We have recently launched a lite version of our gps tracking system for mobile phones. This will allow users to access their fleet information when they can’t get to a computer. The site should work on any mobile with a decent web browser and no extra downloads are required. Access is available at http://m.transpoco.net
This is a question that is frequently asked by our prospective clients and while it is common practice in the UK and US, it has yet to really take off with Irish Insurance companies.
At a very basic level vehicle tracking obviously offers an added security benefit should the vehicle ever be stolen, there is a much greater chance of retrieving it in one piece.
But at Transpoco we feel even more important than this is that installing vehicle tracking systems shows a willingness to manage your fleet in a safe and and more efficient manner.
Speeding, harsh braking and acceleration can be identified easily and eradicated. Also alerts on out of hours usage help monitor unnecessary / unauthorised activities should your employees take work vehicles home at the end of the day.
We are also lucky enough to have recently partnered with Heritage Insurance (www.hig.ie) who have vast experience in this area representing clients who are tracking their vehicles.
If you would like to know more please don’t heistate to contact us. www.transpoco.ie.
We are always interested in Tracking cool stuff. Over the last couple of years we have been lucky enough to track a few different people in races they have undertaken.
We started by tracking a great company based in Scotland, ukdvdr.co.uk to provide them with live tracking during the 2006 Cannonball 8000 event.
Cannonball 8000 is Europes premier non-professional rally event covering 5 countries in 72 hours and ukdvdr entered it to help a great charity, http://www.edinburghsickkids.org/
“UKDVDR may be an internet based company but we are in the real world when it comes to children. We wanted to do something to raise money for a needy Charity for a while now. Our directors were too squeamish to do sponsored parachute jumps. So, after much contemplation we have decided to enter the Cannonball Rally.”
I will try to get some more photos from the UKdvdr guys

We also sponsored them in their race in 2007 where they came in overall first place. Even though it’s technically a rally and not a race, everyone aims for high placings so they claimed the title of 2007 overall winners driving a Mercedes CLS320.
At the start of 2008 we tracked Gary Finlay and his team, “The sewing club” in their adventure to Timbuktu in 2007/2008 here are the full set of pictures
Maybe the M50 is not so bad
We are also currently sponsoring one of our clients, Barry Rabbit, he is racing in two disciplines. Firstly he is in the newly formed Irish Saloon car championship for a team. The car he is driving is a Honda Integra Type R, the team who own and run the car are in the car tuning business.
The other car he is driving is his own Formula Ford, a single seater racecar. He is competing in this in the Irish Formula Ford championship along with a number of high profile events in the UK.
For 2008 Barry has raced in 5 races, out of a planned 7, with a fantastic result of 1st place in four of the races and 4th in the other race.
Barry’s season was cut short due to a broken leg so we wish him all the best on his recovery.
Here is a video from inside the car from Barrys first race(and win) of the season…
Here are a picture of the car and a newspaper article about a race he won

We have launched a new site, www.progpstracking.com where we are selling a low cost vehicle tracker as a single user alternative to our fleet management product. This device is mainly used for security for vehicles and has no recurring fees. It is also possible to upgrade to live tracking from www.transpoco.com should your needs change.
Transpoco have teamed up with ukdvdr.co.uk to provide them with live tracking during this years Cannonball 8000 event.
Commencing on the 15th September 2006 in London, Cannonball 8000 is Europes premier non-professional rally event covering 5 countries in 72 hours.
Transpoco are proud to be supporting UKDVDR’s attempt to raise money for The Sick Kids Friends Foundation by participating in this event.

Gerry Kidd of Streetlink couriers has been using our GPS fleet management and vehicle tracking system for the past number of months and has commented very favourably on the system and the benefits it provides for his company. See Gerry’s comments below
“E-pire are responsible for providing the Transpoco vehicle tracking system to our company. Since its installation, we have found the system to be of enormous benefit to the company. It has greatly improved vehicle efficiency and has enabled the smooth running of our fleet. Andrew Fleury and his team are always on hand to provide any assistance or support should the need arise.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Transpoco to any company for an efficient and reliable GPS tracking service.”
