Protecting High-Value Vehicles with MagTrack: West Pennine Insurance Group

The Challenge

Enhancing Customer Protection and Retention

West Pennine Insurance Group approached us with a clear objective: to increase customer satisfaction and retention by offering their policyholders a reliable way to protect high-value vehicles against theft. They needed a solution that was quick and easy to install, avoiding delays in setup and the high costs associated with complex installations.

 

Discretion was also crucial – the device needed to be small and difficult to locate, reducing the risk of thieves finding and removing it. To ensure maximum insurance value for their customers, the device had to be Thatcham S7 certified, opening opportunities for potential policy discounts. Additionally, West Pennine Insurance Group required a solution linked to a Stolen Asset Recovery Network (S.A.R.N) to maximise the chances of recovering stolen vehicles swiftly and safely.

 

The Trial

To demonstrate the effectiveness of our solution, we agreed to run a live trial of MagTrack, our magnetic tracking device designed precisely for scenarios like this. Early one morning, one of West Pennine’s vehicles was hidden inside a shipping container at an undisclosed location, with a MagTrack device discreetly attached. At 10:27am, Theft Mode was activated, and our team quickly verified the vehicle details to initiate the recovery process without delay.

Solution

Rapid Recovery and Proven Performance

Less than 25 minutes after the vehicle was reported stolen, one of our Asset Recovery Teams was already en route to its location. By 57 minutes after the initial alert, the team had arrived on site and began the search.

The vehicle was located at a vehicle recycler facility, meaning further identification was required to pinpoint its exact position within the premises.

Just 73 minutes after the initial report, the vehicle was successfully identified inside a shipping container. The owner was promptly informed and arrangements were made for them to collect their recovered vehicle.

“The Matrix system is impressive for sure, the ability for a team to be sent to recover your vehicle is for me I feel a game changer. The demonstration certainly showed the system does exactly what it says it will. Very impressive."
