Vehicle and Cargo Monitoring (GPS and RFID)

Absolute provides wireless technology solutions for the transportation and logistics sector. We offer a full range of products including:

• GPS Tracking
• Integrated RFID Scanning
• Remote monitoring (SCADA)
• Dispatch/Scheduling solutions

Wireless connectivity is offered via satellite, over cellular or on private radio networks.

Absolute also offers something more unique - the ability to combine these technologies across regions, asset types and wireless networks. If you have Fuel Delivery trucks in Europe, Oil Platforms in Asia and personnel security requirements in South America, we have the technology and expertise to build a true global monitoring capability for your organization.

All Absolute's products offer sophisticated automatic analysis and alerting - with the ability to link these notifications to wherever the data is needed within an enterprise. We provide gateways to ERP solutions and many of our clients also operate in-house or 3rd party scheduling, dispatch or billing systems in conjunction with Absolute's products.

Each Enterprise Logistics project by Absolute is built to custom client specifications. We work with logistics, security and information technology managers to develop detailed project specifications. Once we fully understand the project requirements we work to identify the best combination of hardware, wireless technologies and software.

We are proud to announce the release of our latest vehicle management platform. The Fleet Information System is a secure application with modules for registering and tracking mobile assets, GPS and RFID tracking, dispatching and routing and generating reports; all operating within a state-of-the-art Web 2.0 application.
