Load / Vehicle Tracking
All vehicles are tracked and monitored through our Hawkeye application. EDI transfers between our Enterprise-wide Logistics ERP system, Hawkeye and In-cab mobile terminals, plus driver checks ensure jobs are allocated to the correct vehicle. This means at any time, we are able to track where a vehicle is and in turn track what load it is transporting.
Load / Vehicle Tracking is also available through an easy to access and use customer Web Portal and an Apple iOS (iPhone/ iPad) application. The online convenience of the Web Portal and iOS application will assist customers in tracking loads in real time.
Infrastructure
Supporting all our technology solutions is a modern and secure infrastructure platform. Our cloud environment is hosted in a secure data centre and ensures each user operates on a virtual desktop, which allows access from anywhere through many devices (PC and /or Mobile). All sites are connected through our Managed Wide Area Network (WAN), with our larger sites having full wireless connectivity with mobile network redundancy in the event that our primary network link fails.
Disaster Recovery (DR) systems and procedures are in place including secondary site infrastructure, full back up rotations with offsite tape storage and virtualised server technology. The IT team, following ITIL principles, provide the necessary service and support through automated performance monitoring to ensure Cameron IT runs reliably and efficiently.
