TraxSmart: Vijay Pugalia’s Goal to Provide Robust Theft-proof Protection to Users
In recent years, automobile thefts in India have become a glaring issue. In 2020 itself, nearly 2,801 automobile thefts took place, out of which only 39 percent of cases were resolved. Furthermore, post lockdown, the incidence of such reports has risen marginally across the country.
Amid the current scenario, it has become unequivocally important to equip our gadgets and vehicles with a reliable tracking system. Doing so will not only help us track our belongings, but also save us from potential security threats. Intelligent, robust security – this is among the most pressing need of our society today.
TraxSmart is an advanced yet user-friendly web based tracking application that aims to fulfil this need for security. It specializes in an array of comprehensive tracking and monitoring features, providing an all-encompassing security solution to users.
