1. Reducing operating costs -

• Help reduce your damage costs by making sure that your forklifts are only operated by properly trained and authorised drivers.
• You decide who can use which forklifts, and you can easily update this directly from your computer.
• Controlling access will reduce damage to your forklifts, infrastructure, equipment and most importantly, the goods you are moving. You can also monitor and record truck impacts.
• See the 'who, what, when and where' of all forklift impacts and make informed decisions about how to reduce them.
• Driver training can be directed to where it is most needed and 'problem' machines can be easily identified and moved to a more suitable operating environment or replaced by a more appropriate forklifts.

Together, these simple but effective controls reduce operating costs, improve knowledge and bring visibility and accountability to your operations.

2. Improving safety -

• Controlling access to forklifts and monitoring forklift impacts will also help to reduce accidents and may also improve safety in the workplace.
• Reduce not only the financial costs - more importantly, help to eliminate the human cost of accidents.
• Use the access control function to remotely 'lock-out' any forklifts that have a known safety problem until they are safe to operate again.

3. Increasing productivity -

• Monitoring forklifts utilisation provides an accurate picture of your activity and identifies under-utilised forklifts and bottlenecks in your operations.
• This could result in relocating some equipment, optimising the size of your core forklift fleet and managing peaks in activity through short-term rental.
• By constantly monitoring forklift usage and operating hours, maintenance can be accurately scheduled to prevent breakdowns, eliminate unnecessary servicing and improve forklift availability.
