Fleet Management
MiX Telematics offers fleet and driver management solutions that allow businesses to collect data that can aid decision making, direct driver training, provide safeguards against risks and improve efficiencies. The software includes live tracking giving you visibility of your fleet and driver activities at all times as well as receiving instant notifications about alerts you have set up.
Driver safety analysis allows you to monitor risky behaviour and inefficient driving such as speeding, excessive idling, harsh braking and acceleration. This allows you to assess whether drivers need training. Direct and safe communication with drivers such as visual and audible alerts about their behaviour to prevent accidents.
Route planning and management to enable the most efficient routes to be taken and to improve customer service by reducing on-road delays. Route analysis can allow you to optimise journeys, and group jobs by location to minimise drive time and avoid traffic congestion or road works.
Monitoring fuel usage through monitoring behaviours and learning how to reduce wastage. It also allows you to quantify your fleet emissions and put plans in place to reduce your environmental impact.
Asset Manager
The Asset Manager solution is designed to maximise the visibility of all your non-vehicle assets both mobile and fixed. You can create an automatic, electronic registry of your assets, their status and whereabouts so you can track them on a map, manage service intervals, and bill more accurately if you rent them out.
The software provides live tracking, asset data including reminders for certification, fuel data, historical data, and reporting functionality. The software is designed to reduce the risk of losing an asset, decrease downtime, streamline processes and maximise revenue through increased asset utilisation.
GPS Tracking
MiX Telematics offers plug ‘n play or self-install options for their GPS tracking software which allows you to monitor your fleet in real-time and view historic data. The data is stored on their easy to navigate online platform which can be accessed on any device from anywhere.
The GPS tracking software allows businesses to discover over or under utilisation of vehicles and equipment, track stolen vehicles or equipment, track vehicle location to keep customers informed, and can result in lower operational and insurance costs.
Dashcams
MiX Telematics offers a range of dashcams including road-facing cameras, driver-facing cameras and in-cab cameras. Alerts can be sent as risky driving events occur so that drivers can self-correct their driving and prevent any incidents. Fleet managers can see where drivers may need additional training.
Road-facing cameras can detect any impending forward collisions, unsignalled lane departure and when they are following too closely. Driver-facing cameras can allow you to detect seat belt usage, fatigue, distraction, use of phone or smoking when driving. In-cab cameras record real-time visuals and audio footage of the cab, it doesn’t record AI events.
Driver Tracking
MyMiX Tracking is a driving tracker app that allows you to record, measure and real-time correct risky driving behaviour such as speeding, harsh acceleration or braking, distraction or mobile phone use while driving. It is an extension of the MyMiX app and is a good solution for short-term vehicles or those not owned by the company as there is no need to install hardware.
It works by the driver logging into the app at the start of a journey and mounting the phone to the dashboard. The app then runs in the background monitoring the journey, collecting GPS positions, distance, duration, max speed and driver events. All the data collected can be reviewed afterwards.
