Motivating your drivers towards peak performance
Improving driver behaviour

It’s no secret that the key to safer fleets is safer drivers. Driver error is the leading cause of road traffic incidents, accounting for two thirds of all accidents on UK roads. By training your drivers in real-time, Lightfoot can help you improve driving standards across your entire fleet, reduce accident rates, and lower operational expenses too.
Lightfoot’s unique driver coaching technology corrects your drivers’ vehicle handling in the moment, making them aware of dangerous driving habits and teaching them to modify and avoid these behaviours over time. The in-cab device guides them towards a smoother, safer driving style that gives them better control behind the wheel and more time to anticipate and react to potential hazards, helping to prevent both serious incidents and close calls brought on by risky manoeuvres. Safer driving performance is maintained through the Lightfoot rewards app, where your drivers can track their progress through a weekly score, receive prizes and recognition for better driving, and participate in competitive league tables against friends and colleagues.
Reducing vehicle risk

Your drivers are only as safe as the vehicles they’re travelling in, so it’s imperative that your fleet vehicles are kept in peak condition and regularly maintained. Lightfoot is proven to cut vehicle wear and tear by as much as 45%, helping to prevent mechanical faults, physical damage, and costly downtime simply by training your drivers to drive in a safer, less aggressive way.
Lightfoot’s innovative fleet maintenance solution will also help you stay ahead of repairs and extend the life of your vehicles with preventative maintenance reminders and service alerts. A digital vehicle checklist is built into the Lightfoot app, removing the need for paperwork and ensuring your drivers are carrying out full inspections every day before they travel, avoiding any unsafe vehicles being operated. You’ll also be notified of any faults that appear on the vehicle’s dashboard whilst it’s in use, allowing you to be proactive when it comes to fixing defects.
Ensuring fleet compliance

Managing health and safety within your fleet is a vital aspect of your duty of care obligations to your drivers, and Lightfoot can help you comply with your legal responsibilities to safeguard your business. Beyond making sure your vehicles are fit for purpose and providing ongoing training for your drivers, our smart technology will aid you in other key areas of risk management, including accident reporting.
Lightfoot’s First Notification of Loss (FNOL) feature sends you an instant alert when one of your vehicles is involved in a suspected collision, enabling you to take action straight away either by contacting the driver or dispatching nearby vehicles to the location. By accurately monitoring your fleet’s journeys and sending you real-time data, our telematics software allows you to prioritise the wellbeing of your drivers and ensure your duty of care requirements are being met.
