installed in each vehicle which communicates with a central unit through either PC or web-based software. This provides you with a visual display linked to mapping software so that you can keep track of who is where and management reports that will ensure that your drivers are driving responsibly, staying within the speed limit and not exceeding their working hours. Having the ability to monitor, track and record vehicle activity has a host of benefits that can make for a safer and more efficient fleet. Plus, it can help to save you money - fuel usage, wage bills, mileage and vehicle maintenance costs often decrease as a direct result of having a vehicle tracking solution in place!
