Our data is encrypted using SSL encryption similar to those used by banks. The customer defines who has access to their database and what they have access to within it. Our employees only access databases for troubleshooting purposes and this is upon  customer approval. To ensure complete transparency and accountability, all access into a customer database is audited and stored indefinitely within the database audit log for the customer to see.

It’s quite common for drivers to feel like they aren’t trusted when new software is being implemented. Sharing your pain points and helping them to understand all the benefits should help get them on board. Some key highlights to share with drivers are how Shell Telematics will support:

• A safer environment by managing working hours and fleet maintenance
• Improving efficiency through optimized route planning
• Reaching sustainable goals by cutting down on vehicle emissions.

Telematics systems can be a great way to remove work-related distractions from a driver’s routine by providing reactive schedules and managing client expectations. Taking this responsibility away from a driver is a great way to help reduce stress levels behind the wheel. Data on driving behaviour also gives an opportunity to conduct coaching tailored to the specific driver’s needs which can empower drivers and increase their engagement levels.

Fleet vehicles are put through a great deal of stresses and strains over time, and breakdowns and unplanned maintenance can impact productivity and profit. Our Shell Telematics helps by giving you timely information to proactively manage repairs.
