Vanmate App

This app is designed to help van owners & tradesmen in 2 ways.

1. If a theft or suspicious behaviour report comes in near you, you’ll know to be extra vigilant as often these crimes come in a flurry in one area, so for example; that night you might decide to bring your tools in or park your van in the garage.
2. If you sadly are a victim, by reporting what happened you are giving other local van owner’s an opportunity to let you know if they’ve seen or heard anything in relation to what happened. The app is all about working together to beat theives.

How does it work? Once you download and sign up you will have access to the latest incident reports. If you report a vehicle crime - everyone within 15KM radius of a reported theft or suspicious behaviour will be notified. You will get a notification on your phone that something has been reported near you.

An example report may be: ‘Makita tools stolen by hooded kids’. You will be able to comment on this report. This opens up the opportunity for you to help the victim, for example if you have seen Makita tools for sale on Facebook in the local area.
