Masternaut EcoDrive The complete solution for driving business change: advanced telematics, patented CANbus connectivity, consultancy and more with Masternaut EcoDrive
It was a frustrating situation where we knew the potential to cut costs was huge. But it wasn t something we could do without changing how drivers behaved. We knew the answer was only partially about software. Then we spoke to Masternaut. Depot Manager, Retail Company
The challenges of managing drivers The challenge Masternaut Eco-Drive The business impact A large proportion of fleet costs can only be reduced by changing how drivers drive Driver training programmes are expensive and don t necessarily change behaviour 90% of drivers class themselves as better than average Linking driver and vehicle data to broader business goals is problematic Many professional drivers are still sceptical about the benefits of telematics to them and their company Drivers challenge data; managers lack confidence in systems Various software options promise benefits, but finding the right solution feels confusing A complete technology, service and change management programme focused on the key to cutting vehicle costs: the behaviour of drivers on a daily basis. Our lightbar gives live feedback on an ongoing basis, like a personal coach in the cab. Our driver app gives reports that show performance over time, all based on real behaviour, and your real business environment, not classroom theory. Driver league tables let everyone visualise who has most room for improvement. Our fully customisable system lets you report on what matters to you and our consultancy team can work with you on programmes as varied as fuel reduction, speed reduction, meeting attendance SLAs, increasing jobs per day or route planning. Our training programmes and change management programmes have won the hearts and minds of drivers for many large organisations, including where unions hold influence. Masternaut is quite unlike most systems, which measure only basic data on vehicles then use standard algorithms to calculate other measurements. Our patented CANBus technology reads from multiple computer systems within each vehicle for accurate data. Masternaut focuses on the core behaviours that increase vehicle wear and tear, risk of accident and fuel consumption: Harsh acceleration Harsh braking Harsh cornering Engine idling Speeding Our combination of end-to-end owned technology, unrivalled consultancy expertise, easy reporting, bespoke account management and a customer services team dedicated to Enterprise businesses is what helps ensure the success of our customers. By tackling awareness, access to data, visibility of data, attitudes and reward together, join the scores of large organisations where we have transformed driver behaviour, safety and fleet efficiencies. Scores of research programmes on our customers in a range of industries show dramatic changes in speeding, idling, fuel use and CO2 emissions within four weeks from go-live date. Masternaut EcoDrive really does change how drivers behave. Your time and resources go on those drivers who pose greatest risk and cost your business more money. By focusing on the metrics that matter to your business you can drive improvement. Our investment in technologies, training and materials that make business change a shared endeavour, are why Masternaut customers succeed. With real data, you can make better decisions. Driver-manager conflict is reduced. Big data solutions need to capture millions of pieces of accurate data, reliably. With our roaming SIM and purpose-built hardware, firmware and software, Masternaut do that better than anyone. But the business benefit comes from reports that make the story of your data clear, and the actions you need to take, seem possible. That s where our decades of experience, our flexible and graphical reporting system and our professional services team make the difference. www.masternaut.com

The EcoDrive solution Masternaut technology adds up to a difference for drivers and fleet managers. Lightbar CANbus Driver App Simple Graphics Alerts Reports What s CANBus technology? Vehicles today have up to 70 separate electronic control units (ECUs), managing a range of engine processes. Many telematics systems are unable to gather data from your vehicles ECUs, and rely instead on general calculations to guesstimate data for your vehicles. Masternaut s ecodrive uses patented technology to measure real-time, accurate data from many separate control units, including the odometer, fuel metre, and many diagnostic elements. So you have real data from your fleet to base decisions on. Masternaut s hardware is connected to your vehicle via approved, patented clips, which unlike other options won t damage your vehicle or invalidate your warranty. This has completely changed what I expect from telematics. Everything about the product and relationship been bespoke. Procurement Manager, County Council Checklist.
