A British logistics company with 104 trucks and vans integrated a multi-camera system—with five cameras per vehicle—into its fleet platform and saw the number of damage claims drop by 30%. This carrier is not a client of AllConnects; this is an international use case from our technology partner to demonstrate what is possible with FLEET.connect.
"The cameras not only provide us with greater safety, but also control and transparency. We can respond more quickly, save money, and protect our drivers—exactly what we were looking for."
About this British carrier
This involves a major logistics company based in the United Kingdom, with a fleet of 104 vehicles—ranging from trucks to delivery vans. The question was simple: How can we make the fleet safer, and how can we keep insurance costs under control?
The challenge: costly damage claims without evidence
Fleet managers were increasingly faced with:
Rising premiums
Insurance premiums that got more expensive every year.
Slow Claims
Claim files that dragged on for a long time.
Doubt and Fraud
Ambiguous situations and "crash-for-cash" fraud, with no video footage to prove the facts.
No view of the vehicle's handling
Little insight into how the drivers actually drove.
On average, a claim for damages cost £7,200, plus additional legal and operational costs due to delays or confusion.
The solution: five cameras per vehicle, connected to the fleet platform
In collaboration with a British manufacturer of camera systems, a fully integrated multi-camera system was rolled out, linked to the fleet management platform the carrier was already using. Each vehicle was equipped with:
Five cameras
Front, rear, both sides, and the cargo area.
Live Video and Storage During Incidents
Real-time viewing and automatic recording in the event of, for example, hard braking or a collision.
Executive Monitoring
Detection of fatigue, distraction, or a seat belt not being worn.
GDPR and Reconstruction
Access control and audit trails, and an archive with multiple camera angles to reconstruct incidents.
The result
In addition, the carrier saves more than £100,000 annually in claims and legal fees. Driving behavior has improved thanks to increased awareness and targeted coaching, and with live video feeds and proof of delivery, the carrier can update customers more quickly.
