iCAB - A true innovation
Unlike traditional taximeters that provide very limited capabilities in terms of control and reporting, the iCAB was designed specifically for fleet operators and taxi companies wanting to take full control over their fleets. The iCAB application is highly configurable and supports several modes of operations. With the iCAB the choice is yours, it all depends on the level of control you want to have. Below is a list of some of the many modes of operations that you could use (It is important to note that many of the modes below can be enabled at the same time )
Modes of Operaion
-
Expiry Date Mode:
In this mode you can simply program the iCAB application to check for the Expiry Date you programmed in the iCAB settings table. When the date is reached, the iCAB taximeter application would seize to operate until a new expiry date is provided. This mode doesn't require the usage of a server or wireless communications. -
Shift Control Mode:
In this mode you can provide each driver with a smart card that holds meter access information, such as vehicle, start Date, End Date, and shift information. No access to the meter is provided unless the card is authenticated. This mode doesn't require the usage of a server or wireless communications. -
OnLine Authentication Mode:
In this mode the iCAB application will prompt the driver to enter a driver ID ( manually or using a smart Card ). The ID entered, will be used to authenticate driver access, against shift control parameters programmed against the driver profile in the CabCube server. This mode utilizes GPRS communication and requires the usage of the CabCube server. -
OnLine Reporting Mode:
In this mode the iCAB application will be configured to report all its activities to the CabCube server. All transactions are logged in real time with an unparalleled level of details. The information gathered can be used for Driver's cashiering, auditing or simply for reporting purposes. -
POS Mode:
In this mode the iCAB application provides a pass through connection for your favourite POS terminal ( Debit/Credit Terminal), allowing you to use a single SIM card for all your communication needs. -
GPS Tracking Mode:
In this mode the iCAB vehicle tracking application is enabled. Simply track the location of any of your vehicles at any time with a click of a mouse. Location information received from the vehicle can be used at later time to replay vehicle driving history.
