Vehicle Tracking System (VTS)

The Vehicle Tracking System (VTS) has been designed and developed by Patrick Autocare to track the transportation and processing of vehicles. The VTS provides visibility of a vehicle from the time the ship arrives at the port to the time of delivery to the dealer.

Tracks Each Process

The VTS tracks all vehicle movements from point of entry, wharf transport, stages of processing, despatch and delivery. Vehicle processing and movements are recorded by radio frequency bar code scanners that provide "real" time updates of a vehicle's status. Special systems have been developed for handling bonded vehicles, fleet processing, vehicle preservation and inventory stocktake. The information system fully integrates both vehicle processing and vehicle transportation.

Client Interface

The client Interface is a key feature of our system. It provides the most recent status of all vehicles at each of our compounds. The VTS provides accurate and transparent exchange of information including transmissions of a vehicle status to the clients’ information system. It has the ability to store and process data according to specific requirements.

Specific Reports

A variety of reports are available through the VTS, providing information on vehicle receipts, vehicles on-hand, processing, allocations, despatches and much more. Vehicles can be easily located on the VTS by colour, trim, model, chassis, manufacturers ID (eg. case number, SIDO, domestic number), registration number, etc. The system also has the ability to produce ad-hoc reports to meet any special requirements.

Shipment and vehicle information can be read electronically from manufacturers' disks, CDs, emails or via a system to system interface.
