After securing the licence from the Supplier Recognition Scheme delivered by the British Olympic Association, the firm has been able to reveal that its technology helped ensure the smooth-running of operations throughout the games by tracking nearly 600 vehicles for organising committee LOCOG. 

The technology was used for the duration of the Olympics on the BMW fleet, which transported IOC members, delegates and VIPs between the Olympic venues and top locations throughout the Capital.

The vehicles were tracked with Quartix’s GPS unit, whilst MPVs and buses were also fitted with the system during the Paralympic Games, giving real-time information on the exact locations of the vehicles at any time.

Andy Walters, managing director of Quartix, added: ‘We are very honoured to have been a part of the Games and proud to have helped make London 2012 a huge success. The safety of the Games was of paramount importance to the accomplishment of such a large operation, so it’s great to know our vehicle tracking units helped the transport and logistics team succeed in their colossal task.’
