It also improves the standard of driving and keeps accidents and vehicle misuse to a minimum. No company that carries out a significant proportion of their business on the road should be without it.

VMI™ not only gives a far clearer picture of the frontline business activity of fleet operations, but it drives running costs down and productivity and efficiency up.

VMI™ helps me optimise the utilisation of our fleet. We’re getting at least 20% more work out of our existing resources and no longer need to buy extra vehicles.

The live tracking facility allows you to locate vehicles in real time. The current location, status, direction and speed of a vehicle can be ascertained in seconds. This not only enables you to check on vehicle progress, but also allows you to keep your customers informed of estimated arrival times (ETA's).

To enhance flexibility, there are different ways to track and locate vehicles, from one-off position requests to tracking at set intervals. The map screen has been set up for ease of use and enables as many or as few vehicles as you wish to be viewed at one time.

Please visit our Solutions section for details of Minorplanet's vehicle tracking system.

Our advanced mapping software allows you to zoom right in to see both major and local roads, right down to street level.

Playback provides a visual representation on detailed maps of where vehicles have been, the routes they have taken, where they stopped and for how long they stopped. You can go back to any minute in time and see where vehicles were and what they were doing. Easy to use controls enable the movements of any number of vehicles to be replayed simultaneously. You can watch journeys at a speed and time that suits you.

The Playback feature gives you the option to illustrate journeys with a 'snail trail' to show where a vehicle has been within any start/stop sequence.

Our vehicle tracking systems offer a wide choice of reports that are easy to use and provide essential fleet management information to help you monitor vehicle activity and performance. The reports can be used for a variety of purposes: as electronic timesheets, for example, or for providing your customers with proof of service. You can choose which report to run depending on the type and level of information you require, from a minute-by-minute audit trail of each vehicle to a list of exceptions made by a vehicle, including visits to barred locations.

Autoreports allows you to schedule one or more reports to run automatically at a later time or date. The reports can then be automatically sent to the relevant people via email, sent to a printer or saved as a file.

Please visit our Solutions section for more detailed information about reports.

Taking the most efficient routes will save your company time and money, reducing fuel expenditure and increasing productivity. Our extensive mapping capabilities allow you to plan the most efficient routes for your vehicles, whether it be a simple 'A' to 'B' journey or a round trip with multiple stops. The route is displayed both on a map and in written format, which can be viewed on screen or printed out and handed to employees. You can state for how long the vehicle will be stopping at each way-point in order to predict accurate arrival times for each location.

Telephone calls can be long and expensive, not as precise as they might be and often go unlogged. Text messaging solves these problems. Our system enables text messages to be sent to any mobile phone – simply type in your message and press send. Messages can be sent to an individual employee or to several employees at once, and employees can reply to messages just as they would normally. Job sheets, proof of delivery (POD), route instructions and changes in work priorities can all be sent in text, ensuring that the driver receives the information quickly and accurately.

The financial benefits of replacing voice communications with text can be significant. Many customers have changed from using 100% voice communications to a situation where messages account for 80% of communications and voice only 20%, thus saving significant amounts on company phone bills.

This facility allows you to draw a boundary around a specific location on the system map. It is a user-defined area known as a 'watchbox', enabling you to match the exact perimeter of a desired location. When a tracked vehicle enters the watchbox (or gets within a pre-defined distance), a message is displayed on screen. You can also program the system to send the alert message to the mobile phone numbers of any interested parties, such as Employees or customers.

Your customer, for example, could receive a message saying: “Your delivery is 20 minutes away” or your fleet manager could be informed that: “MP06 5GH is 1 mile away from the warehouse”. Messages can also be sent to confirm when a vehicle has left the allotted area. In fact, this feature can be used for a variety of purposes, including highlighting drivers entering barred locations. The movement of a vehicle outside of normal working hours can be highlighted using the watchbox; this can prove invaluable for security of mobile assets, sending an SMS alert to a mobile phone instantly.

You can also program routes into the system and an alert will be sent if a vehicle deviates from the set route. Live management of vehicle movements allows businesses to take proactive action in unforeseen circumstances, such as immediately re-routing a lost or diverted driver.
