Vanmate App

How does it work?

Download and sign up.

You’ll now be on the home screen, on this screen is a map of all reports near you.

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.

If you click on the notification, you will see it the report screen, on this screen, you will see

an image and description of what has taken place, it could be a theft or suspicious activity.

The report screen might say; ‘Makita tools stolen by hooded kids’ or saw hooded kids in

large group in Aldi car park looking at vans’.

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, or if you also saw the gang of hooded kids on a neighbouring estate.

The app will help van owners & tradesman 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 tool thieves - Download now
