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.
"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."
