Stop Theft with Vehicle Tracking Systems

The theft of a vehicle can cause major disruption, upset and most importantly lost profits.

There are now systems on the market which are accredited by Thatcham to category 5. This meets with some insurance companies requirements for certain vehicles. These types of advanced technology within fleet tracking systems can track a full range of vehicles , anything from vans, HGVs and plant, all in real-time and to the exact street and with some of the systems this can provide a process that can immobilise the vehicle for an easier and faster recovery. Some systems could potentially be linked with police response departments thus proving this to be a solution more and more fleet managers are choosing.

It is best to get your tracking systems installed by VSIB Approved engineers, so when searching for the right system for you, this is something to bear in mind. Most companies can install within 3-5 working days and arrange with you to have as many vehicles done on the same day as possible to minimise disruption. If they are Nationwide installers, which is of course beneficial, then you can arrange or certain vehicles to be done wherever they touch down.

By implementing such vehicle tracking systems, you can see significant reductions in insurance premiums due to the visibility of activity during theft, the level of police response this enables and the increased speed in recovery of the vehicle.

Imagine being able to supply the police with real-time information on where your vehicle is, how fast it is travelling and any stops it has made, possibly even at the thief’s home address!. Some Vehicle tracking solutions also have an automatic immobiliser button which means you can cut the vehicle dead in these situations, of course where it is safe to do so.
