Fleet Support Group’s customers will see the influence of its acquisition by American fleet management giant Automotive Resources International (ARI) with the integration of telematics technology within its RiskMaster programme.
ARI, which has around 1.8 million vehicles under fleet management globally, bought FSG at the end of last year and is now exporting its expertise in customised integration to UK fleets.
This approach means that telematics data is directly linked to a company’s overall fleet management system, providing fleet decision-makers with a single point for information analysis.
FSG chairman Geoffrey Bray said: “The technology breakthrough with ARI means that by marrying information obtained via RiskMaster with data obtained via telematics, our customers can change driving cultures and thus drive down costs.”
He added: “By integrating telematics reporting with RiskMaster data and delivering information in a dashboard reporting format there is nowhere a driver or vehicle can hide.
"All areas that impact on cost can be identified and that gives us significant capability to help customers.”
In the UK, FSG’s occupational road risk management solution, RiskMaster, which is already used by a wide range of customers, will be the hub for telematics data received directly from individual vehicles.
The development will debut on the FSG standat Safety & Health Expo 2012, which runs at the NEC, Birmingham, from May 15 to 17.
