Our Team

What kind of team do we have?

We have a very diverse young team – the average age of our employees is 28 years.

As we work in more than one-half of the countries of the world, we speak as many as 15 languages in our offices: Lithuanian, Russian, English, Polish, Spanish, Arabic, German, French, Hindu, Urdu, Punjabi, Latvian, Dutch, Turkish and Italian. Our main communication languages are Lithuanian, English and Russian but we are always willing to learn new languages. We encounter not just different languages – it’s also different cultures, customs, traditions and religions.

How do we live?

• Food and drink. Work on an empty stomach will not be efficient. Therefore, our employees are always provided with food, snacks, coffee and freshly-pressed juice.
• Entertainment. Everybody needs breaks from work. We relax by playing table tennis, Xbox consoles, table games, sitting in a massage armchair, or simply by watching the life in a large fish tank.
• Health. We take care of our health – we have a modern gym which helps restore energy after a working day, and each employee is covered by health insurance.
• Travel. We travel a lot: every year we take part in several tens of international exhibitions and other events abroad.
• Development. We organise various training courses, invite guests from abroad, and permit employees to choose areas for the skills improvement.
• Transparency. We are for transparency in both working processes and working environment. Employees can view the accrued leave and bonuses/extra pay in an electronic system; and one can always wave to a colleague from another department in our modern open-plan office.

Vehicle Monitoring and Control

The real-time vehicle monitoring and control solution enables real-time tracking to provide complete visibility of vehicles. With the comprehensive information on the location, status and use of the vehicle, action can be taken to save time and money and to plan business better.

This software and hardware solution enables the monitoring and analysing almost all the parameters of the vehicle’s operation with the aim to increase productivity.

How does it work?

• GPS tracking equipment and accessories/sensors are installed in the vehicle.
• A web account is configured and prepared for accepting data from the GPS tracking equipment.
• The data collected by the GPS tracking equipment is sent to your web account, processed and presented for analysis.

Fuel Monitoring

The fuel monitoring solution is designed for the monitoring and optimisation of fuel costs. TrustTrack and GPS tracking equipment show the fuel level in the tank and the actual fuel consumption. This information can be viewed upon connection to the vehicle computer (CAN bus) or using the fuel level sensor.

The vehicle monitoring and control system generates detailed reports which will enable the monitoring of efficient use of fuel: the reports will identify the drivers that waste fuel by their driving style and which vehicles are inefficient.

The fuel monitoring solution shows when the vehicle was filled with fuel and allows detecting fuel thefts. In case of fuel theft from the tank the tracking system will give a warning via email or by SMS.

Digital fuel sensors measure fuel throughout the height of the tank, which helps to avoid blind areas and the measuring bias is only 3-4%. The solution is also suitable for very large fuel tanks.

 Applications:

• Assessing efficiency of vehicles
• Mapping out routes that require lowest fuel consumption
• Rating of drivers according to fuel efficiency
• Protection against thefts

Reading of On-Board Computer Data

The GPS tracking equipment and TrustTrack vehicle monitoring and control system enable direct monitoring of the data on the vehicle’s on-board computer. The advanced equipment collects the basic vehicle information – such as mileage, fuel level and costs, speed etc. and transmits it to the system.

The data can be read from over 100 light vehicles without any additional devices (without affecting vehicle warranty).

Data that is read:

• Speed
• Fuel level in the tank
• Fuel consumption
• RPM
• Autopilot status
• Mileage

Fuel Efficient Driving Solution

The purpose of the fuel efficient solution is to teach drivers to apply a fuel efficient and safe driving style and to cut the company’s operating costs.

Fuel efficient driving is a method of advanced driving, its main principles being economical and safe driving and sparing use of the vehicle and fuel, in this way reducing the impact on the environment and human health. This driving style aims at using the opportunities provided by modern vehicles to the largest extent possible.

Benefits of fuel efficient driving

Economic benefits – the driver following the warnings displayed on the fuel efficient driving panel can reduce fuel costs by up to 20% and minimise the vehicle servicing costs.

Environmental benefit – exhaust gas emissions and noise pollution are reduced.

Social benefit – improved driving skills and overall culture of driving on the roads.

Safety benefit – by driving in a fuel efficient manner, the drivers will be driving safer and the overall culture of driving on the roads will improve

Semi-Trailer and Refrigerated Vehicle Solutions

The transport management solutions can also be applied to trailers and semi-trailers including refrigerated semi-trailers. GPS tracking equipment is installed in trailers and, using the TrustTrack system, monitoring of the main vehicle and trailer parameters is possible.

Using the GPS tracking equipment designed specifically for semi-trailers including refrigerated semi-trailers, TrustTrack enables the monitoring also the status of ThermoKing, Optitemp and Carrier refrigerators.

The solution is very well suited for protecting cargoes, in particular when fast-spoiling goods are transported. Warnings about opening of the trailer door and changes in the trailer’s inner temperature will enable the driver to take action in due time and to protect the cargo.

Main functions:

• Temperature monitoring
• Trailer door opening monitoring
• Trailer positioning
• Monitoring the status of refrigerators

Remote Tachograph Reading

Remote tachograph reading is a solution that enables to read the tachograph and the driver card remotely and to send the data to TrustTrack system. The solution simplifies the working time accounting process as all the data is collected and the reports are generated automatically. This leads to the staff’s working time savings and the minimisation of the possibility of a data collection failure or data loss due to human error.

The data from the digital tachograph and the driver card is transmitted in the officially adopted .ddd format meeting the requirements of the National Road Transport Inspectorate. Furthermore, the solution enables the reading of driver card issued in other countries as well.

Convenience:

• Automated download of digital tachograph and driver card remotely
• Visual representation of data and analysis tools
• Simplified working time accounting process

Safety Solutions

Safety of the driver, the vehicle and the cargo is of vital importance. The value of the vehicle and the cargo can be very high, therefore, additional means of protection are indispensable.

Vehicle safety solutions include the GPS tracking device, TrustTrack vehicle tracking system, and accessories/sensors depending on the preferred level of protection.

Unforeseen events and faults

Monitoring of vehicle location and mechanisms: upon detecting an unforeseen deviation from the route or an error displayed by the on-board computer, the driver can be contacted to clarify the situation.

Driver identification

In order to ensure vehicle safety and good technical condition, it is important to know who and when was driving it and who was in charge of it. Driver identification is realised by means of special driver identification keys or cards.

Emergency management

In an emergency the driver may quickly send an alarm to the traffic control centre and the manager by pushing a button. In addition, in such situations it is possible to full block the vehicle’s engine remotely and to track the vehicle using the system.

Stationary Generator Monitoring

Stationary generators are equipped with large fuel tanks that are often targeted by thieves. Fuel monitoring is vitally important in order to ensure uninterrupted operation of the generator. The ability to monitor fuel consumption and fuel level in the tank means that a fuel theft will be noticed immediately so that action can be taken.

Any addition or theft of fuel is notified by SMS or via email or a warming is received in TrustTrack vehicle monitoring and control system. Constantly updated generator operating reports will enable a more efficient management of the available resources.

Transport management system

It is a solution that plans and optimises routes, allocates orders automatically, and enables real-time tracking of vehicles. The solution does not require large initial investments, flexibly adapts to most sophisticated business needs, and can be easily integrated into the solutions already used by your company.
