Platform Housing Group – Driver Management
Matt has supported the investment in a new driver training programme with Lightfoot. The app gives drivers real time coaching and alerts as they drive, as well as giving them feedback at the end of the day. It coaches them to work on areas for improvement, and challenges them to maintain strong performance. “This is more effective for us than using driver trainers,” says Matt. The company has conducted a successful trial with Lightfoot, which suggests the financial savings will be substantial. “Their ethos is to make your drivers ‘elite’ which means they score 85% or above. They then they reward drivers for driving well, which has a positive impact on our business,” he says. Matt has pushed the Lightfoot implementation on quickly so that he can use the data in renewal negotiations. “We have fewer claims and run a safer fleet and as the product was insurance endorsed, I’m expecting a positive conversation for next year’s renewal,” he says. Lightfoot offers:
- Driver behaviour tool
- Telematics
- EV compatibility
- Weekly in-app prizes for compliant driving or improvement
- Effective coaching without removing drivers from the road for specific courses
- Vehicle diagnostics to allow proactive maintenance
- Full management visibility of driving behaviour
