About Us
After writing some initial software to communicate with some test devices and carrying out extensive testing we then developed our smartphone Apps, and it was time to go to market.
Since then and after working closely with many clients, our talented in-house software developers have designed and built a feature packed tracking platform that we offer you today.
Protekt is used by clients within all types of industries to remotely monitor the location and safety of their assets and remote workforce using our precise and economical GPS tracking devices coupled to our secure cloud-based software platform.
"At Protekt, we have made it our mission to provide our clients with an exceptional and cost-effective end to end GPS Tracking Solution that has enabled us to build long term relationships with our clients. Protekt has proven to be an invaluable business tool that will actually put money back into our clients’ pockets"
