Quartix wins Vehicle Tracking Solutions Award in 2009 Institute of Transport Management Honours.
15 April 2009
The Institute of Transport Management (ITM) has awarded Quartix its 'Vehicle Tracking Solutions 2009' Award, following wide-ranging consultation and rigorous research into the sector.
The cost-effectiveness of the solution and the dedicated customer care offered by Quartix were cited as two of the main factors in the decision. ITM noted that the economic downturn is increasing the pressure on the transport industry to eliminate inefficiencies and streamline their operating procedures, and that vehicle tracking has become an essential tool in that effort.
The Quartix system, with three different levels of functionality and pricing, allows the customer to select and pay for only those services they really need, and Quartix earned particular praise for keeping costs to a minimum for the customer and having no hidden charges.
The company has a straightforward, transparent pricing scheme, with no upgrade costs, licence charges, or add-on fees of any kind. It is able to offer its entry-level option, which includes live tracking, driver timesheets, and route map display, for just 61p a day, and has just introduced a "Pay as You Go" scheme specifically to meet the concerns of those customers who are unable to make long term forecasts and commitments in these uncertain times.
Good customer care, personal and prompt, is a matter of pride for Quartix, with over 50% of its business last year coming from repeat orders and referrals. ITM's research reported highly positive feedback from customers, and a product which is well designed and easy to use.
Announcing the award for "Vehicle Tracking Solutions 2009" to Quartix, ITM Awards Liaison Officer Mr. Philip Leung said:
"At a time when budgets are tight across the board, companies operating vehicle fleets need to keep pushing down costs by means of reorganization or the introduction of new products which can make an immediate and lasting operational impact. The growing popularity of telematics technology highlights the importance of using monitoring systems to maintain an optimum performance level. However, it’s all too easy to get carried away by impressively nuanced gadgetry which comes at too high a price. A better option in many cases is to go for streamlined functionality backed up by straightforward service and frank advice appropriate to a client’s individual circumstances.
Quartix is a company which prides itself on its dependability and no-nonsense approach in supplying cost-effective vehicle tracking solutions. The Awards Committee of the Institute is delighted to accredit Quartix with the ‘Vehicle Tracking Solutions 2009’ title and offers its warmest congratulations to everyone at Quartix on this worthy achievement."
