One of the requirements of SecurePath is that the tracker data should not be sent to any other server except the SecurePath server. Tracking devices can be configured to send the tracking data to more than one server. This possibility can be used to send the data to another server where the data can be used to integrate the tracking information into a third-party software. For example, the tracking data can be made available to an ERP software. It is illegal to do this since SecurePath explicitly requires the tracker data to be sent only to the SecurePath server.

The SecurePath is getting a new look with the latest revamp soon to be launched. The modern interface whose screenshots were recently displayed to a closed group of integrators looks promising. The website is responsive and sleek. It is assumed that the workflow is optimized so that many things that previously involved tedious manual input would now be more easy and efficient. A mobile app is also available so that the vehicles can be tracked using a smartphone.

You can activate your rental cars in the SecurePath Sharjah smoothly with proper planning. The key is to schedule the installation of GPS tracking devices for SecurePath Sharjah along with the registration renewals of your rental cars. The activation of SecurePath Sharjah can then be done according to this schedule. Implementation of the mandate The SecurePath Sharjah mandate will be implemented gradually over a period of 12 months. This is the duration in which the registration renewals will become due for all the rental cars coming under the scope of the SecurePath Sharjah project. Invest over a year If you plan your activation of SecurePath Sharjah, you will not have to spend a large amount of money immediately to get activation of SecurePath Sharjah done in all your rental cars right now. You will have a certain number of rental cars whose registration renewals would fall in a given month. Over the next 12 months, you can get the rental cars installed with GPS tracking devices. You can then get the activation of SecurePath Sharjah done. Planning Take a list of all your rental cars. Sort them in the order of their registration renewals. Organize them into the next 12 months. Keep a list of rental cars due for renewals in each month ready with you. With this list ready, you can plan the installation schedule for the activation of SecurePath Sharjah.

The SecurePath system will soon get integrated with the Traffic Department of the respective emirates. This means that the system will get updated automatically when a car is activated in the SecurePath system. Instead of carrying a printed paper certificate to the RTA testing centres for registration renewal, the RTA system will be updated with the vehicle information and the registration official can simply look up the system to know the details of the vehicle in the SecurePath system. This will also reduce the possibility of fraud by some spurious SecurePath integrators who were issuing certificates without actually installing devices. We at Gredenza often encounter customer requests to this effect. They tell us that even without fixing a GPS tracker there are companies who will issue a certificate for as low as 300 AED so that the car owner can get the vehicle registered. This kind of low pricing is possible by the vendor because there is no cost of device or GSM data to be paid to the telecom provider. This practice is illegal and will be penalised heavily by the Authorities.
