Formbird Business Telematics with Geotab combines Formbirds proven Fleet information management solutions, Formbird FLEET and Geotab’s award-winning GPS solution. Formbird Business Telematics empowers fleet managers to improve driver safety and manage the inherent risk of running a fleet of vehicles. By utilising Geotab’s monitoring tools, reporting tools, and in-vehicle audible notifications, fleet managers can identify unsafe practices and develop targeted campaigns to address them.
Fleet safety policies are standards, rules and guidelines for drivers of organisation-owned vehicles. They help to regulate vehicle use during and outside of business hours. Fleet managers often share their fleet safety policies through handbooks, videos, posters, training curricula and onboarding documents. Standard vehicle safety policies include:
- Hours of Operation compliance
- Use of corporate vehicles outside of business hours
- Prevention of unsafe driving practices like speeding, harsh braking and turning
- Adherence to parking regulations
- Avoidance of driving distractions like eating or texting while driving
- Allowing for safe space around other vehicles
By leveraging Formbird Business Telematics with Geotab’s monitoring tools, reporting tools, and in-vehicle audible notifications, operators can develop and deploy campaign-based initiatives focused on unsafe driving.
The process begins by establishing a driver behaviour baseline over a 4-6 week period using the Geotab Driver Behaviour & Risk Management Report. This report includes data on aggressive driving, exceeding posted speed limits, idling, excessive speeding, and seatbelt use.
Fleet managers can continue monitoring and improving driver behaviour over time with customisable risk monitoring, live alerts, and in-vehicle audible coaching. The solution includes posted and “custom road speed limit” monitoring, seatbelt usage monitoring, and reporting options such as the Red, Amber and Green (RAG) driver safety scorecard.
Real-time notifications for live events, such as collisions, rollovers, and duress alarms, can be sent via email, SMS, or HTTP. Asset type idling management, fit-for-duty digital pre-start checklists, and IVMS compliance are also available.
Formbird Business Telematics with Geotab is a comprehensive solution that helps fleet operators improve driver safety and manage the inherent risk of running a fleet of vehicles. By utilising monitoring tools, reporting tools, and in-vehicle audible notifications, operators can identify areas of inefficiency, develop targeted campaigns, and monitor and improve driver behaviour over time. Fleet safety policies are also essential to ensure compliance and safety on the road.
