Putting fleets in the driving seat

Telematics provider Quartix has joined forces with Towergate Insurance to help customers reduce risk and potentially reduce insurance costs as part of Towergate's Fleetcare+ product.

Quartix offers advanced driver behaviour reporting on both its InfoPlus and Corporate packages, along with its full range of online vehicle tracking tools.

With its sensitive built-in monitor, the system analyses driving style in terms of acceleration, braking and speeding. The management information, provided in easy-to-read graphical reports, then gives customers the ability to make what is said to be substantial savings in fuel costs whilst improving the safety of the mobile workforce.

With the data supplied by the system, Towergate is able to highlight the potential risks and effectively reward operators that are working towards a safer fleet.
