As a result, the company will now be able to monitor employees using its fleet of specialist vehicles and equipment that includes de-icers, power units, baggage tractors, loaders, stairs, catering trucks and beltloaders. The application allows workers to be identified, as well as the time that the GSE was in use.
Ctrack was selected in the wake of a competitive tender process involving nine leading telematics suppliers. KES made the decision based on the solution's ability to create a user-friendly situation that combined the latest technology with cost efficiency and high levels of service delivery.
Ctrack has developed a unique platform that enables multiple KLM departments and other supplier companies operating at Schiphol to sign employees in and out. The solution can actually manage access to KES equipment for 5,000 out of 60,000 airport staff cardholders. This will also allow KES to accumulate precise details of how long an employee uses the equipment in order to support automated invoicing.
In addition, KES will now be able to employ a desktop computer, smartphone or tablet to view where specific equipment is located, particularly ground power units, to help the company maximise the use of available resources. Moving forward, the battery voltage for electric equipment will also be displayed on a dashboard, enabling users to select a charged piece of equipment.
Hilger van Dam, Managing Director of Ctrack Benelux, commented: "Our identification software and telematics expertise is enabling companies such as KES to outsource use management per user group without losing the visibility of assets. This has the potential to save many hours of administrative work, while providing the basis for making fleet operations more flexible."
