Products it offers includes the Active Track, a personnel-monitoring device, engineered to ensure that guards are awake, carrying out patrols correctly and assisted in emergencies. The company also offers the FPX10 mobile product designed to capture time and attendance. Data integrates into one’s payroll management system, resulting in reduced unwanted overtime and only paying for real hours worked.

Both devices boast GSM, GPS and RFID capabilities, panic functions and tamperproof design. There are no additional maintenance costs.

Both the Active Track and FPX10 devices are mobile. This is particularly important when it comes to the biometric clocking system, the FPX10. It has a battery life of up to three days, which enables it to be used on site where no power is available.

Active Track boasts a dedicated 24-hour support centre, equipped to provide assistance to both the Active Track and FPX10 users at any time of day.
