Recently,
the Comfort Quality Services Ltd. introduced an Electronic Vehicle Management
System for vehicles and motorcycles as it benefits the security aspects.
Meanwhile,
the company clarified allegation made regarding the biding process and awarding
of the contract awarded for the Aluminum Number Plate and QR Code after winning
the bid of designing and selling of new Aluminum Number Plates, establishing a
sophisticated Electrical Vehicle Management System.
The
Electrical Vehicle Management System is in line with the number plate
production and is designed to capture essential bank details required to
initiate a transaction between a vehicle owner and the company.
It
is also designed to capture essential vehicle details, as well as a vehicle
owner and transaction agent details, database search capabilities, multi-layer
data input, automatic number plate production, log all activities within the
software operating environment and manages essential business accounting
process among others.
Operations
Manager Ousman Njai at the Comfort Quality Services, said as part of their
requirement in the contract, they have supplied The Gambia Police Force with
100 scanners for traffic officers to use on their routine traffic checkpoints.
“Our
Quick Response (QR) system will ensure that every vehicle and motorcycle
roadworthy in the Gambia will have a QR sticker on their widescreen that will
be loaded with vehicle and owner information. When scanned, it will reveal the
information of the vehicle instantly on a handheld mobile device given to
traffic officers,” he said.
The
Operations Manager said the QR will ensure routine traffic checks which can be
carried out effectively by the police in their efforts to tackle vehicle theft
and other vehicle-related crimes and incidents and also ensure number plates
cannot be transferred from one vehicle to the other.
“With
our joint efforts with the Gambia Police Force, we aim to ensure safe roads and
eradicate reckless driving incidents by perpetrators with this electrical
vehicle management system in place for accurate owner identification and
vehicle details,” he said.
Mr.
Njai said the registration process of the new number plates starts with payment
of D1100 for vehicles and D630 for motorcycles at any Trust Bank Branch across
the country.
The
receipt from the bank, along with the correct documentation is then presented
at any of their offices in Banjul, Kairaba, Brikama, Basse and Farafenni for
registration and number plate printing.
“We secured our Aluminum Number Plates with
the highest of quality from a supplier; they are durable with 75% visibility in
the dark and the number plates also come with a secured future which traffic
police are aware of,” he said.
He
added that Comfort Quality Services has fulfilled every obligation on the
contract with the production of high-quality Aluminum Number Plates, provision
of 100 QR scanners and QR stickers which are currently on production.
