Zoombak CEO Simon Buckingham says: “Zoombak’s mission is to develop advanced products and services that seamlessly integrate with a consumer’s lifestyle, enabling users to stay better connected to their families and loved ones. With the Zoombak locator, we are putting safety on the map and revolutionising the way people locate and recover what they care about most.”
Zoombak: For Vehicles
According to recent Home Office data, nearly 1.7 million vehicle related thefts were recorded in the UK between April 2006 and March 2007. Having security equipment in your car is statistically proven to make your vehicle more than ten times safer than a car with no security equipment. But, more than just an auto recovery solution, Zoombak’s on-demand location-finding capabilities gives parents of teenaged drivers, or those with elderly drivers in the family, the comfort of knowing where they are when their loved ones are on the road.
Zoombak is designed to be hard-wired into a vehicle or used portably, giving consumers the flexibility to either just keep it in one car, or use it in different vehicles as needed. Zoombak is easy to set up and can help owners locate their vehicle 24 hours a day from almost any computer or mobile phone (coming soon), and notifies owners by email and SMS/text alerts.
Zoombak: How it Works
Zoombak’s advanced A-GPS system uses satellite-enabled GPS to provide one of the fastest, most accurate location technology commercially available for tracking vehicles.
With Zoombak, owners can easily:
· Create ‘safety zones’ around homes, outdoor office car parks, or virtually any location.
· Feel reassured that if a device leaves or enters an active zone Zoombak can alert them via email and/or a text/SMS message to their mobile phone.
· Locate a vehicle 24 hours a day and promptly receive updates regarding their whereabouts by email, SMS/text message or via the secure Zoombak interactive website.
