With motor fraud and theft on the rise, looking after and keeping track of a busy and in-demand fleet is a bigger task than ever before, not to mention the difficulty involved in recovering stolen vehicles and the cost of replacing them if not recovered.
However, using a combination of innovative technology and human expertise, you can stay one step ahead to fully protect your assets from loss, damage or theft.
This is frustrating for fleet operators and asset protection managers alike; not only does the risk of theft have financial implications in terms of insurance, loss of use and vehicle replacement costs, it also affects companies’ abilities to maximise fleet utilisation and deliver the best possible experience to their customers. Replacing stolen vehicles is costly, not to mention the headache involved with stolen vehicle recovery without any devices.
Even with conventional security measures in place, recovering a stolen vehicle isn’t easy. Thieves are becoming more savvy when it comes to vehicle theft. They know where to find the manufacturer’s own tracking devices and disable them, rendering them useless. In order to truly protect your fleet, intuitive, covert technology that is difficult for thieves to detect is essential.
Motor insurance fraud is a growing problem in the UK; according to fraud prevention membership organisation Cifas, fraudulent motor insurance claims have seen a 45% increase over the last year.
Staged accident or injury claims involving your courtesy or hire cars can cost you a lot of money. Repairs to damaged vehicles can be expensive, and risk of fraud can dramatically increase your insurance premiums.
With that in mind, it’s never been more important to protect your vehicles from damage as a result of insurance fraud.
Covert tracking (not to be confused with OEM telematics devices, which can easily be identified and removed by criminals) is an invaluable investment for fleet and asset protection managers. Using a range of techniques, covert tracking devices avoid detection from criminals, making them difficult to trace. They are even intelligent enough to know if they are being tampered with.
But knowing there is a problem won’t help if you haven’t got the expertise and knowledge to recover your vehicle. Unfortunately, the police are often too thinly stretched to be able to react quickly to a simple theft. With intelligent covert technology, you not only have the peace of mind that your vehicle can be traced if stolen, but more importantly a team of specialists will look to recover it immediately.
When combined with connected telematics, dashcam devices and intelligent software, the data provided monitors and sends alerts for erratic driver behaviour, unusual/high risk locations such as ports and race tracks, and also any accidents. It delivers detailed reports for all aspects of the vehicle position and its driver’s behaviour. That way, you’ll be able to present evidence against drivers claiming that the accident happened differently to the description in the report.
Car theft protection incorporates the ability to recover vehicles (at an additional cost) that have either been stolen or not returned once a loan period has ended. This means you get peace of mind that you’ll always have a full fleet and reduces costs, as you won’t need to pay for replacements.
Often used as an add-on to AX Connect to bring together telematics, dashcam devices, intelligent software and the human expertise of ex-police investigators, AX Protect is a value-add service that brings you total peace of mind.
In the event of theft, we do everything to track, locate and recover your vehicles; AX has a proven track record for vehicle recovery, from large-scale international car thefts to individuals getting their vehicles back in less than 60 minutes.
