Telematics company ABAX has introduced a new product designed to keep track of the equipment stored on customers’ vans.
Smart Inventory provides real-time oversight of tool inventories across multiple vehicles, to ensure that vans are always fully equipped and ready for the next job, without the need to physically check them.
If a van doesn’t contain a required tool, drivers and fleet managers will be alerted within minutes to any items they have forgotten or left behind.
ABAX says this minimising any loss of income from jobs lost or delayed because vans aren’t fully equipped, and helps to reduce the cost to businesses from lost tools.
ABAX UK commercial director Craig Allan said: “We have developed ABAX Smart Inventory to meet clear customer needs that many have said they’ve been trying to resolve for years.
“We know our customers regularly waste significant time, money and resources because their vans aren’t properly stocked, or because they have left tools behind.
“Tracking systems are helpful in identifying where the items are, but ABAX Smart Inventory goes much further – it provides peace of mind for fleet managers and business owners, as they know drivers always have the tools they need to get on with the job in hand. Already our clients using the solution have found it drives efficiencies and saves them time, money and resource.”
