Both new products – Driver Risk Insights and Work Order Management – are focused on helping companies move from reactive to proactive fleet management and will give fleet managers the additional tools they need to improve safety records and vehicle maintenance.

With UK commercial vehicles travelling fewer miles before a collision and insurance costs surging, UK fleet managers are under increased pressure to improve safety and mitigate risk.

Driver Risk Insights is an AI-powered enhancement within the Geotab Safety Center that provides fleet managers with a new level of visibility into individual driver risk factors.

It shifts the focus from vehicle-based data to driver-specific analysis, enabling fleets, especially those with shared vehicles, to assess and predict collision risk at the driver level rather than the vehicle level.

Geotab says this more precise understanding of driver behaviour allows for targeted safety interventions, helping to reduce accidents, lower costs, and improve overall driver performance.

Personalised, driver-focused analytics will assess the likelihood of a collision, providing a percentage-based collision risk probability per driver based on driving behaviours and historical trends.

The reports also benchmark driver performance with similar drivers within their fleet or across different fleets using Geotab’s extensive anonymised aggregate data set.

Driver Risk Insights also delivers proactive coaching via the Geotab Drive App, giving drivers feedback and empowering them to improve safety habits to protect themselves.

“Fleets can’t afford to rely only on reactive safety measures,” said Sabina Martin, vice president of product management at Geotab. “With AI-powered Driver Risk Insights, we’re giving fleet managers and drivers a predictive edge – helping them prevent collisions before they happen, reduce costs, and create a culture of continuous safety improvement.”

Geotab has also debuted its new Work Order Management within the Geotab Maintenance Center, helping UK fleet managers reduce downtime and manage maintenance costs more effectively.

The tool allows fleet managers to streamline maintenance tasks through the centralised hub in the MyGeotab platform.

By consolidating scheduling, tracking, and reporting in one place, fleets can replace manual record-keeping and disconnected systems with a more efficient digital workflow.

It delivers centralised management to track all maintenance activities in one location, eliminating the need for multiple apps.

Work Order Management also improves operational efficiency by converting maintenance requests into work orders, monitoring active work orders and analysing costs and downtime metrics.

It also enables predictive maintenance through Geotab’s predictive analytics to identify vehicles at risk of failure and schedule preventative maintenance before costly issues arise.

“Fleet maintenance is a major cost driver, and unexpected breakdowns can significantly impact operations,” added Sabina Martin. “We expect that Work Order Management will help UK fleets move from reactive to predictive maintenance – improving efficiency, lowering costs, and keeping vehicles on the road.”

UK’s Go-Ahead Group crowned Geotab Maintenance Champion 

Geotab has also revealed the winners of the 2025 Geotab Innovation Awards at Connect. The annual awards programme celebrates the commercial businesses and public sector fleets leading the way in their use of connected vehicle technology and data insights to drive better outcomes for business, people and the planet.

The winners, which include commercial and public sector fleets from the food and beverage, transportation and logistics industries, public transit, public works and others, used Geotab data insights to achieve significant results, such as improving fuel economy, lowering costs, reducing idling, emissions and risk, and increasing the safety of drivers.

Nominated by Geotab partners, customers and industry peers, the Geotab Maintenance Champion Award recognises the fleet that has transformed its operations through innovative maintenance practices to save costs, time and deliver premier customer service.

Go-Ahead Group (UK) was crowned Maintenance Champion (Commercial sector) for its use of telematics across its bus fleet in the UK. Engine alerts provided in the Geotab platform have enabled Go-Ahead to take early inventions to avoid breakdowns and prevent engine failures. The system has also meant that Go-Ahead can effectively monitor battery levels, manage its entire fleet in all weathers and supports its sustainability goals.
