LIGHTHOUSE POINT, Fla. & OAKVILLE, Ontario--Driver’s Alert, Inc., a pioneer in fleet safety and risk reduction, and Geotab, Inc., the telematics management system of choice for corporations, today announced a business alliance whereby Driver’s Alert will offer Geotab’s GPS vehicle tracking hardware devices (GO5 and GO4V3) as integrated options of its fleet safety management solution. Driver’s Alert Smart Risk is a fully integrated program of driver behavior identification, online training, Web-based reporting and benchmarking.

Commenting on the arrangement, Paul Milazzo, Driver’s Alert Co-founder and Managing Partner, said: “Our clients have been eagerly awaiting our integration of a GPS tracking device with our own behavior-based safety tools. The new bundled service package ranks Driver’s Alert as the first service provider to offer Learning, Safety and Fleet Management Software (LSFMS) managed by a single, easy-to-use interface. We’re giving managers real-time information on driver behavior, fuel usage, employee productivity and more while providing an easy, cost-effective way to ensure compliance with new Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) hours of service (HOS) regulations.”

Colin Sutherland, Vice President of Sales at Geotab commented on the agreement by saying: “We are excited about Driver’s Alert integrating our powerful GPS vehicle tracking devices with Smart Risk. Both of our companies have proven records of leadership and innovation. Our products complement Driver’s Alert’s end-to-end fleet safety management service by providing additional points of data to identify driving habits that can be managed through our in-vehicle driver feedback alerts as well as Driver’s Alert training. In working with Driver’s Alert, a broader range of small through large enterprise class customers will have access to Geotab’s fleet, efficiency and driving performance score dashboards, reports and events to reduce claims and operating costs.”
