HRIA Member recovers stolen equipment worth over $50,000 using Pinpoint Advanced
Vehicle Manager (AVM)
During the recent HRIA Convention a member visited the Pinpoint Communications stand
and asked to log onto their AVM GPS tracking system to investigate the location
of a Bobcat that they suspected had been stolen by the use of identity fraud. Unable
to contact the hirer they used the Pinpoint AVM GPS system to quickly identify the
location of the Asset and sent branch staff to recover the unit.
By using the Pinpoint AVM system the customer was able to recover the asset and
prevent the loss of revenue and/or the asset itself.
The next day! The same member contacted Pinpoint, with a report that a generator
had just been reported stolen off a customer site overnight.
After logging onto the Pinpoint AVM system they immediately saw an ‘outside hours’
alarm for the Generator, recording that it had been moved at 00:45. The GPS had
tracked the equipment to a residential house. Later that morning Police and a branch
representative drove by the house and were able to identify the generator parked
in a garage.
The Generator had already had the company decals stripped and was being prepared
for re-birthing. Subsequent to the recovery of the generator, Police have arrested
a suspect.
The HRIA member has requested anonymity as a way of keeping one step ahead of would
be thieves of their equipment, and was prepared to offer the following quote:
the Pinpoint AVM system has proved invaluable in recovering over $50,000 worth
of equipment in just two days. The stolen equipment is now back on the customer
site keeping our customer happy and earning us revenue. The saving delivered by
the AVM system has justified the investment in the Pinpoint system many times over
