“Following popular demand, we are glad to offer a vehicle tracking system for farm and estate machinery to protect them from thefts,” said a spokesperson from TRAAKiT, smart asset security solutions.

When asked about the GPS tracking for farm equipment he said, “The TRAAKiT GPS tracking device is the answer to safeguard farm and estate assets while monitoring their actual locations. You can use the tracking system to protect a whole range of machinery and equipment which includes but not limited to tractors, diggers, harvesters, trailers, horse boxes and just about any piece of farm machinery.”

Asked how the tracking system works he said, “Unlike other vehicle tracking systems, TRAAKiT is relatively very simple and easy to use; you put the TRAAKiT tracking system unit in a discrete place on the machine or equipment and the system monitors its location through an online mapping tool that comes as part of the tracking system. What makes it great is that it can be accessed from anywhere in the world with no software downloads needed, just a simple and secure access.

If the vehicle or equipment is missing, we will be alerted via email or a text message. Also, the TRAAKiT monitor and service can be transferred to another piece of equipment at no extra charge. In fact, we don’t even have to be told about it.”

The spokesperson further said, “In the present economic climate, people are desperate and although stealing farm machinery and equipment is nothing new, farmers can now have some peace of mind when using a tracking device in an attempt to curb the thefts.

Effective immediately, ResQ Track & Trace will be known and carry on business internationally as ResQ Mobile Services, according to Chad Hughes, ResQ founder and president. After operating in Canada for four years, and establishing many critical strategic relationships, the company recently began an expansion plan to acquire marketshare in the US. “When we launched in 2005, we were tracking vehicles exclusively,” Hughes explains. “The company has grown a lot since then and, based on demand in the marketplace, we thought it was the right time for a name change and one that reflected the realities of our evolving customer base.”

ResQ currently offers an end-to-end asset management and communication system for the transportation and logistics industries, and last month introduced a new product called Trackberry™ for smartphone users. Historically, ResQ has sold an integrated system to fleet managers to effectively monitor their assets in real-time and access numerous reports online. “We’ve been asked to track temperature changes within refrigerated containers, media screens within transit shelters and lightbulbs within industrial developments,” Hughes continues. “We can do all those things, and more, but people still think we only track trucks.”

ResQ introduced Trackberry™, which is downloaded and installed onto any GPS-enabled device, to track mobile employees. The application relays at regular intervals its location that is conveyed to users through a secure web portal. This is currently an enterprise solution enabling employers to track sales and service personnel in the field and acquire automatically a record of their activities. A stripped-down version for consumers, Findr™, will be released shortly to enable parents to track their wandering teenagers, young children and in fact parents of parents.

ResQ offers real-time asset management systems using GPS technology to enhance mobile communications and wireless business processes. After deploying a ResQ system, our clients obtain the tools they need to attain measurable results and the necessary data for efficient management of their resources and customers. ResQ delivers industry leading applications for location tracking, identification, security and workforce management. With a national footprint and expanding offices servicing markets across North America, ResQ mobile asset management systems support the transportation, logistics and service industries.

Purely Webstores, the UK based e-tailer, have expanded its product offer, despite the economic climate.  Car audio equipment, and a much enhanced range of marine electronics have been added due to public demand.

At the end of last year, Purely Webstores had been concentrating on satellite navigation and Global Positioning Systems.  These included major names in car sat navs such as TomTom, Navman and Magellan as well as more niche products like Racelogic PerformanceBox and DriftBox  car performance equipment, Road Angel speed camera detection equipment and SPOT personal Satellite trackers.

By including the Garmin Range of sat navs and GPS units, sports watches, cycling gps units and marine units such as hand held GPS’ and multi function devices like marine gps /chart plotters/ fishfinders/depth sounders.

“We were pleased and amazed to see the interest in the  marine products”  Darren Stokes, a Director and co-founder of Purelywebstores said.  “We were also being asked for car audio equipment makes, like JVC, Sony, Kenwood and Pioneer.  Well; enough people asked us, so here we are with all those makes as well as adding Raymarine products.”

Raymarine products have added significantly to the range.  Raymarine was formed by a management buyout of Raytheon Recreational Marine Division in 2001, and now produce an extensive selection of sophisticated marine electronics spanning compact and handheld VHS radios to multi function display units for GPS, chartplotter, fishfinder and Radar.

The audio units are also selling well.  With units ranging from the Kenwood KDC-241 SA CD Receiver, through  CD auto-changers to  multi units like the  JVC KW-NX7000 Navigation/DVD/CD/USB/SD Receiver (which not only provides in-car entertainment but is also a fixed in-car sat nav system), this part of the business is expanding rapidly.

“There is method in our madness,” Darren admits, “convergent technology means that, where we started with GPS and sat navs, these functions are now available with other products as wide ranging as car audio equipment and fishfinders.  Our customers like our quick, reliable and safe service, so we will continue to offer more, related products.”

And that safe and reliable service is something that Purely Webstores has had from the start.  Darren and his co-director, Mark Charleton started up Blue Solutions Ltd, one of the first e-commerce software distributors, more than 12 years ago and brought the philosophy into Purely Webstores when they started it up.

“In the early days of Blue Solutions, carrying out financial transactions, like taking credit cards payment, over the web were pretty scary for both us and our trade customers.  Now, of course, people are a lot more used to it, but some consumers are a bit nervous, a bit like the trade 10years ago.”  Darren explained.  “But being an accredited retailer of ISIS and IDIS, gives our customers the reassurance that they are dealing with a reputable company”.

With the ethos of providing the customer with what they want, safely and securely, at competitive prices, Purely Webstores should be a company to watch!
