On-Line Portal (Service Business Platform @ITS)
Yunex Traffic has rolled out a new service tool called SBP (Service Business Platform), which is a proprietary management system designed to effectively manage all service order progress, remotely update our ERP system (SAP) and as work is performed. SBP allows us to monitor many key performance items such as time arrived onsite, time of completion, materials used, and vehicle/equipment used. SBP keeps historical records for every location which allows the technicians an additional resource when troubleshooting.
When creating a new service request, the SBP will query the location history and will flag the order if it appears to be a repeated call out or duplicate order. Technicians transmit response and routine maintenance items in real- time using IOS or Android devices.
The contractual Scope of Work and all maintenance activities are also available for technicians to review to ensure all tasks are completed within the specified timeframe. Customer specific checklists for routine preventative maintenance will be available to the technicians so all required tasks are completed, per your Scope of Work.

Yunex Traffic stands uniquely positioned to partner with the City of Santa Ana for Traffic Signal and Street Lighting Maintenance and Repair Services. In fact, we believe that experience, value proposition, a unique mix of corporate characteristics, indust ry focus, and experiences, is unmatched in the current market. Specifically, we at Yunex Traffic believe that we are the best fit for this contract, based on 5 key attributes:
1. Corporate/Divisional Competency
2. Experience
3. Locality
4. Scalability
5. Updated Project Management
Our Corporate/Divisional Focus and Competency
Yunex Traffic is a major global player in the industry, driving innovation in technology and physical products that are used by partners, both public and private, throughout the world. The Field Services Division at Yunex Traffic is focused on the installation, integration, and maintenance of all systems, from legacy technology to the newest and most advanced traffic management devices on the market. While this ability to work with all syste ms is a requisite competency for any maintainer, Yunex Traffic is unique in its occupation of a space that straddles innovation and deployment in a field environment.
Our competitors typically focus on narrower aspects of the Traffic market: Heavy Construction, Traditional Maintenance, or Technological Innovation. By comparison, Yunex Traffic and our Field Services Division provides customers with a wide base of experti se across the spectrum of innovation, deployment, integration, and maintenance of systems and devices.
Our Experience
Yunex Traffic has been extremely successful in retaining traffic signal, streetlight, fiber optic, and engineering customers due to our desire to offer the best possible customer service. We have an exemplary customer service track -record highlighted by our well -qualified field personnel, knowledgeable customer service representatives, and proprietary detailed monthly reports. We understand what is required to maintain a community’s infrast ructure and strive to exceed our customer’s expectations.
Relevant Project Experience
Santa Ana: Traffic Signal and Streetlight Maintenance (RFP NO.: 24-046) ©2024 Yunex Traffic 27
Our Locality
Our project office, in nearby Anaheim, is only 5 miles from the City of Santa Ana. We are poised to react quickly with additional or specialty equipment, supplementary personnel when required, and with materials that the city requires. This location is not a temporary office specific to this project; we have been firmly planted for over 40 years in the area with multiple certified technicians within minutes of your city.
Our Scalability
Yunex Traffic Field Services operates maintenance and project contracts across the United States, serving more than 300 public customers . Unlike a regional player, the distributed Yunex footprint allows us to respond to emerging requirements by shifting resources to where they are needed most. We are the company you are looking for - both local and global. Since we operate in multiple markets, our personnel and equipment are not affected by the same circumstances.
Our Project Management
To provide efficient and effective project management, project progress is tracked in real time using digital tools such as Power BI, Map box, ArcGIS, and Tableau, which enable transparency between Yunex Traffic and its client, while reducing risks of delays.
