Ctrack launches CEP vehicle tracking solution
Ctrack has launched a vehicle tracking solution aimed specifically at the courier and express delivery (CEP) marketplace. According to the company, Ctrack Courier has been developed to help tackle some of the most common and difficult challenges facing businesses in the CEP sector, with a particular focus on security, driving behaviour and operational visibility.
With multi-drop delivery vehicles increasingly at risk from opportunistic thieves when they are stationary, Ctrack Courier has been designed to better protect vans and their valuable cargo.
“We are offering a bespoke solution for courier and express delivery operators that incorporates enhanced features and benefits, which off-the-shelf telematics systems do not provide,” explains John Wisdom, European Managing Director of Ctrack. “There are many 1,000s of delivery vehicles in UK and mainland Europe that are fitted with our technology, so we have used this experience to develop a solution that addresses many of the day-to-day operational issues confronting the industry.”
Ctrack Courier features a high-pitched siren that will sound in the event of any unauthorised opening of doors while the engine is running, including the rear and side loading doors. Meanwhile, notifications will automatically alert the control room of an issue. The Ctrack software can then be used to immobilise the vehicle remotely in the event of a theft or hijacking, which once activated will also trigger the siren.
Furthermore, Ctrack said that the system will enable a company to know “exactly which driver is operating any vehicle at any given time”.
Ctrack Courier offers a tailored reporting suite and management dashboard to identify and respond to harsh driving and speeding events and prioritize training needs. The information can also be shared with insurance partners in the event of an incident.
