More fleet operators turning to pay-as-you-go vehicle tracking

More fleet operators – such as Canute Haulage Group PLC – are turning to pay-as-you-go vehicle tracking, says Quartix, one of the UK’s leading telematics suppliers.

The company, which offers its high-specification PAYG product alongside lease-finance and outright purchase options, says the rental model currently accounts for 50 per cent of overall sales.

Andy Kirk, sales and marketing director, said: “As a financially strong, long-established supplier we are in a position to provide the latest high-spec telematics features and cost-saving benefits through the flexibility of pay-as-you-go. This payment option guarantees customers the right to opt out at any time after the first three months plus the opportunity to add or remove tracking units as and when necessary.

“Quartix Pay As You Go has become extremely popular with large organisations, such as Canute Haulage Group PLC, as well as small and medium-size enterprises.”

Financial strength and technological expertise

Long-established, Quartix is one of the few telematics companies with the financial strength, stability and technological expertise to offer its customers pay-as-you-go.

Mr Kirk explained: “Unlike many of our competitors, we are able to fund and develop our own technology in-house and have no requirement to buy-in expensive third-party vehicle tracking units.

“This gives us total cost control, which in turn ensures our PAYG service remains competitive and completely sustainable – both now and in the long term.

“It also means we are in a strong position to adapt quickly to changing market requirements, whether technological or commercial, at any time.

“Certainly, with strong demand from all sectors, Quartix Pay As You Go has proved to be just the right product at just the right time.”
