TomTom Work CORGI Affiliation

TomTom have recently secured a deal with CORGI to assimilate our brands and add value to their membership offering with a TomTom WORK special offer:

Until 31 Dec 2007, when quoting their membership number at point of enquiry we can offer a saving on the TomTom WORK solution.

Launched at Installer LIVE 2007 in September at the Ricoh Arena, this is a reduction in the hardware price until 31st December 2007 to CORGI members.

 

The system combines vehicle navigation with tracking, planning and communication
functions, allowing operators to manage their fleet more effectively and connect with
drivers in the field.

Key features of the system include real-time maps and a web-based connection to the
TomTom Webfleet vehicle management and communication service, which allows users
to send client orders, navigational co-ordinates and traffic reports via an office PC.

Ian Pearson, GP Fleet Solutions Director, said, ‘The TomTom system allows you to send
details, delivery/collection or service direct, so the driver doesn’t have to input details.
It saves paperwork, keeps drivers out of traffic jams and improves productivity. More importantly, workers will be on time for their appointments, meaning more satisfied
customers.’

HGV fleet users can also benefit from information about road restrictions, including low
bridges, and request daily reports detailing driver hours and break times in order to
satisfy working time directives.

The product is targeted at anyone who operates three or more commercial vans, HGVs
or LGVs, and is ideally suited to key commercial sectors including service and maintenance, transport and logistics, and delivery and distribution.

No specialist software or IT equipment is required, and the system is fully bluetooth
enabled, meaning no expensive car kit is required. A customer login is also available,
allowing customers to track a vehicle online.
