Business value
Our coolTRACK Platform increases operator efficiency by visualizing fleet management tasks. The real time view
makes sure that your vehicles are used according to company policy. With easily verified vehicle positions your
vehicles are used more efficiently and unnecessary driving is reduced. Customers also report significantly better
vehicle utilization and overall economy as vehicles are used more in line with corporate policies.
The problem with stolen merchandise and hijacked vehicles is increasing for many transportation companies.
Profit margins can quickly be turned into big losses if a heavy truck is stolen.
Solution: In the Metrack Platform you can get SOS alarms from the driver. The alarms can be displayed in a
web interface or sent by SMS and email to supervisors. When an incident occurs the real time position of the
stolen vehicle can be forwarded to a security company or the police in a light weight mobile phone interface. The
Metrack platform can also generate automatic alarms if a vehicle is leaving a pre-defined area or if someone is
tampering with the tracking device in the vehicle.
Fuel costs are increasing and it is expensive not to utilize the fleet and drivers optimally. Excessive speed is the
largest single factor for increased fuel consumption. The simple solution for better fuel economy is to keep
vehicle speed below 100kmh and eliminate all non-essential stops.
Solution: In the Metrack Platform you can create real time alarms if vehicles breach a maximum speed limit
defined by company policy. You can also generate reports about the fuel consumption over time. With an
accelerometer installed in the tracking device you can report on harsh acceleration and breaking. The Metrack
Platform can also identify idle time and help to avoid non-essential stops all in real time and they can be sent as
SMS, email or in usage reports.
It is common for transportation companies to work under tight schedules to fully utilize the fleet. In scenarios
where the end customers are expecting the delivery a given time a delay is frustrating and often connected with
penalties for the transportation company. Regular customers for transport companies often require historical
information about shipment arrivals, the time to load and the time to get to the destination.
Solution: In the K- Track Platform a fleet manager can directly answer a calling customer about the location
of a transport. The time of arrival can also be estimated more accurate. By uploading all regular customer
addresses to Metrack Platform its possible to generate reports of when vehicles have visited a customer and how
long time was used for loading.

Delivery Safety and Peace of Mind
Travel distance cost savings due to correct usage of vehicles. Its obvious to everybody with a fleet of
vehicles that there is room for improving the way the vehicles are used by the drivers. Even if the company
policy says that the driver is allowed to use the car for private use there is a limit to what the company can
afford. By introducing you tracking solution based on Omniscout Platform you provide your customer with a
powerful tool to make sure that the vehicles are used in an effective way. The management team of the
transportation company will be able to see who is the most effective driver and give them the awards that
they deserve.
The drivers that are not as effective can be given some training or guidance on how to improve. Another
benefit that customers have reported is the fact that they now have a proof of that a vehicle has been in a
certain place at a certain time.
Saving due to less speeding. When you drive faster you consume more fuel. By introducing Metrack the
customer can see when drivers have been driving faster than the company policy or the legal limit. Your
customer can train their drivers to avoid speeding and explain why its important to the total costs of
the business. Your customers can even get alarms when the speeding limit is broken and take action on
this information. Speeding is not only expensive due to consumption of fuel, its also a security risk.
There is also increased cost and inconvenience if a driver loses the driving license.

Saving due to better follow up on loading of goods. If the customer deliver goods that has to be
loaded or offloaded on many addresses during the day it is essential to know how much time that is
spent on this task. All stops that are done during a day are automatically registered and can be reported
on. The reports can help your customer to improve the overall time for delivering goods or
services. Longer stops mean less profit to the customer.
Saving due to less time spent on finding vehicles. A common problem for a company with a fleet is to
know what vehicle is best suited for a specific pick up. Customers have reported that they spend a lot of
time with drivers to understand where they are and if they are able to take a new order. Time is also
spent on calling up customers and informing them where the vehicle with a delivery is. By implementing
the tracking solution the customers will be able to see what vehicle is available and best positioned to a
specific pick up. If an end user is calling your customer to know where the delivery is the operator can
see the position of the vehicle and estimate the travel time to the customer. Less phone calls saves
money and increases the security for the driver. Real time positioning information of a delivery
increases the customer satisfaction for the end user.
Saving due to avoided lost/stolen goods. Many customers have reported that they suffer from stolen
goods. By implementing the tracking solution the customer can analyze historical tracks to see where
the goods have been stolen. All stops are registered and this can help in the search of the stolen goods
and, more importantly, it can help eliminating the driver as a suspect. If there are stops that are not
possible to explain the driver could be involved in the loss of goods. Informing drivers about the new
solution can automatically reduce the amount of goods lost.
Saving due to less stolen fuel in Vehicles. Customers have also reported problems with stolen fuel. The
first sign is that too much fuel is used compared to the distance driven. The customers find it hard to
find out if there has been a theft or if its a natural, but high, fuel consumption. After installing your
tracking solution they can be able to generate alarms when fuel is stolen.
