Drivosity provides a defense from community complaints about reckless delivery drivers. Some managers have reported that over 50% of community complaints about reckless delivery drivers are unfounded, and Drivosity helps validate when drivers are doing the right thing.
Unlike many other fleet management systems, Drivosity doesn’t add tasks for drivers to remember, like using their phone to input when they arrive or leave a pick up or delivery location. Instead, Drivosity uses specialized GPS technology to track delivery stages automatically without requiring driver interaction. In addition, our technology doesn’t require use of personal cell phones and data plans.
In most use cases, Drivosity partners with HTH to embed our device within branded car toppers that delivery operations are already using. Drivosity toppers use cordless, battery photosensor technology so that drivers don’t have to remember to thread power cords to cigarette lighters or to turn on the sign lighting when it gets dark out. Other non-branded device options are also available for high crime areas or company-owned vehicles.
At minimum, accidents can temporarily put drivers out of work. The severity of the accident, vehicle damage, and potential personal injuries typically impacts the length of time that a driver will not be able to earn a wage. Drivosity has been shown to reduce the frequency and duration of accidents.
Experienced drivers know that the responsibility of professional delivery driving includes safe, fast and efficient deliveries. These drivers report that “Drivosity levels the playing field” by providing performance insight and incentives on all delivery objectives, not just delivery times. Testing shows that aggressive driving can only improve arrival times by about 90 seconds, due to traffic lights timed to speed limits and the frequency of stop signs in last mile delivery. However, speeding violations, hard accelerations, hard braking and hard cornering that accompanies aggressive driving styles can increase the likelihood of an accident by as much as 450 times over a driver driving within a safe DriveScore® range. Experienced drivers know that 90 seconds is not worth personal injury to self and others, multi-million dollar lawsuits against the brand they work for, or in worse cases, putting their employer out of business.
GPS tracking helps your team know if and when you are in need of help. Drivosity’s Driver Inspire Display flags drivers who have been stopped for extended periods of time, and the “Find Me” location sharing feature has helped save the lives of drivers who became incapable of calling for help because of medical conditions or armed robbery.
Criminals often view delivery drivers as easy targets for vehicle theft and robbery. Drivosity’s GPS technology has helped recover stolen toppers, vehicles, and has even helped to bust chop shops.
