Vehicle connectivity streamlines fleets, boosting efficiency, cutting costs, and improving safety.
In a significant leap forward for fleet management, TÜV in Germany has certified Geotab's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) reporting, enabling fleets to submit their sustainability metrics immediately. This certification underscores Geotab's commitment to sustainability and its potential to drive change across industries.
Geotab's telematics solutions offer a unique advantage to fleets. By providing evidence-based policies, these solutions help improve employee safety, support sustainability programs, and maximize vehicle uptime, all without the need for vehicles to be taken off the road for telematics system installation.
One of the key features of Geotab's telematics solutions is their ability to identify impending faults in vehicles, sometimes even before warning lights appear on the dashboard. This early detection allows for preventative maintenance, minimizing unscheduled breakdowns and ensuring vehicles remain on the road.
The importance of the human driver behind the wheel is not lost on Geotab. In partnership with Vitality, they have launched a program that incentivizes drivers to improve their behavior behind the wheel. This program provides personalized insights and rewards, aiming to cultivate a culture of recognition and retention among valuable drivers.
Vitality's own insurance program has seen members suffer 55% fewer claims and significantly lower road fatalities compared to national averages, underscoring the potential impact of such initiatives.
The partnership between Geotab and Vitality highlights the importance of empathy and innovation in addressing the mounting pressures faced by drivers, who often contend with poor driving habits, traffic congestion, and demanding schedules.
Cars are now being produced with embedded connectivity, providing fleets, leasing, and rental companies with unprecedented insights into vehicle performance and driver behavior. Geotab's AI assistant, Geotab Ace, is used by over 1500 companies, making it a popular choice for managing this wealth of data.
Preventative maintenance not only enhances customer service for leasing and rental firms but also delivers substantial time and cost savings to all fleets. It allows for planned repairs at optimal times, reducing downtime and ensuring vehicles remain on the road.
Large rental companies can even negotiate preferential labor rates if they can schedule repairs at off-peak times in service centers.
Reporting can start almost instantly with Geotab's solutions, capturing accurate odometer mileage readings and automating tasks for large organizations. The most commonly asked questions of the MyGeotab platform, according to Geotab Ace, are related to safety, such as identifying the safest drivers, those with the most improved safety record, speeding drivers, and least utilized vehicles.
Geotab has also partnered with driver-facing camera suppliers like Lytx to create systems that alert drivers of distraction. Forward-facing cameras are expected to identify incidents of distracted driving by analyzing changes in metrics such as speed and following distance.
In a remarkable demonstration of their capabilities, Edward Kulperger, Senior Vice President EMEA Geotab, stated that in half an hour they were able to light up 4,000 vehicles from one fleet in Europe.
Geotab's collaborations extend beyond Vitality and Lytx. The company Fleet Complete has collaborated with Geotab in the past to develop a technological solution that rewards drivers with points for better driving, which can be exchanged for rewards such as free coffee or gift cards.
As the world of telematics continues to evolve, Geotab stands at the forefront, offering innovative solutions that prioritize safety, sustainability, and the human driver.
