The global business environment is changing, and at a rapid pace, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. To survive during these troubling times, businesses and their partners must continually adapt to survive and give themselves an edge over their competitors.

Owning and operating vehicles efficiently, no matter the industry, is reliant on information. Having the correct information in a tangible format is imperative to making the right decisions. A comprehensive fleet management solution ensures that safety and security risks, such as dangerous driving, safety, driver fatigue, theft, hijackings and area management, can be mitigated. “No matter what industry your business operates in, if you use vehicles or moveable assets, then Ctrack can help. During Ctrack’s 30-year history, we have developed cutting edge tracking and fleet management hardware and software solutions. We can also tailor-make analytics to aid with short-and long-term decision-making,” comments Hein Jordt, Managing Director of Ctrack SA.

Improved productivity is guaranteed when business owners know how their vehicles are being used. Efficient fleet management will ensure the avoidance of unnecessary costs incurred by factors such as speeding, accidents, fuel consumption and harsh driving.

Bespoke solutions for every industry

Ctrack has developed and perfected bespoke tracking and fleet management solutions for a wide variety of industries, whether it be a fleet of motorcycles or mining and yellow equipment, within airports or the agricultural sector. Compact, battery-operated tracking devices mean that anything can be tracked, from combine harvesters to small packages.

“Ctrack’s continued emphasis on researching and developing next-generation products ensures that we remain ahead of the market, meeting demands for value-added, flexible, feature-rich and cost-effective technology that keeps everything ‘Always Visible’ no matter your industry of operation,” says Jordt.

Testament to this is the fact that Ctrack also provides integrated solutions with third parties and products that are not normally seen as true tracking products. This one-stop shop for fleet managers provides solutions such as a state-of-the-art camera solution, Ctrack Iris, where transport and asset managers can view live camera footage from dash cams and up to six cameras fitted to trucks, trailers and inside cargo bodies. In-cab devices that assist drivers with multitasking and route management – a result of years of development – are easily accessible via mobile devices and cloud-based platforms.

Using data effectively

Cutting edge hardware relies on rock-solid software to operate effectively and to provide users with the necessary information in a tangible format.

Ctrack can help any business, big or small, take the guesswork out of running fleets. Real-time, weekly or monthly reports analyse the data and highlight where an action or decision needs to be made, whether it is regarding driver behaviour, route optimisation or vehicle maintenance.

Ctrack’s Bureau Service is the complete outsourcing of fleet control room activities, backed by highly proficient hindsight, insight and foresight data analytics and reporting. Furthermore, easy- to-use software solutions such as Ctracks’s Driver Mobi application allow assets to be monitored from almost anywhere using a smartphone or tablet with an internet connection. In addition to vehicle locations, Ctrack’s real-time visibility software, including mobile applications and website dashboards, provide valuable information on drivers, points of interest, ground coverage, upcoming tasks and even a live productivity dashboard. The culmination of real-time visibility, proactive notifications and infographics ensures optimised and efficient asset utilisation and ultimately a more profitable operation across a variety of industries.

Africa focus

Ctrack believes that the next frontier for growth is Africa as information and communications technology (ICT) is critical to the future of the 1.3 billion-plus people with the youngest population globally. Growth opportunities continue, and, together with digital transformation trends, the youth demographic presents an incredible opportunity for Ctrack.

With a presence in Africa stretching from South Africa as the base to representation in Zimbabwe, Namibia, Zambia, Ghana, Nigeria, Mozambique, Malawi, Senegal, Benin and the DRC, Ctrack is well- positioned to keep assets ‘Always Visible.’
