The scalable packages including Tactics View, Tactics Marc, Tactics Central, Tactics Enterprise and the newly introduced Tactics smartGuard which can be tailored to the specific needs of an agency or region.

It operates centrally on the cloud and therefore eliminates the need to invest in traffic management servers and other IT-related resources. Available on fixed and mobile devices, Tactics smartGuard enables engineers and city managers to access pertinent, up-to-date traffic information at any time anywhere. The software includes detailed maps, status updates and the ability to change traffic plans. Security is certified by TUV, a worldwide safety and certification agency, and includes two-step authentication to ensure changes to the system are made only by authorised staff.
