Understanding Service-Based Vehicles and Safety: What the Data Reveals About Drivers’ Behavior

Safety on the job, regardless of company size, is critical and should be instilled as a mandatory practice - not a convenience - especially for businesses with fleets.

In particular, small businesses may lack the resources needed for adequate supervision of employees, such as dedicated safety directors or fleet managers.

They often utilize underdeveloped safety training programs, or lack them completely.

Vehicle, or more specifically, driver monitoring, can help close the gap between small and large fleets by effortlessly identifying problem areas using data and efficient reporting tools.

These solutions can offer “big” capabilities to smaller businesses without all of the resources of a larger entity.

A well-managed and safe fleet of vehicles can result in a more profitable business, and better customer service, among a myriad of other benefits.

The third edition of Fleetmatics’ FleetBeat Report reveals the power of monitoring severe driving incidents through Fleetmatics’ management solutions.

By leveraging billions of data points collected through its fleet management software, Fleetmatics has demonstrated that businesses utilizing fleet management solutions to manage their vehicles can help improve driver safety within four weeks after implementation.

Road safety is of utmost importance to not only fleet managers, employees and the general public, but also makes an impact on the economic level.
