Isotrak and Verilocation are to gain integrated breathalyser immobilisation systems with the group’s acquisition of Alcolock GB Ltd.
Helping fleets to comply with Duty of Care commitments, Alcolock’s breathalyser technology is integrated with a GPS unit, enabling customers to retrieve data and analysis of its driver community via a web portal. If the alcohol content of a driver is measured above the legal or other lower preset limit, the vehicle is immobilised and an alert also sent immediately.
The systems will be integrated with Isotrak and Verilocation’s tracking units, with development work scheduled to enable customer access via the respective web interfaces.
Andrew Overton, group technology director and CEO of Verilocation said, “The breathalyser immobilisation technology is a highly complementary add-on to our current platform and will be fully integrated into our end-to-end telematics, journey management, camera and ePOD systems, which will immediately offer an enhanced system proposition to Verilocation and Isotrak customers.”
The deal of Alcolock follows the acquisition and integration of fleet management technology business Verilocation in June last year by the Isotrak Group.
