Making the most of winter: Prepare your business with ABAX
For some businesses, winter brings a natural slowdown, offering a perfect opportunity to catch up on tasks that often fall by the wayside during busier seasons. For others, it’s still full steam ahead, with cold weather adding extra challenges to already busy operations.
No matter where your business sits on this spectrum, ABAX has solutions to keep your tools, fleet, and equipment running efficiently while helping you get ahead for the year to come.
Use winter to get ahead
If your workload lightens during the winter, it’s the perfect time to tackle your admin and prepare for the year ahead. With ABAX’s tracking app, you can:
Name and categorise your tools: Build an organised digital inventory by naming and tagging your tools in the ABAX app. This makes them easier to locate and ensures you’re ready to hit the ground running in spring.
Set up geofences: Create virtual boundaries around storage areas or worksites. This will ensure you receive alerts if tools or equipment leave their designated zones, keeping your assets secure.
Schedule maintenance alerts: Use downtime to review and plan maintenance for tools, vehicles, and machinery. ABAX makes it easy to track service intervals and usage to prevent issues when you’re busiest.
For those facing a busy winter
If winter remains one of your busiest periods, ABAX’s solutions are designed to support you through the challenges of the season:
Reliable in cold climates: ABAX trackers are engineered for Scandinavian winters, so you can trust them to perform in the UK’s frostiest conditions. From freezing temperatures to heavy rain, your tools, vehicles, and equipment will stay visible and operational.
Real-time insights: Whether you’re managing multiple job sites or trying to keep your fleet on schedule, ABAX provides location data on tools, vehicle performance, and equipment usage. This ensures you’re always in control, even in tough weather.
Save time on admin: Automate mileage logs, service schedules, and tool tracking to reduce your workload and keep your team focused on the tasks that matter most.
Keep your mileage records HMRC-compliant
