With health and safety remaining a top priority despite the recession, warehouse and transport managers are turning to Quartix Pay As You Go vehicle tracking for a flexible, cost-saving solution.
Andy Kirk, the company’s sales and marketing director, says: “Health and safety legislation has to be met whatever the situation, but in this economic climate very few managers want to be tied to long-term contracts.
“Our pay as you go product represents the complete answer, being both extremely affordable and involving no long-term contract or penalty.”
Guaranteeing advanced online tracking 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the Quartix system covers all major aspects of health and safety, including:
• Recording all vehicle movements in a yard and elsewhere, and supplying data whenever investigations arise
• Better fleet control, ensuring vehicles don’t return to the yard. (Late loading so often causes rushing and increased risk)
• Early warning of unavoidably late vehicles, enabling better yard work load planning, and ensuring the correct staff are on-hand as vehicles return
• Out-of hours reporting – displaying any vehicles that have been moved when they should not have been. (Stopping unauthorised vehicle movements dramatically reduces risk)
• Controlling vehicles not allowed in certain areas and issuing warnings when this happens
• Ensuring vehicles above a certain weight are parked in designated ‘overnight’ areas. (All vehicles should always be parked correctly)
• Monitoring lone workers to ensure their safety
• Monitoring vehicle speeds and driver behaviour
Currently, Quartix provides three main funding options: outright purchase, lease finance, and Quartix Pay As You Go.
With three versions to choose from, the Quartix Pay As You Go system can be tailored to suit an operator’s exact requirements, from simple tracking through to the Corporate system, which is ideal for large multi-site fleets.
Quartix, the first major supplier to offer pay as you go telematics, tracks more than 20,000 vehicles and its system is in use by companies large and small, including household names from all sectors of the UK economy.
The new product can be bought online through Quartix’s website www.quartix.net or by calling the company on 0870 013 6663.
