Data used to tell Openreach what happened. Now it tells them what to do next. Aaron Jarvis, Vice President EMEA at Geotab, works closely with Openreach's fleet team, and he's watched their relationship with data shift fast: from a team purely focused on operationalising a huge fleet of engineers and vehicles, to one that uses Geotab's data as an agent of change. "They're really looking to us to support them with a data point or an insight that can allow them to make an operational change in their business: to gain an efficiency, to make someone safer, or to make something happen on time when it otherwise might not have." That's the difference between having data and actually acting on it, and it's the question every fleet manager should be asking about their own operation.

"We used to find out something was wrong when it broke. Now we'll know before it does." James Tappenden, Managing Director, Fibre First & Shared Services, Openreach, one of the UK's largest field fleets, on what real-time data from Geotab is starting to change for his team. Geotab's predictive maintenance analytics can flag when a vehicle component might fail before it really fails, turning a big reactive repair into a small routine job. Its data can also help time EV charging around when energy is genuinely green, rather than just plugging in at 4pm. "This isn't looking at reports. This isn't looking at dashboards. This is the sort of thing that's really going to help us drive business performance forward, in the moment." That's the shift from managing a fleet to running it on live intelligence.

How to know if your fuel cards are leaving your fleet exposed ↴ Watch for these three spend leaks: - Card skimming - Off-shift fueling - Buddy fueling All three can happen because your fuel card isn’t connected to your vehicle data. A legacy fuel card will approve the purchase even if the truck’s not at the pump or the tank is already full. Without that connection, nothing stops these transactions at the pump. That means these problems go unnoticed until your team reviews the transactions later. This month’s Fleet Intel breaks down common fuel spend leaks and how connecting your fuel card to live vehicle data stops them at the point of sale 👇

24,000 people. Over 23,000 vans. More than 30 million customers. That is the scale Openreach operates at every single day. And at that scale, data is not a nice-to-have. It is how you run the business. That is exactly why they chose Geotab. With Geotab, Openreach can now: 📊 Use real time vehicle data to make faster, better operational decisions 🔧 Move from reactive to predictive maintenance, predictive safety coaching, and predictive fleet management 🌱 Build a data-backed roadmap toward net zero by 2031, using EV intelligence to close the gaps current vehicle data leaves behind 🌐 Manage not just a fleet, but the entire ecosystem of the business What stands out about this partnership is the trust behind it. Built collaboratively over the last year, it has allowed both teams to be agile: solving problems as they emerge and getting ahead of ones that have not arrived yet. This is what it looks like when one of the UK's most critical infrastructure businesses decides to become an innovator of fleet.

Visit Geotab at Booth #17001 at the American Trucking Associations Management Conference & Exhibition (Charlotte, October 17-20) to see how trucking fleets are protecting drivers and their bottom line with data ⬇️ Trucking fleets can't afford to lose sight of safety when margins are tight. With Geotab, fleet managers can use data to address safety risks, manage operating costs and tackle the daily challenges that keep trucks off the road. Every mile matters. So does every dollar. Find us at Booth #17001 from October 17 to 20 to explore what smarter fleet decisions could look like for your operation.

Fleet leaders: We asked drivers what makes them feel most appreciated, and this is what they told us: Getting home safely to their families. (Here’s what behavioral science says to do about it ⬇️) Building a culture that supports safer driving 365 days a year is one of the most meaningful ways to show drivers you value them. But the question is: how do you build that kind of change across a large fleet? Step 1: Look beyond the rewards The question you should reflect on is not, “What should we give drivers?” It is: What behavior are we trying to support, and can drivers clearly see the connection between their actions, their progress and the recognition they receive? If that connection is missing, rewards can drive participation without telling you whether the program is actually changing behavior. That is why the reward should sit inside the feedback loop, not at the center of it. A stronger program gives drivers: → Useful feedback they can understand and trust → Personal safety goals they can act on → A clear way to see their progress → Recognition when they improve The goal is to help drivers know how they are doing, what they are working toward and when their progress is being recognized. Geotab Vitality exemplifies this approach. It uses telematics-based feedback and personalized weekly safety goals to help drivers track their progress, with rewards tied to goal achievement. For fleet leaders, participation and behavior change should be measured separately. Sign-ups and rewards redeemed tell you whether drivers are engaging with the program. They do not, by themselves, tell you whether driving habits are changing. Track the specific behaviors your program is designed to support over time. That is what separates a rewards program from a driver appreciation strategy. If you want drivers to feel valued, make that care visible in the safety program they experience every day.
