Whether your business operates one or two vans or light commercial trucks operating locally or your fleet has multiple specialised vehicles like tankers or gritters covering regional or even national routes, your vehicles are major assets for your business and represent significant investments.
In those circumstances, the potential impact of stolen vehicles is significant. Losing the wrong vehicle at the wrong time could even cause you to be unable to fulfil a contract, incurring further penalties beyond the cost. As such, standard theft prevention measures may not be enough.
Vision Techniques carries a range of market-leading devices in anti-theft systems, telematics, and recording devices to help you protect and monitor your vehicle fleet and guard against the risk of theft.
We recently rolled out an upgrade to the IDent system, as the VT IDent Plus. This system ensures that only trained, authorised vehicle operators can operate their assigned vehicle. It uses RFID technology or PIN codes to ensure that the vehicle will not move without the presence of an authenticated driver.
Best of all, if your business already uses RFID access systems, perhaps for building entry, the IDent Plus can be configured to use the same seasons, meaning your operators don’t need to worry about any extra equipment.
As an added bonus, this system also incorporates our VT BrakeSafe anti-rollaway braking system.
A telematics system like VT Connect can be a powerful tool in fleet management, but it’s also extremely useful for tracking the movements of a stolen vehicle until and unless deactivated.
This can make for a speedier recovery in the event of a theft – something that’s useful not just for your business but potentially also for your insurance policies.
Especially paired with other recording devices, vehicle cameras don’t just gather evidence in the event of a theft or attempted theft, but when they’re visibly present they can also be a deterrent.
Paired with a VT Bodycam and when your vehicle is on the road you have clear monitoring for security whatever happens.
