Telematics targes driver behaviour

When procurement manager Jonathan Willmore embarked on the process of evaluating all telematics systems on the market, usability, support, reports access and how the tracking worked were the key assessment criteria.

Starting their telematics journey with the Masternaut MWeb platform, their continued growth meant they wanted a system that could grow with them and was much easier to use. Driver safety, reducing risk and increasing efficiency are at the heart of all business decisions.

Mick George implemented the Masternaut Connect platform as it came out on top with the most straightforward driver behaviour management and user-friendly tools being a big deciding factor. Not only are the reports in the easy to see traffic-light format – green/amber/red – the in-cab feedback using the same formula allows drivers to positively change their driving behaviour on-job. It was also important to have everything on one platform, where everyone is scored with the same parameters.

The first stage of the migration involved 250 HGVs and was successfully implemented over five weeks. The fitting of the LGVs and cars were done in a second stage.

When introducing the new technology, drivers in the red were targeted first. The in-house driver trainers then spent time with them helping to improve their scores.
