Telematics is the synergy between telecommunications and information technology to contact, track, and monitor remote assets such as fleet vehicles. Telematics software collects and sends data analytics remotely. To achieve this, sensors and connected telematics devices are installed in vehicles to collect and send data. This vehicle telematics data typically includes information about where the vehicle is, how fast it is going, how fast it is accelerating, how fast it is stopping, how well the engine is working, how much fuel it uses, and other important parameters. The data received is sent to a central system or computer, where it is processed and examined.

Damman Transport Logistique - Transport and distribution

Damman Transport Logistique et Organisations (DTLO) is a family-owned transport and distribution company based in Belgium. DTLO approached Rauwers, a long-time MiX Telematics channel partner that is trusted by the company, to help them implement solutions to improve driver safety as well as eliminate operational costs.

"With MiX Telematics we have achieved greater operational control in our Logistics Operations. The detailed analysis and fully customisable reports that MiX Telematics provides has helped us monitor and improve both road safety and transport efficiency."
Philippe Damman, Group Managing Director

Using MiX Fleet Manager, MiX Vision (an in-cab cameras) and MiX 4000 (an on-board computer capturing engine metrics), DTLO started measuring the behaviours of drivers (such as speeding or harsh braking) and reports were created to find the root cause of accidents. Subsequently, a driver training programme was created to coach drivers to behave more cautiously on the road to decrease the rate of accidents.

DTLO saw a 96% reduction in accidents within less than six months of implementing MiX Telematics’ solutions. Knock-on effects were a complete elimination of customer complaints about driver behaviour, a reduction in operation costs and increased compliance with regulations.
