Fleetio announces smartphone-based tracking product Fleetio Drive

Fleetio has launched Fleetio Drive, a new product that aims to help fleets track GPS location and driver behaviour via smartphones.

Without on-board hardware to install, Fleetio Drive uses the built-in sensors in drivers’ smartphones to track trip distance, location and the duration of driving events such as phone usage, speeding, aggressive acceleration and hard braking.

Focused on improving fleet safety and reducing risk, it scores and ranks drivers based on driving performance. Driver leaderboards and detailed reports give fleet managers insight into their fleet’s overall safety and show where individual drivers may need to improve.

Drivers can also indicate when they are on the clock using on/off duty control in the mobile app.

Tony Summerville, Fleetio founder and CEO, said: “Fleetio Drive provides fleets a way to track trips and driver performance by using the smartphone already in drivers’ pockets.”
