Keep your team safe
Geotab’s unique safety solution helps you manage safety for workers on the road. Manage unsafe driver behaviours like harsh braking, acceleration, speeding or unfastened seat belts as your team moves across your region.
Maintain safety in and outside of your mobile coverage area
Australia’s infrastructure is often located far outside cellular coverage zones. Expand Geotab’s utility fleet management service to include satellite coverage. By installing a duress alarm in vehicles or providing man-down emergency pendants for workers, your base of operations will always know when a driver experiences safety issues in remote areas.
Transition to electric with ongoing EV support
Geotab’s unparalleled support for electric vehicles means you can continue to use only one telematics platform as you transition to EVs. Build your future fleet with a telematics solution that provides ongoing support for electric vehicles.
