TORONTO -- July 17, 2015: AlertDriving, the leader in global driver risk management, today announced a strategic new channel partnership with Develop Training (DTL), the UK’s leading provider of accredited compliance, technical and safety training. With a history of training and assessment stretching back more than 30 years, DTL has supported over 7,000 firms with their training needs in a range of key sectors—including Utilities and Construction, Defence, Healthcare, Facilities Management, and Telecommunications. Now, as a certified ADvantage channel partner, DTL will gain critical support and sales incentives to expand its brand-new Driver Awareness Training across the UK and beyond.

“DTL understands as we do that business fleets have a responsibility to prevent death and injury on the roads”

FleetDefenseSM standardizes risk reporting in over 70 countries and 100 languages—all using assessment-based courses and High-Definition video filmed where drivers work and live.

“DTL understands as we do that business fleets have a responsibility to prevent death and injury on the roads,” explained Rob Martin, Vice President of Sales at AlertDriving. “A diagnostic tool designed to screen fleets for high-risk behaviors, FleetDefenseSM reinforces core safe driving concepts in a range of courses delivered consistently and to scale, so no two drivers receive the same program.”

FleetDefenseSM will provide key benchmarking to support DTL’s new Driver Awareness Training programme—which will score drivers on their tendency to violate traffic rules and also their cavalier attitude about safety. Since FleetDefenseSM tests each driver by accident and violation type, DTL can help fleets compare risk exposures on a global, business unit or driver-level basis so that action, including additional training, can be taken where it is most needed.
