INTRODUCTION Having established itself in no less than eleven Sub-Saharan African countries and with more than 230 000 vehicles already on its system both locally and internationally, Cartrack is proud to boast one of the highest recovery rates in the vehicle tracking industry. Offering a variety of stolen vehicle recovery and fleet management packages, Cartrack not only employs state-of-the-art GSM and satellite tracking technology, but also strives to provide its customers with superior service and total peace of mind. Developed by some of the most experienced players in the tracking and fleet management industry, the Cartrack vehicle recovery system has superior functionality, is extremely reliable and very affordable. Cartrack also offers the corporate client a choice of either basic or comprehensive fleet monitoring services. These are designed to provide effective solutions for the operation, control and management of fleets. The Cartrack system was originally developed and implemented for the Sub-Saharan African market where vehicle theft was, and still is, amongst the highest and most sophisticated in the world. Since Cartrack employs an extensive ground and air recovery infrastructure, we are able to recover vehicles that travel beyond South African borders. Since we are committed to delivering the highest levels of service, quality and support, Cartrack enjoys widespread accreditation from major motor manufacturers and insurers. Cartrack has been awarded the Technology Top 100 rating, acknowledging excellence in technology. THE CARTRACK SYSTEM ENSURES Accurate vehicle positioning due to superior coverage Every tracking system on the market relies on communication with the unit in the vehicle. The Cartrack system uses the GSM (Global Systems for Mobile Communications) network the most extensive, reliable and fastest growing communication network currently available to the vehicle tracking industry. Advanced use of GSM technology not only enables our recovery teams to accurately locate a vehicle, but also allows the client to track the movement of their vehicles via the internet. The GPS satellite technology employed by our comprehensive fleet management package provides the user with pinpoint accuracy in the monitoring of their fleet.
Cross-border coverage and recovery Every Cartrack unit is equipped with international roaming capabilities, and can therefore be tracked beyond South African borders where roaming arrangements exist. Secondary radio beacons also enable air and ground response teams to locate vehicles in areas where GSM coverage may be sparse. The extensive use of helicopters and, where necessary, fixed-wing aircraft ensures rapid and far-reaching tracking capability. Effective installation and concealment The inventive design of the Cartrack unit makes it extremely compact, thus allowing for its effective concealment. Installations are carried out by trained Cartrack technicians and electronic connections are kept to a minimum so as not to interfere with the vehicle s systems. For added customer convenience, our fitters will install the unit at a suitable location requested by the client. Free 24-hour unit testing service Cartrack provides its clients with a free, 24-hour unit testing service. All it takes is one call to the Cartrack control centre, and a test will immediately be carried out. Power monitoring The Cartrack system uses the vehicle s battery as its main source of power. In the event of the battery power being disconnected, the unit switches to an internal backup battery. Power failure conditions are also continually monitored to further facilitate recoveries. De-installation/re-installation services In the event of a change of vehicle ownership, or if the client wishes to transfer his tracking unit from one vehicle to another, Cartrack will de-install/re-install the unit for a minimal fee. Unit and installation warranty Cartrack offers a one year warranty on both the unit and the installation. Since we are accredited by both the insurance and motor industries, Cartrack guarantees that our unit installations will not affect your vehicle manufacturer s warranty in any way.
