Consolidating essential fleet data into a single, user-friendly interface, Halo Insights provides fleet managers with an overview of driver risk, fleet costs and operations.

Halo Insights is said to offer simplicity for fleet managers through diverse data sources integration, providing an accurate picture of risk and costs with automated educational interventions. These interventions are expected to help lower risk and cost by improving driver behaviour.

Collecting data on telematics, fuel consumption, accident management, insurance data, and fleet costs, Halo Insights can provide an immediate and clear picture of fleet performance, allowing for quick identification and resolution of potential issues.

The Drivetech platform has reportedly been trialled globally in 14 different markets to improve driver safety across more than 5,000 vehicles and is now ready for launch. Halo Insights will be available in 45 languages initially, with plans to roll it out to 70 countries worldwide.

“As a business that specialises in driver training, we know that drivers are complex, with a diverse range of needs that ultimately dictate their behaviour. That’s why we do all we can as a business to make driver behaviour safer,” explained Nick Butler, director, Drivetech. “Halo Insights sets itself apart by not only delivering tailored interventions to drivers based on behaviour captured by telematics, but also by providing fleet managers a holistic view of their fleet costs, fuel consumption and sustainability reporting.

“By offering tailored training directly to drivers, Halo Insights ensures that safety measures are not only understood but also implemented effectively. This direct approach to driver education, combined with the fleet manager’s holistic view of operations, creates a powerful dynamic for real change within the fleet.”

Proactively addressing driver safety by delivering real-time, individualised training interventions directly to drivers, timely ‘nudge’ interventions help correct behaviours as they happen, fostering safer driving habits and reducing the risk of accidents.

Businesses are also supported in their transition to more sustainable practices. By analysing fleet utilisation, Halo Insights identifies opportunities for integrating electric vehicles, such as identifying drivers who typically make shorter journeys. Finally, with the monitoring of fuel usage, prevention of misuse, and detailed audit trails, Halo Insights provides a view of fleet costs, helping businesses identify cost-saving opportunities, optimise fuel usage and streamline operations.
