Aldi were looking for a safer way to contact each vehicle on the road. They moved away from mobile phones to fixed cab phones. Previously, the transport office relied on contacting drivers via their mobile phones. This proved unreliable. When out and about in harsh conditions, the mobiles tended to get damaged easily, and if the drivers left their phone at the depot or the battery was low, contact was impossible.
The benefits are doesn’t matter who is driving, it’s the vehicle fixed cab phone you call. The phone is secured to the dash for safety and has permanent power from the vehicles ignition.
Challenges
As experts in the field of mobile communications, Handsfree came up with a very simple solution by installing cab phones inside each vehicle. Because the phones are fixed to the dash, there’s little chance of them being damaged or lost. What’s more, since the phones remain fully charged, communication with the transport office is now much more reliable.
Solution
The TECh fixed cab phones we installed are extremely robust, as well as simple to use, so drivers don’t have to worry about needless complexity. They can simply contact the office or other drivers at the touch of a button. Important numbers are preset into the system, so connection is quick as well as allowing the transport office to monitor outgoing calls.
Thanks again for all the great work carried out by Handsfree. It’s been a pleasure to deal with you and such an efficient and professional team.
