Transportation & Freight

Regardless of the type of transportation, clear voice communication is vital to business operations. In the 21st century where data is becoming increasingly important, being able to receive real time data from your vehicles or drivers has become equally important to business operations. TechRentals recognises these challenges and can provide a suite of solutions for vehicles and drivers, as well as depot operations and management.

ON THE ROAD

Coverage
Traditional radio systems were limited in their coverage due to the vast landscape and need to erect a network of radio repeaters at considerable cost. TechRentals provides communication that uses Australian public cellular networks as its backbone. This means radio users now have extended coverage and can transmit and receive messages wherever 3G/4G exists.

Low Maintenance Vehicle Units
Traditional in-vehicle radio setups required on-going maintenance from outside radio companies with units being installed, which meant drilling into the vehicle itself to feed and integrate the wiring. External antennas are constantly replaced by outside radio companies due to damage that occurs during a shift. With TechRentals’s vehicle radios all units can easily be installed by the customer in under 10 minutes with no external antennas to manage or replace, saving thousands of dollars on maintenance per year.

Asset Management Software
With data becoming increasingly important to businesses, having as much information from one source, on one screen is efficient and cost effective. TechRentals’s asset management software provides an all-in-one solution with the following benefits:

• Voice & Messaging Dispatch allows depot staff to talk and message drivers through a laptop or tablet removing bulky radios from work areas.
• Voice Recording allows depot staff and management to replay messages during important scenarios for review.
• Private Calling allows depot staff to call one driver without disrupting others.
• Driver Safety is enhanced with lone worker functionality which sends depot staff an alert after a period of time if there has been no activity from the driver. Drivers can also activate a duress alarm in an incident for immediate assistance with location details available.
• Vehicle Tracking provides depot staff with real time location and speed over ground information at their fingertips. Depot staff can also monitor Geo Fenced areas and be alerted when a driver enters or leaves a Geo Fenced area.
