For many years Tour Operators in Tanzania have been operating without Fleet Management or Vehicle Tracking Systems, we cannot blame them. The Solution did not exist initially, and then the solutions which first came into the market were not designed for tour operators but mainly for cross country transporters. A few Tour Operators tried to use these generic solutions, but they did not work due to the fact that the solution was not delivering to the specific needs of tour operators; service and support from the service providers were poor and most of them were unavailable as they were not locally based.
This is why UTRACK AFRICA LTD, a locally based company, in operation for more than 10 years in the region, with a dedicated team and many working solutions, decided to customize a specialized solution for Tour Operators. This solution was designed to simplify the Tour Operators’ mode of operations while at the same time enhancing it by providing them with a tool that they can use from anywhere in the World. This solution called the “BUSH TRACKER” is the most sophisticated device for real-time fleet management and security application - all this while at the same time increasing efficiency and performance.
