What does it mean to drive a tracked company vehicle?

Whether driving forms a small or large part of your role, vehicle tracking can help your employer to manage business operations, reduce risks, and report on team activity. But there are many benefits for you as an employee too, from streamlined workflows, to improved safety and better job satisfaction. Working for a business that implements vehicle tracking positively impacts your day-to-day experience in several ways.

Mark trips as private and manage your personal mileage

Wave goodbye to mileage admin tasks and questions about where you have been and when – when your employer uses vehicle tracking, the system does this all for you. Retrospectively mark trips as private within your Quartix mobile app to ensure that your personal journeys are not logged as work-related.

To support your vehicle use agreement, your employer can add rules for when the tracker records your trips and when it does not, keeping any personal trips you make in your company vehicle confidential.

Join thousands of drivers improving their driving style

When you drive a company vehicle, you represent your company on the road. Employers who use vehicle tracking prioritize road safety by monitoring driver behavior across their teams. As an employee, you benefit from these insights too. Download the Quartix mobile app to see detailed reports on your driving behavior and identify any risky or fuel-thirsty habits. Set personal targets such as reducing harsh braking or maintaining a steadier speed to improve your driving scores.

Efficient vehicle safety inspections

Vehicle safety inspections are essential for maintaining a safe and compliant fleet. Save time and conduct your routine vehicle inspections directly on your mobile device when your employer gives you access to the Quartix Check vehicle inspections app.

Report any issues through the app to help your employer to facilitate faster repairs, order replacement parts, reallocate vehicles and minimize risk and potential disruptions to your working day.

Your employer sees inspections and repairs history for each vehicle and can address any recurring problems. Proactive vehicle maintenance keeps you safe on the road and productive in your work.

How your company’s use of vehicle tracking benefits you

When your company excels in managing its fleet, you experience less stress and fewer delays, making your job easier. Vehicle tracking supports your employer’s profitability and reputation, creating a more positive and secure workplace for you:

Deal with happier customers by reaching them promptly, thanks to more efficient routing and better planning from your employer.
Receive fast assistance whenever you need it, with the peace of mind that your location is visible in case of an emergency.
Feel secure knowing that the system provides evidence against any false claims about your driving behavior, attendance, or punctuality.
Gain more time to focus on your profession. Driving a tracked vehicle eliminates the need for frequent check-ins or manual timesheets. Your journey statuses, start and finish times for each trip, and your location are all visible in your company’s live tracking system.

Upskilling drivers and encouraging a positive mindset

“The culture of our company is very important to us. We work hard to cultivate it because we are a family business. So, bringing the Quartix system into play wasn’t a shock to our drivers, because we presented it as a savings tool. Those savings are seen by our drivers through our profit-sharing program. If we have expensive accidents and speed incidents, that limits our returns and, therefore, limits their compensation.”

Hear it from real businesses

“With Quartix tracking, I could navigate to the scene via the phone app. I was able to assist law enforcement at the scene, to help determine the cause of the accident by looking at speed, position, and braking of the truck at the time of the crash.”

Advanced Timber Harvesters

“We use the tracking features daily. And when a customer calls, we can tell them where their vehicle is without having to contact the driver and distract him from the road. Even the features we don’t currently use, the moment I need them, I know I have them. This gives me great comfort as a business owner.”

Miami Jet Tours

“Quartix provides all the information that we need to carry out our day to day jobs. It’s simple to use, not overcomplicated and the support is excellent. The MOT/service date report saves us having to use separate software. We even had employees trying to be the best drivers each month!”

Sunseeker Yachts

“Quartix is all about seeing what your vehicles are doing and getting the best driving style out of your drivers. It enables you to reduce accident costs, maintenance costs and see a better fuel economy.”

St Austell Brewery

“If anything goes wrong with scheduling, invoicing, or theft, we have the data right there. We know exactly where our trucks are at all time. That means a lot as a sole office manager.”

Greenridge Landscaping

“This system pays for itself every day we use it”.

Driver scores update daily and are categorised as Green (above 80) for good, Amber (50-80) for OK, and Red (50 or below) for bad.

Driver scores are based on your speed changes per second of driving. The frequency and severity of these changes are calculated, against total driving time. Acceleration and braking indexes are also formed using this information. Your Quartix driver score is the average of these indexes, subtracted from 100.

Find out more about how driver scores are calculated.

Steady driving with gradual acceleration and braking will improve your driver score, providing more time to react to road changes and reducing stress on your vehicle. See how our customers collaborate with their drivers to improve driving scores company-wide.
