Integrated Solutions That Make It Easier to Help Keep Drivers Safe and Productive


Fleet Driver Safety Is a Growing Concern

Fleet safety is becoming increasingly important. Many accidents are caused by poor driver behavior. These events, which increase costs and negatively affect productivity and reputation, can be prevented by implementing an automated training solution. 

Descartes’ Safety Platform helps logistics providers execute safety training programs in a no-hassle way that fits into the driver’s daily work, tracks their understanding of that training, and helps establish and reinforce a culture of safety.  

Provide managers with a dashboard that gives them visibility to training progress and documents it for legal or regulatory purposes.  


Comply with Regulations and Maximize Fleet Performance 

Descartes’ telematics and compliance solutions enable fleet managers to better focus on driver and vehicle performance and help ensure drivers are meeting regulatory reporting requirements. 

Aggressive driving and excessive idling wastes fuel, causes unnecessary vehicle wear and tear, and can lead to accidents. Descartes’ telematics-enabled monitoring can help identify poor driver performance and enable your fleet to operate at its best.  

Descartes' telematics and driver vehicle inspection reporting are designed to help automate compliance data recording and make it easier for managers to understand the status of the reporting process and present when required to authorities.
