Managing a modern vehicle fleet is complex. Beyond your core assets, you often rely on subcontractors, short-term rentals, and even employees using their own cars (the “grey fleet”). How do you maintain safety standards, ensure compliance, and track assets when they aren’t permanently part of your fleet? The answer lies in a powerful, flexible solution: a portable In-Vehicle Monitoring System (IVMS).
Traditional hard-wired systems are excellent for permanent vehicles but fall short when you need adaptability. This is where the DigiCore Nomad, a revolutionary plug-and-play portable IVMS, transforms fleet management.
The Challenge: Managing a Non-Permanent Fleet
Fleet managers face a unique set of challenges when dealing with temporary vehicles. Standard procedures for installation and monitoring simply aren’t practical.
- Subcontractor Vehicles: You have a duty of care to ensure all workers on your site are safe, but you can’t install permanent hardware in a vehicle you don’t own.
- Rental Equipment and Vehicles: When you hire a truck, generator, or light vehicle for a short-term project, you need to monitor its usage, location, and safety without a costly or time-consuming installation.
- Grey Fleets: When employees use their personal vehicles for work, you still need to ensure safe driving behaviour and have a way to verify location for work purposes, but a permanent installation is invasive and impractical.
Introducing the DigiCore Nomad: Your Plug-and-Play Solution
The DigiCore Nomad is a self-contained, robust, and portable IVMS designed specifically for these challenges. It requires no hard-wiring or technical installation. Simply plug it into a standard 12/24V cigarette lighter socket, place it on the dashboard, and it’s active.
This “plug and play” functionality means you can deploy a comprehensive IVMS in any vehicle in seconds, making it the ultimate tool for dynamic fleet environments.
Key Features of the Nomad Portable IVMS:
- True Portability: Easily transfer the device between cars, trucks, and machinery as your operational needs change.
- Self-Powered: With a long-life internal battery, the Nomad continues to operate even when a vehicle is turned off or if it needs to be used in equipment without a power source.
- Real-Time GPS Tracking: Always know the precise location of your temporary assets and personnel.
- Comprehensive Driver Behaviour Monitoring: The system monitors and reports on harsh acceleration, braking, cornering, and speeding to encourage safer driving habits.
- Critical Safety Features: The Nomad is equipped with a highly visible duress/panic button, rollover detection, and impact detection, providing an immediate alert in an emergency.
Integrating the DigiCore Nomad into your operations delivers immediate and measurable benefits that go straight to your bottom line and safety record.
