First, it has recovered more cars than anyone else, and second, has a range of products that will ensure that you are no longer afraid to venture out on the road, thirdly their technology is far superior to other available on the market. Matrix Vehicle Tracking offers a selection of three consumer units, and one fleet unit that will both suit your needs as well as your pocket. Furthermore they rely on designated recovery teams firstly, and assistance from the South African Police Service to recover vehicles.

Time is crucial when there is an emergency. Matrix FastTrac can help by allowing Matrix Vehicle Tracking to position a stolen car within thirty seconds. This remarkable feat is achieved using the comprehensive mobile phone network. Matrix has the added benefit of being able to track stationary vehicles unlike other tracking solutions.

Matrix has the technology to find vehicles that have been placed in underground parking. No car is invisible to their vehicle tracking X-Ray Vision. Matrix use of the SA mobile networks, and other technologies, allows them to triangulate a vehicle?s position, even if it is parked underground.

The most basic unit is the MX1, which is designed primarily as a theft recovery unit. If a vehicle is stolen, a call must be made to Matrix Vehicle Tracking?s National Operations Control Room and Matrix Vehicle Tracking will immediately activate the unit and begin the tracking and recovery process.

The MX2 is slightly more sophisticated unit which includes an ignition tamper alarm (a distress signal is sent when the car is started by an unauthorised person) as well as a battery tamper alarm (a signal is sent if someone attempts to disconnect the MX2 unit). A panic button is also provided for situations where your safety is being threatened.

The MX3 unit offers additional functions such as GeoLoc, NoGo Zones, Crash Alert with Roadside Assistance, Logbook, Cell Phone Positioning and Service Notification. Matrix Vehicle Tracking was the first to introduce Crash Alert with Roadside Assistance in conjunction with International SOS (ISOS). GeoLoc allows you to lock the position of your vehicle per cell phone or remote control, while NoGo Zones are areas you do not want yourself or your vehicle to enter. The Matrix Vehicle Tracking Control Room receives an alarm as soon as your vehicle moves towards one of these zones, or high-risk areas, and a recover team is immediately dispatched.

Crash Alert, in partnership with International SOS is a fantastic optional extra to customers using the MX3 unit and those who have the interest of their families at heart would not think twice about installing this unit. In the event of a serious accident, qualified and experienced medical personnel are dispatched to your location. The signal is automatically sent to Matrix Vehicle Tracking Control Room and ISOS for immediate dispatch of medical assistance.

ISOS has medical personnel consisting of paramedics, doctors and councillors who are on call 24 hours a day, so you can rest assured that you will get the best care available.

If it is Roadside Assistance that is needed, ISOS is able to take care of anything from something as basic as replacing a flat tyre or dead battery, to arranging towing and hotel accommodation and even a rental vehicle.
