POWERED BY PRO-CLOUD
In 2023 an international team of adventurers and ocean rowers will attempt to row the Northwest Passage, the arctic route between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans considered the #LastGreatFirst.
Hoping to navigate a part of the world that has, for so many years, been unforgiving and bordering on inaccessible, this team strives to make history.
This expedition is only possible because the region’s climate is changing, and the sea ice is retreating each year gradually opening the route from July to September. It is through this expedition, we can truly begin to understand our impact on the environment and the steps we must take to preserve it.
Leven Brown is the leader of this extraordinary expedition and his experience with grueling rowing experiences is second to none.
Being one of the most experienced and highly regarded ocean rowing skippers in the world and a multiple Guiness World Record holder, it’s safe to say the rest of the team is in safe hands.
Phillip Als
With a rich background as a former Olympic windsurfer representing Barbados and a windsurfing coach, Phillip brings extensive experience to the team. He also embarked on his own remarkable 3,000-mile cross-Atlantic journey in 2003.
Davie Flett
A native Orcadian, Davie has undertaken several rowing challenges over the years including a 200-mile Ness Yoal (accomplished in 45 hours). Since then, he’s founded the Orkney Rowing Club and has even been featured on the BBC.
Daniel Kritzinger
Hailing from South Africa, Daniel is a GP by trade. Over the last 20 years he’s spent his free time pursuing sports and athletics. He hopes for this expedition to be a great learning experience.
Mike Harding
A former Royal Marine, Mike has a deep love for travel and exploration. At one point he undertook an impressive 3,500-mile journey across West Africa. Inspired by his ancestor, the explorer Sir John Franklin, Mike aims to pay tribute by completing this challenging expedition.
Robert Strachan
Robert Strachan, from Aberdeen, runs his own company, Strachan Health Fitness Nutrition. Robert plans to conduct research on confined spaces, group dynamics, and the effects of sleep deprivation. He’s also looking forward to showcasing photography of local wildlife in an exhibition back home.
Tuppence Mellish
Another native Scot, Tuppence works as a mixed animal Veterinarian in Ontario. Having a keen interest in Arctic climates since spending time in Norway with the British Exploring Society, Tuppence is excited to undertake this expedition.
Levar Nysted
With 8 ocean-rowing expeditions under his belt, Livar is no stranger to daring challenges on the open waters. Now, Livar joins this incredible expedition, being able to experience a journey undertaken by trailblazers like Shackleton and Amundsen before him.

When new assets are acquisitioned into a service our purchasing order processing module controls the buying process and automates the receipt of goods received, ensuring key purchasing information is recorded.
Bring complete control and real-time visibility of your catalogue of assets by using Pro-Cloud’s specialist stock management module.
As soon as an asset is bought into a service it will automatically be assigned with the appropriate test and task schedule. Ad-hoc tests can be generated at any time, for example if an after use test needs to occur.
If you need a solution that can manage your in-field assets as well as your fleet of vehicles Pro-Cloud can do just that. Automate your fleet operations for accurate, real-time data, fleet efficiency and cost savings.
Track and trace your entire inventory through the use of unique asset ID’s and advanced labelling technology. Pro-Cloud is compatible with a multitude of barcoding options.
Boost efficiencies with route optimisation software. Routes can be set up in extremely flexible ways; postcode groups can be managed, as well as activity types, speed of response, products, two person tasks and alternative technicians.
Work from anywhere with our secure Pro-Cloud app, bringing real-time visibility of your entire workforce and job schedules.
Used on mobile devices or handheld scanners, assign, complete and record data on the go.
When an asset fails a test it will be transferred to workshop monitoring for the repair to be completed. All costs and parts associated with the repair are assigned to the asset, allowing management to report on repair data.
If you need a solution that can manage your in-field assets as well as your fleet of vehicles Pro-Cloud can do just that. Automate your fleet operations for accurate, real-time data, fleet efficiency and cost savings.
Our maintenance module is flexible allowing you to design existing paper maintenance checklists or build as-is electronic system solutions without compromise. Each maintenance checklist can also reference the inspection manual numbers under national emergency vehicle maintenance regulations.

Our Fleet Accident Management module enables the user to record information at the scene of an accident. The recorded accident can then be taken up by the relevant person responsible and remain open on our fleet system until resolved. In addition to this our telematics data can assist in investigating the accident.
The information available includes;
Location of accident
Driver information
Third party information
Name
Insurance
Witness information
Responsibility
Upload accident photographic evidence
Accident notes
Comprehensive accident reports
Simply install a telematics device and benefit from the rich data you received in real-time for the vehicle. The telematics dashboard will provide information on;
Vehicle locations at any time
Driving information e.g.
Acceleration and Deceleration
Speed
Driving habits e.g., Cornering
Vehicle Monitoring
Engine Run and Idle times
Light functions
Brakes wear (Tread alerts)
Fluids e.g., Wiper Washer Tank levels
Fuel levels and usage accumulation over a period

Service due alert
Record accurate vehicle details via API lookup and send directly to the DVLA database at the point of registration
Set the vehicle ownership to manage and control the group of vehicles and select from:
Asset
Lease
Hire
Select vehicle configuration and automatically create lockers in real-time
Assign Fleet No for operational identification
Track and manage the vehicle lease ahead of the return date
Record and track mileage usage against the mileage stipulated in the hire contract
Make use of comprehensive vehicle ownership reports and acquire:

Our fleet maintenance module will allow you to easily manage critical schedules for your fleet. At the point of registration, you can immediately set the dates for;
Maintenance
Period Inspection
Annual Service

If you are using Telematics on your existing Fleet, we can easily integrate to the data via API’s and bring all the above information into our Fleet module. Using secure webservices our API’s can connect to the service provider and import the data into our system in the same way we collect it directly when the device is managed by us.
In the event of an accident, the telematics data can be used to assist in the investigation of an accident. Critical data that will assist include;
The speed at the time of the incident
Vehicle under Bluelight
Braking elements (harsh braking and how long) at the time of impact
Local environment conditions e.g. driving in wet conditions
