Case Studies
Helios Global Tracking's advanced technology continually averts crises for private individuals, corporations and governments. Here are a few examples:
Natural Disasters
The Problem:
A Category 5 hurricane hits a Caribbean island and all terrestrial communication is interrupted. No one knows when it will return. Residential security systems are not operating because the island's phone lines are damaged. This leaves all property on the island-both private and commercial-at the mercy of looters.
The Solution:
Helios Global Tracking can install a monitoring unit that connects to an existing alarm system on a residence or business. The monitoring unit does not rely on phone lines to communicate with security providers, and, thus, continues to operate and protect the home or business when the hurricane knocks out phone lines, power lines or communication towers. The property remains safe and secure and continues to have the ability to communicate with an emergency contact.
Private security teams working in remote locations
The Problem:
A team of security contractors in the Middle East are escorting a business person to meetings in a remote town outside the capital city. On their return, they are ambushed by armed aggressors that immobilize their vehicle. The team returns fire after taking some casualties. Communications are limited and the team commander needs assistance.
The Solution:
Helios Global Tracking can install a vehicle-mounted device. This device includes a panic button that when pressed, sends a message directly to an operations room or command post who can alert the proper authorities to mobilize a local armed response.
Haulage companies are losing money
The Problem:
A haulage company is losing money. The company's trucks have heavy fuel consumption and the company has inaccurate end-user billing and delayed deliveries because of poor asset location. These issues, coupled with rising insurance premiums and the current financial climate are crippling the business.
The Solution:
Helios Global Tracking can install a monitoring and management system to each of the company's vehicles. This system will enable the company to:
- Reduce the risk of theft and expedite vehicle/equipment recovery
- Lower fuel costs
- Manage fuel tax rebates and simplify fuel tax reporting
- Reduce idling and carbon emissions
- Improve customer service by timely reporting asset location
- Accurately schedule vehicle maintenance
- Reduce insurance premiums
- Better utilize vehicles and equipment
- Enhance workforce productivity
Commercial shippers need greater protection for their assets
The Problem:
Commercial ships are multi-million dollar assets that not only experience the everyday risks of operating on the open seas but also have an increasing threat of piracy and theft. Ship owners require constant tracking and security to safeguard their assets.
The Solution:
Helios Global Tracking can install a device on commercial boats that enables ship-to-shore messaging and constant monitoring of the boat's position. Thus, ship owners constantly know where their vessels are located.
