MiX Telematics: Improving Vehicle and Driver Safety

All over the world, fleets operate in highly regulated environments full of risks and complex challenges. Every company is obliged to align with these regulations. When managing fleets, drivers, schedules, and costs, are some of the other challenges that a company has to deal with. That’s where MiX Telematics comes in. The company provides technology and software solutions to help reduce costs, improve driver safety, reduce risk, increase productivity, and schedule preventative maintenance to minimize downtime. “Our solutions put information at your fingertips, so you can solve telematics problems quickly,” says Stefan Joselowitz, Founder & CEO.

Mix Telematics, founded in 1996 by Stefan Joselowitz, is a leading global provider of fleet and mobile asset management solutions. The company’s products and services provide enterprise fleets, small fleets, and consumers with solutions for safety, efficiency, compliance, and security. Using the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery model, MiX Telematics leads telematics services providers in the USA and globally, delivering its solutions to customers in more than 120 countries.

With the MyMiX tracking app, fleet managers can maintain visibility of non-permanent fleet vehicles and contractors and monitor risky driver behavior and no hardware installation is needed. The MyMiX Tracking leverages cellphone technology to enable real-time tracking of drivers while recording, measuring, and enabling real-time self-correction of risky driving behavior events including speeding, harsh braking, harsh acceleration, and mobile phone use while driving. “Our winning formula allows you to get started with minimal effort, tangible ROI, and no interruptions to your daily fleet operations,” adds Joselowitz.

The company’s fleet management solution embraces an integrated approach to telematics that offers far more than viewing your vehicles on a map. By combining basic telematics with additional tools or enablers, fleet solutions deliver actionable intelligence to solve complex vehicle- and driver-related problems. The app-based solution is an extension of MyMiX, a comprehensive driver engagement app that also equips drivers with valuable information and alerts to improve their driving style, including immediate, in-cab audible feedback. It Monitors and records driving behavior such as speeding, hard braking, and acceleration, idling, and more with advanced on-board computing and, online information and tracking portal. It is also designed to generate customizable reports with data collected to see where and when drivers engage in risky driving behaviors.

Many organizations rely on fleet managers to control costs, maximize profitability, and mitigate the risks of their fleet vehicles. As a fleet manager, you touch every aspect of fleet operations. The MiX fleet solutions help save time and money while increasing efficiencies. While MiX’s fixed-install solution will always provide the richest of data sets, the MyMiX Tracking app provides a practical and cost-effective option to expand management coverage to short-term vehicles or those not owned by the company – without the need to install hardware. An instance that explains the company’s solutions is when they assisted Carey Worldwide Chauffeur Services—a company that provides high-quality, safe customer service using luxurious, well-maintained vehicles. With the help of MiX Fleet Manager Premium and the RIBAS Display, they have been measuring instances of over-revving, excessive idling, harsh braking, over-speeding, and harsh acceleration. Due to this safety- and efficiency-related improvements from MiX, among many others, Carey Worldwide Chauffeur Services has seen a reduction in the number of accidents and harsh braking events.

More than 750,000 mobile assets are actively managed by MiX Telematics, a number that’s steadily growing. In addition to employing more than 1000 people, MiX Telematics has a global network of more than 130 fleet partners. The telematics company has offices in South Africa, the United Kingdom, the United States, Uganda, Brazil, Australia, the United Arab Emirates, and Mexico.
