Driver behavior and phone distraction: a challenge for companies
Many businesses require the daily use of a vehicle. For business owners, car behavior has become a major concern.
50% of workplace accidents are traffic-related, which is the leading cause of death at work. In addition, 65% of professionals say they regularly use their phone while driving, a distraction that is responsible for ten deaths or serious injuries every day in France.
For smaller companies, the problem is not so simple. It's about finding a low-cost solution that can be installed quickly.
The solution: a turnkey mobile telematics application
To overcome this problem, DriveQuant offers its mobile telematics application: LÉA. Employees simply download the application on their smartphone. The application automatically detects the trips and then analyzes the driving behavior and detects the use of the smartphone while driving. 2 scores are then transcribed: safety and distracted driving, helping them to progress.
The solution is affordable as there is only a monthly subscription fee. It also includes a web dashboard for administrators to monitor employees' progress, send them messages or set up challenges based on driving scores.
The first outcome: employees are more concerned about their driving
