Dash cams are extremely effective safety tools for commercial fleets. Generally, fleets install dash cams because they’re looking for better visibility into driving behaviour on the road. The footage generated from dash cams can be used for driver coaching, accident avoidance and, in worst case scenarios, evidence for exoneration. Most dash cams can either […]
Here’s the bad news: Simply having dash cams in your fleet won’t save you money on insurance premiums. Not directly, anyways. While no insurance companies currently offer a specific dash cam discount, having them in your fleet can positively affect your premium, which in turn helps keep your rates down.

Not investing in modern technology that protects your vehicles, drivers, payloads and company reputation could be perceived as downright negligent. These small cameras, mounted to a vehicle’s dashboard or on the inside of the windshield, can either be road-facing or […]
It isn’t easy being a fleet manager. Unlike a typical office environment, your direct reports are the very definition of “remote workers”. So much of your time is spent keeping track of drivers, vehicles and cargo. It’s complex and exhausting. Most fleet operations have some sort of dash cam system. And why wouldn’t they? Commercial […]

When speaking about telematics, artificial intelligence has played a critical role in the innovation and development of many solutions for vehicle-based businesses. If you have yet to implement telematics initiatives using AI advancements, it is time to do it as there are 5 noticeable benefits that arise. Artificial Intelligence […]
Last week we discussed how many fleet managers are turning their attention to dashcams as they’re not only useful for collecting video footage, but maintaining communication and improving training.
