ELD automation
Safety scorecards and integrated cameras
Workflow efficiencies
Connected ecosystem
A simple yet powerful EWD solution automates compliance requirements, saving drivers time and reducing errors.
These tools provide actionable insights to improve driver behaviour while reinforcing a strong safety culture.
From dispatch communications to route planning, integrated tools streamline operations and make life on the road much easier.
An open platform and extensive partner network will allow fleets to customise solutions that align with your drivers’ unique needs.
Five ways technology empowers truck drivers
1. Enhance driver safety and well-being
With safety being a top priority for drivers, AIenabled dash cameras and telematics solutions promote safer driving through real-time feedback and proactive accident prevention. For example, cameras can alert drivers to potential hazards, while telematics data provides insights into risky behaviours like harsh braking or speeding. These technologies instill confidence among drivers, demonstrating the fleet’ s commitment to their safety and well-being.
2. Streamline operations and reduce driver burden
Managing a work diary, compliance paperwork and dispatch messaging can overwhelm drivers. You can simplify these tasks with solutions like an NHVR certified Electronic Work Diary, intuitive workflows and integrated communication systems. By reducing administrative burdens, drivers can focus on driving safely and effectively.
3. Maximise driver earnings and uptime
Unplanned breakdowns and long idle times can disrupt a driver’ s earning potential.
Through predictive maintenance capabilities and fuel efficiency optimisation you can reduce downtime, enabling drivers to maximise their time on the road. Knowing their livelihood is supported builds trust and loyalty between drivers and fleets.
4. Support training and skill development
Telematics isn’ t just about tracking behaviour— it’ s a powerful tool for enabling driver coaching by analysing data on performance indicators such as fuel efficiency and safe driving practices. Tailored training based on this data helps drivers improve their skills, boosting confidence and job satisfaction.
5. Optimise compensation and incentives
Using performance data, fleets can create transparent and fair compensation programs, or tap into existing programs such as Geotab Vitality. Through telematic-driven insights managers can track driver scorecards and offer incentives for safe and efficient driving. These individualised performance-based rewards make drivers feel recognised and motivated.
