The Profitability Gap

Fleet managers are navigating a landscape where one bad incident can wipe out a quarter’s profit. Without objective data, you are often fighting a losing battle against rising costs and ambiguity.

  • Escalating Costs: The financial pressure is unrelenting. U.S. insurers process over six million claims annually. Combined with rising premiums, every undefined incident bleeds the budget.
  • Operational Drag: Subjective, "he-said-she-said" investigations are a massive administrative drain. Post-crash disputes cost the industry over $1B annually, keeping valuable assets off the road and killing revenue.

The Blind Spot: Without video, determining fault is a gamble. This lack of visibility complicates coaching and leaves your drivers—and your company—vulnerable to false claims and nuclear verdicts.

The Pull Quote

"AI-powered video doesn't just record incidents—it automates your defense and accelerates your fleet's ROI."

Automating Your Defense

Adopting an AI-driven video telematics solution is no longer a luxury—it is a strategic imperative. Fragmented systems that patch together third-party hardware and software create data silos and slow down your response time. A fully integrated platform transforms the dash cam from a passive recorder into an active risk-management partner.It starts with smart, edge-computing hardware.

These dual-facing devices don't just record hours of empty road; they think. Onboard sensors automatically detect critical events—like hard braking, sharp turns, or impacts—and filter out the noise. This ensures that only high-value, relevant footage is captured and uploaded, saving your team from drowning in useless data.The true game-changer is the speed of evidence. The moment an incident occurs, the system triggers an automated workflow, securing the video clip to the cloud immediately.

There is no SD card to retrieve and no manual timeline to piece together. You get an instant, objective view of what happened, allowing you to create a First Notice of Loss (FNOL) report in minutes, not days. This turns every vehicle into an intelligent witness, providing the clarity you need to protect your bottom line.

Four Strategic Wins

  1. Slash Insurance Costs: Replace subjective arguments with irrefutable video evidence. Clear footage speeds up claim resolution and helps you negotiate lower premiums—Voyager Global Mobility (VGM) saw premiums drop by up to 15% using this technology.
  2. Maximize Uptime: Automating incident reporting removes the administrative bottleneck of investigations. By resolving claims 60% faster, you get your drivers and vehicles back on the road generating revenue sooner.
  3. Proactive Safety Culture: You can’t fix what you can’t see. Real-time alerts and video-backed reviews provide the concrete feedback needed for coaching. Early pilots showed a 40% reduction in risky driving behaviors when video was introduced.

Total Driver Exoneration: Your drivers are your most valuable asset. Video proof is the ultimate shield against false accusations and staged accidents, protecting their licenses and boosting morale across the fleet.
