Element Announces Connected Data(TM) to Improve Safety and Optimize Fleet Performance
Connected Data(TM) unlocks the power of the connected vehicle for fleet management
TORONTO, ONTARIO and SPARKS, MARYLAND--(Marketwired - Aug. 14, 2017) - Element Fleet Management (TSX:EFN)
today introduced Connected Data™, a new service offering that delivers information and insights to address key fleet performance
challenges. The service
integrates vehicle data provided by OnStar for General Motors vehicles with active OnStar accounts, or from an aftermarket
device for non-GM vehicles.
Connected Data allows companies to choose the data feeds they need to optimize their fleets, including odometer reporting,
vehicle diagnostics and driver behavior data such as speeding and harsh braking, after first obtaining appropriate driver
consent. Fleet managers can view this data in Xcelerate, customized reports, and through Element's strategic fleet
consultants.
"Today's fleets are in a unique position to harness the power of connected vehicles across an increasingly connected digital
fleet workflow, one that integrates data from drivers, suppliers, and the vehicle itself," said Michele Cunningham, senior vice
president, Products & Services, Element Fleet Management North America. "Connected Data delivers just the subset of vehicle and
driver data that customers need, making it easier to gain insights and take action in areas like optimal replacement, preventive
maintenance, and assessing and mitigating driver risk and more."
Businesses can integrate data from their connected vehicles, leveraging the customized insights and tailoring these analytics
to meet a variety of reporting, regulatory or general business requirements. Element's Connected Data solutions are
available in three packages:
- Odometer - Improves mileage reporting compliance, helps ensure timely preventative maintenance, and
increases visibility into vehicle utilization for optimal replacement decisions.
- Fleet - Adds to the value of the Odometer package with integrated location and diagnostics to reduce
maintenance costs and maximize overall utilization.
- Safety - Incorporates data from the Fleet package by adding information on driving patterns such as hard
braking, fast acceleration and speeding that can be used to identify high-risk drivers, coach drivers on unsafe behaviors, and
help improve safety and reduce accident expense.
