Effective and Affordable Fleet Tracking
WHY Checkmate®? (The Checkmate® System)

1. BACKGROUND ON Checkmate®              (Common Thoughts) (Real-timve v Passive)

In today’s global market, competitiveness and escalating labor costs, companies can no longer afford the unnecessary costs associated with the abuse of their assets. Although stricter controls and improved management methods are introduced, these become ineffective the instant the vehicle, driver, sales representatives etc. leaves the premises.

Checkmate is a powerful multi-tasking resource management tool that allows companies to monitor the activities of their vehicles and drivers (two most expensive resources) while away from the office for a day or extended periods of time.


2. THE Checkmate SYSTEM

Checkmate is a fleet management system that uses GPS satellite-technology to track the activities of vehicles and drivers. Once the vehicle has returned to the office, you can call up its route on your computer screen: showing all visits, deliveries, stops and how the vehicle was driven. An interactive vehicle-driver trip profile ensures that driver accountability is maintained, even if your vehicles have multiple drivers. Powerful reporting structures, from ‘management by exception’ to detailed reports and graphs, provide you with all you need to know about your employee’s activities when they are away from the office.


3. WHY ARE WE SELLING Checkmate TO MANAGEMENT?

Checkmate allows management to:

Monitor and control the company’s most expensive and important resources – fleet     and people.
Improve on-time service, billing accuracy and service verification.
Improve safety with seatbelt use, slower speeds, reduced driving.
Eliminate abuse of company assets by staff for their personal gain e.g. unscheduled    deliveries and moonlighting.
Improve productivity by eliminating non-work related activity.
Reduce operating costs with slower speeds and fewer miles driven.


4. WHAT ARE THE MAIN FEATURES?

 Passive and real-time units can be used in the same fleet.
Data stored locally means security and accessibility for other applications.
Web based solutions limit the time data can be stored from 30-90 days.
Large fleets can deploy real-time units on where needed to minimize airtime fees.
Speed, distances and times electronically determined from the satellites. This results    in a quick installation (approx. 1 hr.), has substantially increased product reliability    and eliminated the possibility for data tampering.
Allows tracking of vehicles and drivers even if vehicles have multiple drivers.
Controls which drivers are allowed to drive which vehicles.
Easy to use Windows software with maps.
Powerful reporting structure from management by exception to detailed reports.
 Information automatically given both in text format and in Microsoft® Excel (graphs    and spreadsheets).
Unique capabilities not found on any other passive vehicle tracking system.

Vehicle Tracking System

Have you ever asked yourself the following questions?

“Where is the driver, he should have been back an hour ago?”

“Why is our fuel account so high?”

“Why wasn't the delivery made on time”

“What are my reps actual call rates”

If you have answered “Yes” to any of these questions, your controls are inadequate. Checkmate is the answer!

What business owners say:
"I was able to download from my office in the center of the building, through a commercial refrigerator with the trucks 100 yards away." (results may vary).

What business owners say:
"I have been using the Checkmate system for about two years now. 'Fuel Taxes', I no longer have to tally per state mileages, Checkmate does it for me. That, and the ability to see exactly where a bus has been, how fast it was going during travel is invaluable information. Checkmate does the work of three people, I could not operate without it."
