Applied Driving Solutions for the Public Sector

Riskmapp

Our Driver safety and compliance programs are specially designed to target client’s duty of care obligations, legal compliance, best practice solutions, and effectively manage driver risks. We deliver our core services through our online web application Riskmapp, which is easily accessible by PC, laptop, tablet, or smart phone.

  • Driver Road Risk Profiling: Risk Assessment
    • An online questionnaire available in multiple languages that takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. It identifies where the risks lie and allows organizations to focus interventions in these specific areas to reduce the exposure to risk.
  • License Checking & Verification
    • All license checks are completed through Riskmapp where drivers provide license information and consent. Our direct link with the DVLA means drivers with UK-issued licenses receive their license check result instantly, in most cases. As an international provider of driver safety services, we can also verify the validity of licenses issued outside of the UK.
    • Our customized OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology supports quick, or on-the-go license checking. Drivers can take a photo of their license and upload it, and the OCR will automatically read the license and populate the necessary fields with the relevant information. A paper process is also available where required.
  • Grey Fleet Management (UK & ROI)
    • Riskmapp collects key information about personal vehicles used for driving at work. This allows us to monitor how road-worthy vehicles are and proactively issue reminder to notify when insurance, MOT/NCT and VED are due to expire. Riskmapp also gathers vehicle information, such as: CO2, age, and engine cc, providing a valuable source of vehicle MI.
  • Permit to Drive
    • Completion of the risk assessment and license verification are the core requirement for drivers to obtain a Permit to Drive. The Permit to Drive is a company-official document that verifies that drivers have successfully completed the process and are eligible to drive on behalf of the business. It acts as an approval document which should be mandatory for all employees who drive on company business.
  • Manager Access
    • Managers have their own Riskmapp login which gives access to a 24/7 reporting dashboard. Varying levels of access are available to tailor visibility per manager. Risk assessment outcomes, license information, grey fleet information, progress statuses, and online training reports are all available to download from the manager dashboard whenever you need it. Our automated alerts will also be delivered to managers through their dashboard as well as by email.

Companion+

Companion+ is our latest innovative product which analyzes driver performance and mitigates potential risk autonomously. The technology is available as a smartphone app or via telematics integration. Companion+ detects potentially risky driving events and, over time, gets to know drivers behaviors. Companion+ will then send Safety Messages and Triggered TrainingTM modules to improve in areas where risks have been highlighted. As a result of performance feedback and providing the tools for improvement, driver performance increases.

  • Companion+ Mobile Safety
    • The Mobile Safety app uses smartphone sensors to identify at-risk driving events for automatic actions that aim to positively influence driving behavior. The app is unique and requires no complicated install or plug-in that comes with a traditional telematics device. The app follows the driver vehicle-to-vehicle rather than sitting on one, specific car.
  • Personal Safety Features (Optional Extras)
    • Companion+ Mobile Safety can boost more than just driver safety. The app’s enhanced safety features and emergency call center provide personal safety solutions for use outside of the vehicle.

    Additional Features Include:

    • SOS- Press the SOS button in the app to get through to the emergency call center.
    • Triple TapTM- Subtly tap the device three times to notify the emergency call center. They will call to make sure everything is okay.
    • Check-In Timer- Set a timer in the app for the estimated task length. If the alarm isn’t canceled before the time runs out, the emergency center will call the device.
    • Walk With Me- Feel unsafe? The emergency center will stay on the phone with you until you do.
  • Companion+ Telematics
    • Companion+ Telematics can integrate with telematics providers to receive driver data, and just like the app, sends automatic Safety Messages and Triggered TrainingTM modules to drivers to improve in areas where risks have been highlighted - all without the need for manager intervention.
    • We know it can be time consuming and costly for organizations to make meaningful use of their telematics data streams. Often, they lack the subject matter experts in-house to effectively turn data into positive change. Companion+ Telematics has been designed to automate this process.

In-Vehicle Training

We have specialized training partners across the UK that are fully qualified, verified and quality checked by our Head of Training and Development. Trainers are experienced, highly-skilled and typically ex-military or ex-police personnel.

Proactive not reactive. Getting ahead and putting solutions in place before an incident occurs is the most effective way to consistently improve driver safety.

In-vehicle training may be necessary to appropriately manage drivers and encourage positive driving behavior while helping to prevent an incident from ever happening. Training is tailored to client requirements and is never recommended without due cause.

We have a variety of in-vehicle training courses to support client’s driver safety goals. Many are also applicable to the wider driver population, where necessary.

In-Vehicle Training Can Include:

  • Defensive Driving (most popular)
  • Country Familiarization (drivers abroad)
  • Refresher Training
  • Vehicle Familiarization (changing vehicle type)
  • Trailer Towing
  • 4-x-4/Off-Road Training
  • HGV Training
  • Confidence Building
  • Train-the-Trainer (Accessor)
    • We offer training services to organizations to turn key personnel into in-house driving assessors. This trainees will learn to become competent in identifying at-risk driving behaviors that require additional supportive measures. Training is delivered on-site using company vehicles and typically takes place over 2-3 days.
