Asset Monitoring Solutions Group (UK) Ltd (AMS) was formed in 2009. Its products include vehicle tracking, job management and personal tracking devices. They trade in the UK and throughout mainland Europe.

AMS vehicle tracking technology provides businesses with real-time data on vehicle and asset location. Their customers include the British Red Cross and Northern Water, and small to medium sized businesses.

Products and Features

AMS offer a range of vehicle tracking products from simple tracking solutions through to complete fleet tracking packages. The full product range includes Fleet Manager, Fleet Manager Lite, Site Manager, Site Manager Plus, Trailer Track, and Tracking Locator.

Fleet Manager OBD II

Fleet Manager OBD II is a simple tracking unit that uses quad band/GPRS/GPS. It provides asset monitoring and real time vehicle data. You can install it as a stand-alone unit or as a professional driver aid that provides performance data to the driver. The driver aid supports RFID driver tags.

AMS Fleet Manager

The AMS Fleet Manager is the company’s most advanced device. It provides a wide range of functions including:

• Vehicle immobilisation
• Driver Identification
• Temperature monitoring

It can be integrated with Garmin sat nav and vehicle proprietary systems. It is ideally suited for larger fleets of 30 or more vehicles. Additional features include:

• Reduction of unnecessary idle time to reduce fuel bill and emissions
• Improved routing and fleet utilisation
• In cab driver performance feedback
• Private mileage monitoring compliant with HMRC requirements

Fleet Manager Lite

Fleet Manager Lite is a scaled down version Fleet Manager. While providing the same tracking functionality, unnecessary interfacing options aren’t included. The result is a powerful tracking solution but at a lower cost.

Trailer Track

Trailer Track is designed to provide a cost effective solution for tracking trailers and valuable assets. It uses the same technology as the more sophisticated tracking solutions. The small, discreet device can be externally or internally powered. It can be configured for simple daily polling for monitoring fleet distribution or can be used for full live tracking.

Verdict

AMS fleet management and asset tracking solutions provide a simple yet effective solution for small to medium sized fleets. The products range from low cost basic implementations through to fully featured solutions.

For a fleet manager seeking a solution tailored to their requirements only, this system is worth looking at. AMS claim that the scaled-down Fleet Manager Lite system can pay for itself within a year. Trailer Track is also an attractive solution for monitoring your valuable mobile assets.
