Aptella technicians are experts in their field and with the remote service capabilities enabled with Tokara, these technicians can solve most technical issues that arise without the need to visit the machine(s) in person, saving you time and keeping you within your budgets.

Tokara is an Australian-designed telematics solution created specifically to improve efficiency and productivity for earthworks and civil construction projects.

Tokara connects your machines to the office, provides access to Aptella’ technical support and links you to any GNSS/GPS network required for the job.

Managers and surveyors can also remotely update design files on all machines across multiple projects, without the need to visit each machine in person to upload a design via USB transfer.

“Tokara can really help you increase productivity and reduce downtime on site. If you’re having issues with your machine(s) on site, Tokara gives the customer and Aptella full diagnostic access. If the support team can’t resolve the issue over the phone and we need to get out with field service we can be a lot more efficient knowing what the issue is to reduce time onsite” said Mr Hayden Paul, Major Accounts Manager Construction, Aptella.

Tokara offers project managers, surveyors and other key stakeholders the ability to login to a user-friendly web portal to track and manage their machines and survey instruments, or send design updates to the field without leaving the office.

“We, at Aptella, have always prioritised timely and efficient support because we know that if your machine control system isn’t working then you’re not making money,” said Aaron Krenske, Networking Solutions Manager at Aptella.

“This led us to the development of Tokara, which enables our technicians to solve most problems without even visiting the site!”

Tokara is designed to help you get the most from your machine control and survey technology with fast, comprehensive support when you need it and also makes training your staff on the machine and equipment very simple and enables you to keep working on site while working on any issues or problems remotely.

“Tokara assists in ongoing training, so when you have access to Tokara on a machine, the operator can ring up our support team and our guys can remotely log in, talk the operator through what they’re doing. This can make the operator feel a lot more comfortable with using the equipment” said Mr Paul.

“It’s part of that ongoing training and backing up what we sell.”

Aptella has been able to develop its Tokara suite through the unique set of skills and expertise built up by the company over many years.

“Our unique blend of experience and industry knowledge means that we are ideally placed to deliver a single industry-wide solution: we understand the business, we understand our customers, and we understand what they want to achieve,” Mr Krenske added.

“Tokara has been developed in Australia, using Australian skills and programmers, based around customer requirements, and has been extensively tested with contractors and end-users throughout the country so that we know it works in our harsh environment and with our often-challenging telecommunications networks.”

The service and support offered by Aptella in conjunction with the remote support system is what makes Tokara such a powerful solution for our customers.

“Anyone can sell a system to a customer, but the problem is you need to have that back up and support and I think Aptella is really great at that,” said Mr Paul.

“We pride ourselves on that service and support.”
