Brief Description. 
The LinQ system brings technologies which were only previously available to large corporations through a custom designed solution to a mass market at an affordable price. The LinQ Server System offers true flexibility and functionality to small to medium sized logistics businesses, or to a business that has any process involving the delivery and/or collection of products/services to customers.
The system operates by integrating many traditionally paper based activities into one central system, which is accessible from anywhere, on any device. The system tracks progress of orders and deliveries, and can also be set to monitor a driver’s location and how much fuel their vehicle is using.
The System Structure.
The LinQ Enterprise server is made up of three main components:
-
LinQ Enterprise
Server
- The LinQ Enterprise server holds all the key information about your company, clients and locations, it stores all the location, stock and client information about your vehicles and staff and then serves it to the pocket PC's, desktop suite and website. Now integrated with Google Earth to give you a map of all your fleet of vehicles in real time through Google Earth.
-
Mobile Pocket PC
Units
- The Pocket PC units are held predominantly by the Drivers within the company who deliver the products/services. The handhelds collect signatures from retail customers and provide real time access to corporate information such as orders, stock levels and internal communications, and also to print mobile invoices if necessary
-
User Website
- The user website is the main way employees interact with the system and is where orders are entered, viewed, edited and altered. The website also produces productivity reports and invoices on demand.
LinQ System Extra Features - Optional Extras
- GPS – This is an attachable module to our Enterprise Server framework. This module brings tracking and vehicle location management to the system, producing maps and constantly updating plots of where every vehicle is and what its last delivery was. The system also allows the tracking of vehicle usage, mileage, speed and fuel usage.
-
Fuel Management – This module allows managers to connect
the system to their own fuel pumps at their depots. The system
monitors the amount of distance the driver covered and works out how
much fuel would have been used. The pump will then dispense the
correct amount of fuel. This irradiates the huge problem of fuel
theft that is prevalent within the industry. This system is linked
to the LinQ Enterprise server through the internet and drivers
obtain fuel by entering their driver PIN into the fuel pump.
- QCTV Visual Monitoring - This product is designed to eliminate theft of goods in open top lorries from building merchant depots. The system involves mounting two cameras at the exit gate from the depot, and the gate man having a handheld computer which exiting drivers sign instead of the paper dockets used by most firms currently. When the driver signs the invoice, the system takes a snapshot of the lorry’s number plate and the contents of the vehicle.
- Wireless Contract – This tool allows companies to keep track of employee’s signatures for their agreement to contracts, such as health and safety and company policy agreements. Whereas currently contracts are signed on paper and filed, our system allows users to read a paper based version of the contract, then agree and sign on a handheld computer, which then sends their acceptance and signature to the central server where all the signatures can be viewed.
- Signoff – A tool allowing company’s to keep track of employees who visit several jobs per day at different locations, and to keep track of their productivity and when their tasks are completed.
- Mobile Photo Link – This tool enables photographs to be taken with the LinQ Enterprise Mobile Handhelds which are specially Time and Date stamped and linked with the currently logged in user, providing proof of works done for example. Pictures are captured using a special LinQ developed program which permanently links the photograph with a specific date, time, user, and even GPS position. The photograph is then sent back wirelessly with all its stamped information to the LinQ server.
