Why TRACKER?

TRACKER has been leading the way in vehicle tracking and telematics since 1993.

We have fitted over one million market-leading security and award-winning fleet management systems to cars, motorcycles, HGVs, LCVs and plant & construction equipment.

Together with the police, we have recovered over £450 million worth of stolen vehicles and continue to recover, on average, £2 million worth of stolen vehicles every month.

Our unique relationship with all of the UK's Police forces

TRACKER is the ONLY stolen vehicle recovery system operated by all police forces across the UK. With over 1,700 police patrol cars and 30 helicopters across the UK fitted with TRACKER's detection equipment, the chances of recovering your stolen vehicle are greatly improved.

TRACKER is part of a global stolen vehicle recovery community

The underlying VHF technology is in use in 30 countries throughout the world and to date is responsible for over 250,000 recoveries of stolen vehicles worth $5billion (USD).

Winners of the 2009 Van Fleet World Honours "Security" Award

Chairman of Judges George Emmerson

"The TRACKER name stands head and shoulders above its industry rivals and by providing a consistently high quality service to its many clients, TRACKER has established an enviable reputation in the fleet industry. The only SVR system operated by all 52 UK police forces, TRACKER is regularly praised by police, public and van fleet operators alike."

Van Fleet World editor John Kendall

"TRACKER uses a VHF transmitter hidden in the vehicle, which has a number of advantages over GPS-based systems, which can be jammed by car thieves using relatively cheap devices. Besides the regular stories about specific vehicle recoveries supplied to the press by TRACKER, the fact that TRACKER has contributed to the recovery of assets totalling more than £450 million and led to more than 1,800 arrests is a testament to the effectiveness of the system. These statistics speak volumes and give fleet managers confidence that TRACKER will protect their vans at all times."

Combating Emerging Threats - GPS jammers

Unlike GPS/GSM tracking solutions, TRACKER's VHF technology is helping in the war against 'jamming'. Jamming is a technique used by thieves across Europe to block a satellite signal to a GPS receiver, or prevent GSM-based communication with the tracking device, making it impossible to trace a stolen vehicle.

The VHF systems TRACKER operates are immune to GPS/GSM jammers offering vehicle owners an effective safeguard against this form of attack.

Association of Chief Police Officers Confirms its Confidence

TRACKER prides itself on the fact that it is the first vehicle tracking systems provider to be adopted by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) and is now the only tracking system accredited by ACPO through its 'Secured by Design' initiative. The accreditation aims to encourage industry to adopt crime measures in the development and design of products and services to assist in reducing the opportunity for crime.

Alan McInnes, General Manager ACPO Secured by Design

"Secured by Design accreditation is only given to products that have a proven record as effective security technology. TRACKER has achieved this consistently and we are pleased to provide TRACKER and the public with a recognisable mark of that achievement."

Our secure financial position

In 2005, TRACKER became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Insurance division of the Royal Bank of Scotland Group. With the backing of a major international banking group behind us, you can rest assured we're here for the long term.

Sadly, there are many companies in the UK vehicle tracking market that can't be relied upon; the last few years has seen several companies cease trading, sometimes leaving their customers tied in to expensive financial agreements for services no longer being delivered.

Robust back office support

Our systems are designed and maintained to the highest possible standard, providing off-site backup and disaster recovery, leaving you safe in the knowledge that your vehicle and data are in safe hands.
