RCT’s SmarTrack Global fleet management system has transformed operations at JDK Management’s storage facilities in Victoria.

JDK Management is one of the largest storage warehouses in Shepparton, with more than 35,000 pallet spaces of storage in varying temperatures from -18c to +8c. The company prides itself on providing the best facilities and the most accurate and efficient customer service.

Therefore, its decision through materials handling partner L&P Mackin Forklifts to install SmarTrack Global at the facility was an easy one.

The system was combined with RCT’s two-camera DVR recorder to further safeguard operations.

JDK Management general manager Paul Kalafatis says the combination of the solutions has been very successful in enabling his company to identify the causes of incidents relating to materials handling equipment.

“As a result, management has been able to identify environmental risks, initiate additional training and generally heighten safety awareness within the organisation,” he says.

JDK Management says the compliance aspects of SmarTrack Global including the checklist reporting and access control were significant factors in its decision to purchase the solution. The ability to understand when its forklifts were operating and what weight they were carrying was also of significant interest from a safety and utilisation perspective.
