Press Release Summary: KENT SWEEPERS TO KEEP ON TRACK WITH DIGICORE

Press Release Body: Kent Sweepers, a leading UK contract and spot hire specialists
for operated and self drive road sweepers, gully tankers & JCB tele-copic forklifts
has awarded a contract to DigiCore for the development and implementation of
sophisticated vehicle tracking tool. Initially, a bespoke tracking solution,
utilising DigiCore's C-track system, will be initially fitted on 180 vehicles within
the organisation's operated road sweeper fleet, service support units and company
cars.

The innovative solution will see the tracking system attached direct to a number of
PTO-linked applications enabling Kent Sweepers to monitor the precise status of its
operated road sweepers in the field. Sensors located on the hopper, belly brush and
gutter brush will provide access to detailed operating data including brush and
tipping movements, enabling greater visibility and control over active units.

Kent Sweepers will transmit key information locally via depot work stations and a
plasma screen at its national call centre in Milton Keynes, optimising the
scheduling and job allocation process to increase productivity and enhance asset
utilisation. In addition, data will also be utilised to better respond to customer
enquiries and provide real-time status updates where appropriate.

Elsewhere, the C-track system will also form part of Kent Sweepers' programme of
green initiatives by offering new insight into the environmental impact of its
vehicles, whilst providing a new way of reducing levels of harmful emissions. By
monitoring real-time movements, Kent Sweepers will be able to ensure vehicles are
operated efficiently and remain on-route to enhance fuel performance and ultimately
reduce its carbon footprint.

Keith Curtis, Operations Director at Kent Sweepers commented: "The C-track system
offers a means to achieve cost efficiencies and increased productivity levels,
whilst at the same time, further enhancing safety and the overall service we provide
to our customers. This investment in DigiCore's advanced tracking technology
highlights our commitment to operating an effective and responsible vehicle fleet."

Tom O'Connor, Managing Director of DigiCore Ltd said: "We are very pleased that Kent
Sweepers has appointed DigiCore to develop their vehicle tracking solution. This
latest contract demonstrates the rich functionality of the C-track system and our
ability to meet detailed customer requirements."

C-track is a sophisticated fleet management system that adopts the latest technology
to provide a comprehensive real-time vehicle management tool. This proven solution
provides vital information about mobile assets and workforce, and offers a scaleable
mobile solution that meets the complex needs of car, van and commercial vehicle
fleet operators.
