Testimonials

Motorclean Ltd have been using ADSI for many years to provide their mobile phones and had no hesitation in using them once more when they were looking for a vehicle tracking solution. Operating a large vehicle fleet throughout the UK, Motorclean required an effective tracking system to monitor their vehicles efficiently. Furthermore, dealing with the car industry regularly, they also required the latest technology available.

Our telematics team assessed the business requirements and recommended Navman Tracking Systems for their vehicles with Bluetooth car kits. Dave Warren at Motorclean recommends the excellent services and business solutions provided by ADSI.

Jeremy Curran, Director at Curran Packaging was pleased with the handling of vehicle tracking installation and the account by ADSI’s Telematics team.

‘The Navman system allows us to check on the location of our delivery drivers, enabling us to reschedule deliveries and advise our customers of estimated delivery times. We are also able to set the system up so that we receive an email when a driver enters a particular area. This is especially useful when our drivers enter the London Congestion Zone as we can then pay the charge for the day and avoid fines later on. The solution is not only cheap but very easy to manage’.

Telematics installation by ADSI paid off for V J Millman Transport….

A lorry was stolen from their yard and quick logical thinking enabled them to recover it using the BOX tracking unit that ADSI had installed. They were able to locate and immobilise the vehicle remotely from the office until it could safely be recovered. Even better; the company passed on the historical data from the unit to the police to help with their investigation.

Duncan Page, Transport Manager, is extremely pleased with the system and its performance; he recommends the Box vehicle tracking solutions for any similar transport companies.

ADSI’s pro-active account management expertise with the introduction of Navman’s tracking service PMC International Group have been running their fleet of vehicles more efficiently and saving money at the same time. Initially, the solution was forecasted to have paid for itself within the first eight months. But the added level of control provided by the tracking system meant that Neil Beverley, Director of PMS, saw a return on their investment in less than that timeframe.

“Being able to run our in-house software in conjunction with Navman’s tracking service saves us a lot of admin time and ensures that all the vans are used efficiently,” he explains.
