New solution for stolen vehicle and plant recovery

Enigma Vehicle Systems PLC launch Skyline 999 system, a new solution for the recovery of stolen vehicles and construction plant.

Encapsulating the knowledge gained from over 17 years' experience in this market, Skyline 999 complements Enigma's successful Skyline advanced GPS tracking and telematics system and provides several features and a level of user interaction not previously available in stolen vehicle and plant recovery systems of this type.

Supported by flexible purchase plans, Skyline 999 is a compact package suitable for use on all vehicles or construction plant and incorporates a power management system for increased battery life.

Unlike other comparable asset protection systems, Skyline 999 provides users with visibility of their vehicles and plant through Enigma's on-line interface.

In addition, Skyline 999 provides twice daily location updates to give users peace of mind that the system is working and can send alarm alerts by email or SMS.

The system offers the additional benefit of a 24/7 bureau monitoring service and a log download option for accident analysis, checking speeding offences and so on.

The system also has the advantage of being easily upgraded to a full Skyline system where enhanced security features and fleet management are required.

Skyline 999 from Enigma is the latest product from a company that started business in 1992 in answer to a growing market demand for solutions to combat a high level of vehicle and construction plant theft.

The company's goal was simple: to provide market leading products and services and thus reduce vehicle and plant theft.

At that time, tracking, for stolen vehicle recovery, was in its infancy and the technology was used to provide additional layers of security for more traditional products such as immobilisers and alarms.

Throughout the decade, Enigma grew with an expanding base of customers, of all sizes, who turned to the company for advice and products to improve their security.

Enigma's expertise and service expanded with a national, mobile engineering team, 24 hour service, ISO 9002 and Vehicle Security Installation Board (VSIB) accreditation.

During this time, Enigma worked closely with operators, Security Consultants, Police, Insurers and the VSIB.

The company continues to value and develop these relationships today.

In 2004, Enigma made a major advance, when the company commissioned the Skyline advanced vehicle tracking and security system.

The intention was to offer a world class security, tracking and fleet management system with the flexibility to use products appropriate for the application.

Skyline has become one of the market leading systems for the vehicle fleet, construction, utility and plant rental industries.

In the area of stolen plant, in particular, Skyline has been so successful that, to the end of 2007, over GBP42 million of plant had been recovered using Skyline.

Growth, both in the UK and Worldwide has been rapid with partners in Latin America, Europe, Africa and a new subsidiary, based in Dubai, UAE, serving the Middle East region.

With over 20,000 vehicles monitored and close to 1,000 customers enjoying the benefits of Skyline, Enigma Vehicle Systems can be regarded as one of the leading businesses in the remote asset management field.

The business has doubled in size each year as customers recognise the value of Skyline, Enigma or one of the company's global partners.

Going forward, Enigma is investing heavily in new technologies to provide greater control and information over remote assets.

These technologies include satellite communications, active and passive RFID tagging, personal/portable tracking and improved data analysis modules.

The latest version 6.1 of Skyline continues to evolve and has the flexibility needed to support these new technologies, providing new products and applications for customers.
