What
is Remote ?
It is a revolutionary new vehicle servicing
facility,
allowing companies and drivers to benefit
from a whole host of features. The service
is facilitated by the Remote telematics
unit which has QS9000 accreditation. |
| |
What
is telematics?
In its simplest definition it is "an
instrument that measures a quantity and signals
the results to a distant point" and can
vary from anything from a car radio picking
up an FM frequency to GPS satellite navigation.

What
are the benefits of Remote ?
For both companies and their drivers the key
ones are the pro-active notification of vehicle
services becoming due and the on-line automated
journey logging facility available exclusively
for drivers. |
| |
How
does it work?
The Remote unit is fitted with a SIM card
and via this Airmax receive fortnightly odometer
readings directly from the vehicle's engine
management system. This information is automatically
input into our fleet management software and
compared with the manufacturer's servicing
intervals to determine how soon the next service
is due.
From contact data supplied by the driver on
registering for Remote Airmax would advise
the driver 2 months or 2000 miles prior to
a service being due. With mapping screens
used by Airmax's fleet service controllers and
pre-determined driver preferences we would
notify the driver of the most convenient arrangement
for them i.e. home or office collection, courtesy
car facility, preferred garage, etc.
A simple authorisation reply to any text message
or fax, etc would be communicated to the driver
and relevant garage confirming the arrangement
booked, a process from start to finish that
need take no more than a few seconds to complete
!
By utilising 'STD Codes', as within any mobile
phone, it can record mileage events and journey
logs - albeit only for access by the driver
! |
| |
What
is an STD Code?
An 'STD Code' is telephone exchange code allocated
to all towns and regions in the UK, eg. London
has a code of (0207 and 0208) and Bristol
has a code of (0117). |
| |
Can
anybody access the driver's personal vehicle
records?
No. Only the driver has access to their driving
records; if they wish others to see journey
logs, etc they will have to grant authorisation
and pass on their password details. |
| |
Can
any cars benefit from Remote?
Yes as long as they are a supported model. Please use the 'Contact Us' page to let us know about you car. |
| |
Will
the Remote unit interfere with any of the
vehicle's controls?
No. The unit has been designed to "plug
and play" and has the advantage of not
being an interference fit with the vehicles'
systems. |
| |
Data
Protection?
The only data held by Airmax is the cumulative
mileage reading of the car upon which the
pro-active service notification depends.
Airmax Remote complies with the principles
of the UK Data Protection legislation. Personal
information supplied by you will only be used
for the purposes provided and will not be
passed to any third party without your prior
consent. |
