Affordable Vehicle Tracking for Car Rental and Leasing Companies

The public rent your cars. Most look after them and bring them back – some don’t. Every year, many rental vehicles are stolen or abandoned, so fitting a GPS tracker makes sense.

IVMS and Driver Resistance

  Installing IVMS/ GPS Tracking into a vehicle brings two potentially conflicting aspects into contact with each other: an individual’s need for privacy, and a company’s need to protect its drivers’ safety and its vehicles against abuse and unauthorised trips. Digicore has rolled out IVMS/ GPS Tracking into many businesses and onto many mine sites […]

IVMS and law enforcement – where should the line be drawn?

Simply put, IVMS is not police equipment. So what is the difference? Police equipment is highly calibrated and certified equipment that needs to stand up in a court of law on a single event, IVMS is simply not made for that. GPS (the heart of any IVMS system)  can be affected by a number natural factors […]

IVMS Compliance with No Lock in Contracts

Digicore does not believe in locking customers into contracts – nobody should have to pay for something they don’t want! Most of our competitors require their customers to sign up a period of 2 years and we think this is patently unfair. Circumstances change, and if our customers have their contracts cancelled on them, then we […]

Renting an IVMS unit

We sometimes get asked by our IVMS customers if they can rent units from us. We understand the difference between capex and opex and believe that we should give our customers this choice. The most common enquiry is for portable IVMS from subcontractors that win short-term mining contracts, but we also get enquiries for people […]

IVMS in difficult times – a good idea or not?

IVMS comes cheaper than what it used to, but it is still is an expense and, in difficult times, should this perhaps be cancelled or at least deferred? Definitely not! One of our major clients in Queensland turned their IVMS off when the coal price collapsed around 2010. No sooner had they done that when […]
