Security
Before implementing Shuntware® on-site, we build a list of the personnel who will have access, and what level of access they’ll receive. Whether dispatching moves through the gatehouse, or running reports from an administrative standpoint, there are specific classifications for different security levels. This ensures your data is safe and tailors each person's access to their individual needs.
