Getting started with TMdesk
New to TMdesk? This article provides an introduction to TMdesk and a brief overview of how it can support your business.
What is TMdesk?
TMdesk is an online tool that helps you manage your temporary traffic signals.
It brings information about your signals, sites and depots together in one place, helping you quickly see what needs your attention.
You can use TMdesk to check signals that are out on the road, keep an eye on battery levels and see which equipment is ready for your next job.
Who is TMdesk for?
TMdesk is designed for teams that manage temporary traffic signals, including:
- Traffic management teams
- Depot teams
- Operations teams
- Supervisors and managers
You don't need to be a technical expert to use TMdesk.
Why should I use TMdesk?
TMdesk helps you know what is happening with your signals without having to rely on manual checks.
You can use it to:
- Check battery levels
- See which sites may need attention
- Find signals on a site
- See what equipment is at each depot
- Check which signals are charged
- Prepare equipment for upcoming jobs
This can help your team plan work, reduce unnecessary journeys and keep your signals ready to use.
How often should I check TMdesk?
We recommend making TMdesk part of your normal working day.
A good place to start is the Battery Screen. This shows which live sites are most likely to need attention.
You can then check the Depot Screen to see what equipment you have available and whether it is ready for your next job.
