Each market page describes where a deployment there usually starts and what software cannot solve.
Manufacturing plant
At a manufacturing plant, delivery traffic comes in from outside, the plant’s own workforce and service contractors work inside, and over all of it hangs the customer audit, which asks about inductions and records. The plant usually needs answers to three questions at once: who is on site, whether the driver has completed the induction, and how many hours the shift has worked.
Logistics centre and warehouse
In a logistics centre everything comes down to the dock and the time. With a dozen or more bays and dozens of carriers, the day breaks up into phone calls that all say the same thing. A deployment here starts with delivery booking and is finished when the logistics team stops taking those calls.
Logistics park with tenants
A logistics park has one gate and several companies behind it, each with a number of parking spaces paid for under its contract. TraxSystem enforces that limit at the gate: when a tenant’s allocation is full, the barrier does not go up. There are two admission modes to choose from: booked vehicles only, or all vehicles, with the exit opened by a person.
Plant with a railway siding
At a plant with a siding, half the raw material arrives by rail and ends up in a spreadsheet, because yard management systems stop at the gate for road vehicles. TraxSystem wins here by keeping wagons and trucks in one log.
Site under physical security
On a site under physical security, TraxSystem handles patrols, the duty log, incidents and lone-working post check-ins. It is bought by plants that employ their own security staff, or by the security company running the contract. The trigger is most often a customer inspection or a tender requirement.
Hotel, guesthouse, accommodation
A guesthouse guest arrives after hours, and reception closed at six in the evening. A stay booked in TraxSystem opens the barrier for the guest’s number plate, the car park barrier and the room door with a code sent by SMS, and on the day of check-out it all stops working by itself.
This is a market we are only now opening: the mechanism works, but we do not yet have a hotel deployment, and we say so openly.
Who TraxSystem is not for
TraxSystem is not a warehouse management system: it handles the point where the warehouse meets vehicle traffic, but it does not keep stock levels, locations or picking. Nor is it a tool for fleets on the road, because location tracking works only within the plant’s premises. It does not replace an HR and payroll system or CCTV. It makes no sense on a site with no infrastructure at all: without cameras, barriers and readers, all that remains is records kept by hand.
