Guiding the future of fleets with data

In companies that own many company cars and business vehicles,

I don't know which vehicle is where at the moment.

I can't figure out why the fuel efficiency is so poor.

It is not possible to verify whether the driver is driving safely.

I'm always too late to notice when something goes wrong with the vehicle.

These kinds of problems are endless.

Leaving these issues unaddressed will lead to increased operating costs, a higher risk of accidents, and a significant increase in management workload.
Geotab is a telematics solution that visualizes these challenges with data, supporting both field personnel and managers.

What is Earlytab?

Geotab is a fleet management platform founded in 2000 and originating from Canada.
Currently, it has been implemented in over 100,000 companies in more than 160 countries worldwide, and is in operation in over 5.7 million vehicles.
We are a world-leading telematics provider that processes tens of billions of data points per day.

Benefits of vehicle management achieved with Geotab

By combining "GO," a compact in-car device that simply plugs into the OBD2 port, with "MyGeotab," web software accessible from a PC or smartphone, you can centrally manage all information related to your vehicle, driver, and costs.
It supports a wide range of vehicle types and manufacturers, including gasoline, diesel, hybrid, and EVs, and its ability to be directly integrated into existing mixed fleets is a major advantage.

List of vehicle management functions available in Geotab

Real-time operation management

The current location and travel route of all vehicles are displayed in real time on the map. Geofencing settings allow you to instantly track vehicles entering and leaving designated areas.

Driver Safe Driving Analysis

Sudden acceleration, sudden braking, sudden steering, and idling are scored. This visualizes each driver's driving tendencies, allowing for more effective safety training.

Fuel efficiency and cost management

Based on driving data, it automatically reports points for improving fuel efficiency. It identifies unnecessary idling and inefficient routes, helping to reduce fuel costs.

Vehicle diagnostics and predictive maintenance

It automatically acquires engine information and error codes to detect early signs of malfunction. By optimizing maintenance plans, it prevents unexpected downtime.

EV and decarbonization

It supports EV-specific data, including State of Charge (SOC) and State of Health (SOH). It also assists with decarbonization transition plans based on actual CO2 emission data.

List of vehicle management data obtainable from Geotab

Geotab devices acquire data directly from the vehicle via OBD2. Examples of data that can be acquired are as follows (may vary depending on the vehicle model):

[Driving and Location Information]
Distance traveled / Odometer reading / Driving route / Speed / GPS location information

[Engine and Vehicle Condition]
Engine speed / Coolant temperature / Engine oil level, oil pressure, temperature, remaining amount
Fuel level, total fuel consumption, filter level / Diagnosis Codes (DTCs) / Outside temperature

[Safety/operation information]
Sudden acceleration/sudden braking/seat belt usage/tire pressure/brake temperature

[EV-specific data]
State of Charge (SOC) / State of Health (SOH) / Energy Consumption / Charging Status

By combining this data, we can simultaneously achieve cost reduction, enhanced safety, and optimized maintenance.

In addition, Macnica supports connection and integration not only with Geotab's GO9 devices but also with other edge devices. Because it can be combined with already deployed equipment and other devices depending on the application, it enables flexible system configurations and optimal operation for the customer's environment.

Geotab GO Focus Plus | AI Vehicle Management Solution

Improving driver behavior from the very moment a risk occurs.
Geotab GO Focus Plus is a real-time safe driving support solution that integrates an AI-powered dashcam and telematics. It detects dangerous driving behaviors in real time and provides immediate feedback to the driver. Furthermore, it continuously improves safety through coaching that utilizes video and data.

Real-time voice alerts

It detects dangerous behaviors such as drowsiness, distracted driving, insufficient following distance, and sudden braking, and immediately issues an audible warning inside the vehicle, prompting the driver to correct their behavior on the spot.

Prioritizing detection of critical events using AI

AI prioritizes identifying critical risks and recurring dangerous behaviors, allowing fleet managers to focus on and respond to important events.

Rapid accident analysis using video and data

The system automatically acquires video and driving data when an event occurs. This significantly reduces review time, enabling rapid root cause analysis and response.

Centralized management of coaching workflows

From events to instruction and progress management, everything is handled on a single platform. Improvement progress can be visualized, and drivers can be evaluated.

Steps to optimize vehicle management operations with Geotab

Business process improvement using Geotab can be implemented step by step in three stages.

STEP 1

Data acquisition and visualization

First, a Geotab device is installed in the vehicle to collect data such as the driving route, fuel consumption, and driver behavior.
The dashboard allows you to see information at a glance, and aspects that were previously managed "intuitively" are now quantified.

STEP 2

Analysis and business process optimization

Based on accumulated data, inefficient routes, drivers who idle excessively, and vehicles requiring maintenance are identified.
The reporting function enables the automation of daily reports and the optimization of vehicle utilization rates.

STEP 3

Decarbonization and EV transition

EV deployment simulations based on actual driving data allow for a rational determination of which vehicles and routes should be converted to EVs.
We also support the creation of sustainability reports based on actual measured CO2 emissions.

Macnica 's support system for Geotab vehicle management

As Geotab's sales partner in Japan, Macnica provides comprehensive support from initial consideration to operational stabilization.
We don't just sell products; we carefully listen to our customers' challenges in vehicle management and work together to figure out how to use Geotab to achieve the greatest results.
Furthermore, by utilizing Macnica 's proprietary fleet management service "everfleet," we can provide vehicle data collected by Geotab in a screen and UI tailored to the customer's use case. Beyond Geotab's standard UI, we can visualize and customize necessary information in the required format, creating an environment where field personnel can utilize data more intuitively. Moreover, through the analysis and utilization of accumulated data, it is possible to develop unique services and improve business operations for our customers.
