How do Charlie Solutions tools work?
The first product, which is at the origin of the creation of Charlie Solutions, is the association between a transmitter and a receiver that allows visibility of the entire fleet of equipment. We positioned the Charlie tracker in strategic areas of the warehouses where the equipment passes through, on the machines and containers, and then in parallel, we positioned the Charlie sensors on the portable equipment. The trackers will make it possible to obtain the GPS position of transit areas, and will automatically detect the sensors present around them and carry out inventories in real time. All this information is uploaded to a web platform and a mobile application.
The latest innovation is the Charlie Connect app, which can be installed on all of the company’s phones. It performs the same role as Charlie’s tracker, automatically, without requiring any action from the collaborator. Even with the app closed and the phone locked, Charlie Connect detects the equipment that is near the employee, in compliance with the GDPR. This allows you to create a professional network to locate all the equipment in the park.
What advantages does this have for companies?
The advantage of this tool is to limit the loss and theft of equipment, by being alerted in real time of its position. This also allows visualizing the use of the material: if a material is not used, the company will be able to put it back in the circuit and thus avoid unnecessary purchases. All of this has a positive impact on the management and budget of the equipment fleet.
Above all, we provide a vision of the compliance of the team. 16% of accidents at work in the construction industry are due to equipment in poor condition. With Charlie Connect, companies can set up alerts and ensure that the equipment used is compliant and up-to-date on its revisions. Employees can also view it on their phone and access all regulatory documents.
What are your differentiators in the equipment fleet monitoring market?
The rest of the solutions on the market offer either visibility of large equipment connecting to the battery, or management of portable equipment, but with technologies such as QR code or RFID, which require manual action by the user, which induces a risk of loss of reliability. .
Our Charlie Connect solution and trackers provide a complete view of the equipment fleet, with an offline and automated system, delivering unmatched reliability of results. And beyond geolocation, we help construction companies to secure their employees, which is one of their main challenges today.
