Geotab has released a new Investigations product designed to streamline incident management for fleet operators. The tool allows users to attach photos, videos, and documents to structured workflows to simplify the investigation process.
Why it matters
The system enables smaller fleet operators to perform detailed accident investigations without the need for large internal safety teams. It also aims to reduce the professional stress typically placed on both drivers and management during post-incident reviews.
Geotab maintains telematics integrations with manufacturers representing more than 85% of commercial vehicles across Europe. The new platform utilizes location and time-based search to map vehicle activity against driver behavior and speed events.
