Balfour Beatty Infrastructure Services

As Nigel Gibbons, Operational Systems Manager of Balfour Beatty Infrastructure Services, explains: "Clearly, the key benefit of the solution is that it provides a way of checking 100 per cent of routes with no potential for human error. Because the software can process data in a matter of minutes, we can carry out verification almost immediately. In extreme conditions, we can monitor our winter fleet in real-time from our 24/7 network control centres, meaning we can direct operations according to the weather conditions. The programming of our vehicles has really improved the quality of drive route data, and so we now have unambiguous records of operations."

"APD's CORTEX system will become a key part of our communication infrastructure. Working with APD will allow us to further streamline our processes, while offering customers and our airline partners the very best service possible."

"The flexibility of CORTEX will allow us to cost effectively leverage our existing infrastructure whilst meeting our needs today and in the future. We anticipate that this agreement will be the beginning of a successful long-term relationship between the Emirates Group and APD."

Hampshire Constabulary

Airwave Project Manager, Hampshire Constabulary comments, "The INCA functionality appeared to be greater than that of other vehicle location products. Once the vehicle installation is complete, we intend to include other resources such as foot and cycle patrol officers in the project as the GPS functionality is available in their radios."

Wayne Doman, Head of Development Systems at May Gurney commented, "I am very pleased with APD's mobile information solution. We are working more efficiently and are delivering a better quality of service. We can now provide our customers with clear status reports on the progress of jobs. And the savings we can make across the organisation can be passed on to the customers, allowing us to stay competitive in the market."

Mouchel Parkman

Gareth Griffths, Senior Business Partner, Mouchel Parkman, says: "The ability to track the status of the maintenance vehicles and to communicate directly with our field engineers has meant that jobs are assigned much more efficiently and we are seeing significant time savings as a result. These time savings have allowed for proactive use of resource within the business which means that our workers are meeting more targets and our overall objective to improve journey times is being met."

North Ayshire Council

"The electronic job despatch solution from APD has gone down very well with operatives," says Karen Sillars, Head of Building Services at North Ayrshire. "It makes their lives easier and allows them to get on with the repairs and improvements that are so essential in the area. The system is so user friendly that they required little training before getting on with the job, and the Service is keen to see the solution rolled out to additional operatives. From the council's point of view, our operatives are out in the field for a much greater proportion of their time, which makes us much more effective and efficient."

Royal Swedish Police

Superintendent Mats Dahl, Royal Swedish Police said, "I am happy with the new system. It was important for us to find a solution that could be easily integrated due to the time restrictions involved in bringing the control room system software in line with the TETRA infrastructure. APD had the best capability."
