Messaging Systems

Integrated vehicle tracking & messaging

If you need to speak to your staff on the road several times a day, then an integrated vehicle tracking and messaging system could save you thousands of pounds.

The MDT 860 from Navman Wireless is one of the very few systems on the market to offer fixed cost messaging through dedicated in-cab hardware, rather than through a PDA or mobile phone. As well as providing a simple interface designed specifically for the job, you can send unlimited messages for a fixed cost each month.

• Instantly send a message to your entire fleet, alerting them to the location of a severe traffic hold up for example
• Unlike SMS texting, messages are professionally presented and can be managed and organised in a similar way to a standard email in/outbox
• Your drivers get accurate address details for each job and can reply quickly using shortcut pre-prepared replies eg. Job accepted, arrived onsite
• Automatic confirmation that messages have been received means that jobs don't get lost
• The MDT’s integral Duty of Care module prompts your drivers to carry out an initial vehicle safety check every day, safeguarding them from risks such as bald tyres, low air pressure or faulty lights. As well as ensuring that your mobile workforce remains compliant with health and safety policies, it also demonstrates your commitment to duty of care under the Corporate Manslaughter Act.
• You can run message reports for each vehicle or driver showing an audit trail of all messages, telling you how long it is taking drivers to respond to messages, how long it took them to arrive at a job, how long they spent there and whether they are free for another job.  For companies with KPIs based on response times, such as Housing Associations responding to tenants’ maintenance requests, this can prove invaluable.
• If you travel to Europe, we also offer a fixed-cost European roaming option
• There's only one fixed cost every month, no matter how many messages you and your team send, so there's no surprises and it's much easier to budget and control costs
