Sapphire for Equipment Dealerships

Sapphire helps material handling equipment dealerships level up their customer service offering and grow their dealership business.

It allows dealers to minimise machine downtime and end reactive service models, tackle slow dealership growth due to limited customer offerings, and fix the inefficiencies of collating fleet data from different telematics providers.

In particular, it helps dealerships make the most of their technicians’ time by monitoring equipment remotely so they can be proactive with technical service.

With Sapphire, dealerships can enhance customer satisfaction by levelling up their offer, thanks to features that boost the safety, security, and efficiency of their customers’ fleets.

And it gives dealers one solution for all makes and models of machine so they can easily connect their entire fleet to one single cloud platform and integrate different types of trackers, whether they’re from GemOne or another provider.

Sapphire for Material Handling Fleets

Sapphire helps material handling fleets minimise warehouse incidents and streamline regulatory management and compliance.

It puts an end to unapproved use of machines and empowers a company’s operators to be more efficient.

And it fixes inefficiencies in how companies manage their fleets.

Sapphire helps material handling fleets in three main ways.

The first is by enhancing warehouse safety and regulatory management so companies can minimise equipment damage, save time and money on safety checks and compliance, and safeguard the wellbeing of their employees.

The second is by streamlining operator management, so they can control access settings, see insights on operator behaviour, and more easily manage licensing requirements.

The third is by boosting fleet efficiency through actionable fleet performance insights on machine usage so they can minimise machine downtime, improve fleet composition, and enhance lifecycle management.

Sapphire Features:

Some of the key features of Sapphire:

1. Automated Safety Checks to Meet Regulatory Requirements

Say goodbye to the days of cumbersome paper checklists and illegible writing.

Sapphire includes on-screen safety checklists that not only make pre-start checks mandatory but also enforce operator lockout in the presence of critical issues.

The system ensures that operators inspect machines thoroughly before operation, documenting completed checklists and the time they take. Real-time data on a cloud platform tracks user behaviour and safety issues, offering a transparent overview of fleet safety.

2. Impact Reporting for Safer Warehouses

Unreported impacts can be costly, leading to product and equipment damage as well as machine downtime.

Sapphire tackles this issue by providing instant notifications of impacts.

You can easily identify operators and areas prone to incidents, allowing for timely intervention. Lockout thresholds and additional alarms contribute to a safer workspace, fostering responsible driving behaviour.

3. Access Control for Safer Machine Usage

Operator Access Control via PIN/RFID is a key feature of Sapphire.

It allows machine access only to approved operators based on certifications and training criteria.

The system supports various access methods, including PIN codes, RFID cards, and RFID fobs. Even standard non-RFID badges can be seamlessly integrated, eliminating the need for a separate ID card.

4. Licence Management for Streamlined Compliance

With operator licence and training expiration tracking, Sapphire ensures that operators comply with training and licensing requirements.

Operators will be instantly locked out of equipment if their licence expires, guaranteeing safety and compliance for your business.

This feature helps businesses stay on top of licence requirements and ensures that operators always hold the necessary certifications.

5. Utilisation Reporting for Informed Decision-Making

Eliminate the guesswork when it comes to the usage of your machines.

Sapphire’s Utilisation Reporting provides a clear view of how long each machine is utilised.

This machine hours usage data enables businesses to make informed decisions to optimise fleet composition, improve productivity, reduce maintenance issues, and minimise machine downtime.

6. Session Reporting for Operational Insights

Session Reporting allows you to gain a comprehensive understanding of both individual operator activity and machine performance.

This feature provides insights into efficiencies which help with staff reviews and the establishment of KPIs that reward safe and productive driving behaviour.

7. Forklift Cameras for Enhanced Visibility

For an extra layer of safety, Sapphire offers optional cameras.

These cameras reduce the risk of equipment damage, increase productivity, and enhance operator safety.

With various camera views and easy installation, these cameras also provide valuable data for incident investigation.

8. Forklift Load Sensors to Prevent Overloading

Prevent overloading and protect your equipment with Sapphire’s Forklift Load Sensors.

These sensors are designed to fit any forklift model, ensuring operators work safely within the equipment’s capacity.

Overweight alarms and automatic lockout features contribute to a safer working environment.

9. Actionable Business Insights on a Single Cloud Platform

You can see all the information from the Sapphire system on an online cloud platform that gives you real-time access to fleet data and valuable insights into your business operations.

In addition, GemOne’s Sapphire is customisable. For example,users can choose between overhead guard mounts or clamp mounts, with optional features like battery monitoring and proximity warning.

Built with IP67 certification for industrial use, Sapphire comes with an industry-leading 2-year warranty, with the possibility of extension depending on your needs.
