The Android app is available for the TomTom PRO 827x series and extends the use of its photo capture capability and geo location tracking to help companies running a transport operation to manage everyday processes more efficiently.
Daily vehicle checks in the VOSA / DVSA format allow drivers to capture details of any defects, with photo capture to provide a detailed record to facilitate forward planning for routine maintenance or repairs and to comply with health and safety requirements for road worthiness. Barcode scanning allows the location of each trailer and unit to be captured as required.
In the case of accident the app supports the driver with a simple response process including capture of all relevant information electronically.
“OBS Logistics is making optimal use of our .Connect partner strategy. They have built an app that our TomTom PRO 827x customers will strongly benefit from,” comments Giles Margerison, sales director at TomTom Telematics.
The information captured by drivers via the device is aggregated in a simple browser based management portal for print or email of documents, reporting and analysis and geo-location of key assets.
