Major Facts Ltd Appointed as Amicus Reseller
Newly-formed UK technology solutions resellers, Major Facts Ltd, have been appointed by Amicus to provide Amicus VMS (vehicle management solutions) support.
(PRWEB) October 30, 2004
Amicus VMS Ltd has appointed Major Facts Ltd as a value added reseller for its innovative online vehicle management system providing accurate information for all types of material handling and plant equipment.
This partnership is the first of its type and offers Major Facts Ltd access to dedicated assistance, customised support tools and special promotions. The product is called Amicus VMS (Vehicle Management System) which uses some of the latest technologies including GPS/GPRS and GSM, working in tandem with a bespoke core data logger which collates accurately calibrated vehicle data. Each driver operating the vehicle is identified by means of a dedicated touch key, from a ‘Health & Safety’ perspective this is particularly useful as vehicles can then only be operated by authorised drivers.
The Amicus VMS unit records details such as, hours run, driver I. D., start stop times, duration of journeys, speeds, locations, crash data and security. In turn the data collected can be downloaded automatically via integrated software which provides detailed management reports for the operator. This information provides operators with critical data covering key areas of productivity and utilisation and thus increasing overall profitability.
Additional Amicus VMS unit features include: - auxiliary monitoring such as power take off, warning lights, real time tracking and a full selection of management reports. In the event of a vehicle breakdown, a ‘sms’ message can be triggered back to base giving details of the defective vehicle and its location. The cost benefits are highly significant to operators. Both Amicus VMS Ltd and Major Facts Ltd have worked together on various projects over the last six months but will now combine their existing knowledge and work together to provide a vehicle management system that is well suited to the demands of material handling environments such as forklift trucks.
Major Facts Ltd will be marketing the product through a specialised sales team. The first example of this is their forklift management solution, they've named Forktrak.
Forktrak is powered by Amicus vms and has pioneered a revolutionary tailor-made telematics solution to resolve operational issues experienced in the materials handling industry.
Director Steve Green said Forktrak would be capitalising upon our in-depth experience of the materials handling, we have invested time in to working to understand the materials handling suppliers and operators issues.
"This is a unique product that gives both the operator and the supplier Total Fleet Management of their equipment," he said.
