HIGHWAYS
APD supplies solutions to both commercial and government organisations for highways management and maintenance. We understand the need for solutions that match the process flows in this sector and which maximise the IT investments already made in the organisation. The highways sector is a highly competitive one, with tight margins; APD's tracking and mobile solutions make a real difference in reducing operational costs and helping meet Service Level Agreements.

APD's Benefits
APD Resource Location allows you to cut costs through effective route and activity analysis. It provides an accurate proof of service delivery record, and offers your staff a level of safety and security that would not otherwise be possible with traditional voice communications. In addition, you can dramatically reduce engineer response times in emergency situations through location-based job despatch.
Automated job despatch reduces the time your workforce spends in the depot – time that can now be spent on customer sites. Eliminating the need to re-key paperwork by inputting directly into the database not only cuts costs and increases accuracy, but allows you the opportunity to make day-to-day management decisions based on real-time information. Your business is more agile and responsive to customer needs.
Our systems are easily configurable to fit the way you work and integrate with in-house or market-leading work scheduling systems, allowing optimum routing for faster response.
Case Study
One of the First Early Adopters of Mobile Data in the UK Construction Industry
Providing services such as gully cleansing, road gritting and emergency response teams requires an incredible amount of organisation. Responding to emergency situations demands instantaneous knowledge of your fleet's whereabouts at all times, and analogue radio systems are often slow and unreliable. In addition, the incredible paper trail required to fulfill the legal reporting requirements on the contracts is cost and time-prohibitive. Something needed to be done.
"The choice to use APD was an obvious one, we needed a supplier whose vision went beyond logistics and could work with us to provide mobile data functionality as well as location."
