By GlobalData“Skamp deserves to be lauded for developing a vehicle security system which incorporates a suite of major operating features in one device incorporating vehicle security, driver and passenger security, telecommunications, mapping, pro-active routing, as well as full concierge service and Internet access.
Commenting on the award, Administrator of the ITM, Bridget Moncrieff, said: “I am delighted with the outcome of the Fleet Manager’s committee’s research and the decision to award Skamp with the “In-vehicle communications, security and tracking company 2000.” I have observed with much interest the progress of the research process and am fully in agreement that Skamp should be officially acknowledged for its role in progressing the status of the vehicle security and tracking sector by developing a system that exploits the advantages of satellite navigation and complex telematics for the benefit of the fleet management sector.
“In assessing the technological benefits of Skamp over its competitors, the awards committee highlighted the two-way communications features combined with the ‘geofencing’ capabilities of the unit as being of invaluable benefit for fleet management purposes.
“The Skamp’s competitive price benefits combined with the fleet efficiency benefits which ensue from better route navigation as well as the driver-assist features of the ‘Concierge’ service are an important element in its award success.
“In providing a 24-hour pro-active satellite and security system, 365 days a year, with the option of a ‘Concierge’ service, monitored by a multi-lingual Monitoring Service Centre, the Skamp unit is a revolutionary fleet management device.
The Awards committee is in no doubt that the Skamp unit which comes in a range of affordable options from the smallest Skamp Micro, to the Skamp Gateway, Skamp ProActive and Skamp Eva is a deserving recipient of the “In-vehicle communications, security and tracking company 2000.”
