SafeFleet’s SAFETRACK ensures your valuable or mission-critical equipment is on the vehicle and has not been left at the scene or is onboard when responding to a call. Designed specifically for accountability of assets by compartment, SafeTrack will provide immediate visual notification that a tagged asset is not located in the designated storage location. SafeTrack is extremely easy to implement on your new apparatus or retrofit an existing one. It mitigates the loss of expensive equipment; assists with missing equipment recovery, availability, and readiness; records the status, timestamp, and GPS location; and tracks multiple tagged equipment located in the same compartment. www.safefleet.net.
