Telematics
Telematics is a technology-based approach to managing fleet operations.
Brit Insurance is currently piloting Fleet Insight, a telematics system enhanced with the ability to record information on collisions.
Its potential benefits include:
- Improved vehicle management and higher productivity.
- Average 10% improvement in fuel efficiency (from reductions in unauthorised journeys and more conservative driving).
- Reduced wear and tear (from less aggressive driving).
- Improved customer service (you know where vehicles are so you can respond).
- Increased security.
- Improved driver behaviour.
- Reduced accident frequency.
- Compliance with legislation, such as the EU Working Time Directive.
- A reduction in fraudulent claims.
- Faster claims settlement, producing lower costs.
- Enhanced claims support from Brit Insurance’s experienced claims-handling team using the additional incident data.
- Improved brand and reputation protection due to better information about causes of accidents.
