Fleet management solutions are usually chosen by companies willing to streamline their fleets in a bid to save on global costs, but there are quite a lot of hidden extras that fleets can also benefit from: the safety of drivers, vehicles and other road users to name but a few.
So what is the role of technology in preventing road accidents? Let´s have a look at 4 powerful impacts fleet management solutions like SynX can have on fleet safety!
#1 - Improve driving style by tracking driver behaviour
You can gain useful information on how your drivers behave on the road by means of your telematics solution. You can quickly ascertain who are your best drivers and trigger alerts if there are any dangerous driving events or if they are given to idling. By obtaining this kind of data you can use it for corrective actions so as to boost safety and dramatically reduce road accidents.
#2 - Get accurate data in case of litigation
Nobody wants to get into disputes, but in the event of an accident it might be necessary to defend your drivers—telematics solutions can provide the perfect basis for your company or driver’s defence. The data recorded by the system regarding speeding and location can successfully demonstrate that your drivers are not liable; it is a quick and easy task to pull such information from the system.
#3 - Help save money on insurance costs
Improving driver behaviour, preventing road accidents and risks (as covered in points 1 and 2) actually impacts on your insurance costs: better driving and accurate data available to defend your team results in savings on insurance premiums.
#4 - Boost your internal safety policies and risk assessment
The data you get on fleet safety, performance and driver behaviour can improve your policies by helping you choose what is going to be included, or what your company should focus on, in terms of risk assessment.
