Causeway Telematics solutions provide advanced vehicle tracking for enhanced fleet management, with the option of seamless integration to Vixen Service & Maintenance or other work-scheduling applications.

 

With Vixen Telematics live location data becomes central to the efficient scheduling of work to field-based staff. For example, work can be allocated to the nearest and first available operative to minimise journey distances and fuel usage, yielding significant financial savings. Telematics can also draw on data from Vixen to determine suitability for projects (e.g. whether the operative is GasSafe registered).

 

For fleet managers Causeway Telematics also incorporates Fleet Monitor to provide back-office staff with instant access to live vehicle trails for the entire fleet, as well as route history and journey stop/stop times.
