Finning chooses MobileTrac for employee safety
CALGARY, June 15 /CNW/ - John Way, President of XS Technologies (XST) is pleased announce that Finning (Canada) is currently field-testing the MobileTrac GPS Asset Tracking System.
The MobileTrac system is under evaluation by Finning (Canada), a division of Finning International Inc., to address its concern about employee safety when they are working in remote locations or while traveling to and from customer and dealer sites. Finning's western operations has over 200 fleet service vehicles in the field at any given time. With the MobileTrac Cellular Digital Protocol Data (CDPD) system, employees can instantly report an emergency situation and have a response team dispatched to their precise location.
In addition, Finning is intent on more proactively protecting its heavy equipment and other valuable mobile assets. The company will look to this technology to meet its objective. MobileTrac enables companies such as Finning to remotely monitor their equipment with the click of a mouse and as a result, the system assists companies in reducing equipment losses due to theft. XST estimates that, in Western Canada alone, the heavy equipment tracking and security sales potential is in excess of $35 million.
The MobileTrac Asset and Tracking products use GPS along with cellular, radio or satellite equipment to protect and manage people, products and assets. MobileTrac systems offer up-to-the-minute location and status reports in the form of detailed daily logs or occasional reports. XST has been marketing MobileTrac since 1996 and has distribution contracts in Uruguay, Australia, Cote d'lvoire, Honduras, Bahamas and Taiwan worth over $8.2 million USD.
