See how Motive fleets are saving time, staying focused, and getting more out of every mile.
Innovation takes many forms. And as we saw at Vision 25, Motive customers are finding new ways to innovate every day. For Motive fleets, productivity isn’t about doing more. It’s about achieving more with less effort.
By streamlining operations, avoiding delays, and staying focused on the work that matters, Motive fleets are making progress where it counts.
Here are their top tips for helping your fleet achieve more, day in and day out.
Locate equipment faster (even the small stuff)
You can’t use what you can’t find. And every minute spent searching for an asset is a minute wasted.
With the Motive Asset Gateway, Motive customers are getting valuable time back. With real-time location data and easy-to-use dashboards, they’re maximizing use of their equipment and keeping teams moving.
And when managers know where equipment is and how it’s being used, they can make smarter decisions about what to move, what to buy, and what to retire.
Use driver apps to maximize productivity
When drivers are stuck juggling forms, delivery notes and checklists, it’s easy for important tasks to slip. The Motive Driver App keeps drivers focused and on track.
With custom forms, DVIR checklists, and prompts to review safety events and logs, Motive’s Driver Walkthroughs feature guides drivers through the tasks they need to complete.
The process is structured and easy to follow, meaning fewer missed steps and less back-and-forth with the office. And when walkthroughs are triggered by time or geofenced location, drivers know what to do and when to do it.
With Driver Walkthroughs, drivers won’t feel blindsided. They can see what you’re seeing as managers of your fleet. You’re left with an easy, streamlined walkthrough to make sure the things drivers need to do on a daily basis actually get done.
Use geofencing to stay in sync
A geofence is a virtual perimeter around a physical location. It encompasses everything from a warehouse yard to a loading dock to an entire city block. And for fleets managing dozens of stops and thousands of miles, a geofence can be a powerful tool for productivity.
Managers don’t have to guess when drivers will arrive, leave, or linger, because they get alerted to these movements in real time. Visibility removes hours of manual work, keeping workers on track and customers updated on arrival times.
We had a lot of inspections. I wanted to control that. I set up geofences around every weigh station in all the regions we operate in. Now I know every time a truck enters a weigh station. I can go to that alert and see the time stamp. I can see if the driver is at the weigh station, behind it, or just drove through. Geofencing has saved us so much time.
Build reports to build engagement
Data alone doesn’t drive productivity. Unless, of course, it’s easily accessible. Operations teams are using Motive to build custom dashboards, trigger scheduled reports, and route updates to the right people at the right time. Information flows exactly where it needs to, when it needs to.
And when reports are built once and automatically distributed, teams can stop chasing emails and start focusing on impact.
Coach drivers to prevent accidents and reduce downtime
When an accident happens, the ripple effects go far beyond the initial collision. There’s lost momentum, missed shifts, low morale. The list goes on. Proactive coaching helps fleets stay ahead of these challenges, protecting drivers and the business.
With Motive’s streamlined coaching, improving safety is both productive and effective. Managers review data, connect with drivers, and assign training based on harsh braking, distracted driving, and other unsafe behaviors. As a result, the whole fleet has the potential to improve. And the business keeps moving.
With Motive, we’ve achieved cost savings of approximately $1.3M annually in direct losses. Including indirect costs, such as downtime, injured employees, and legal expenses, our total savings reach about $6.5M. That’s a 2,000% return on investment.
Make productivity a point of pride
People work harder when their progress is recognized. Motive fleets are turning data into recognition, celebrating Safety Scores, calling out top performers, and giving drivers a reason to take pride in daily wins.
One of the aspects we like about Motive is the positive reinforcement our drivers get with the AI Dashcams and the opportunity to use Motive Safety Scores to encourage and reward drivers. Rewarding employees is equally as important as developmental feedback, and Motive allows the opportunity to show them they’re appreciated.
The bottom line
Fleets making the most progress aren’t working more hours. They’re spending less time chasing down answers and more time moving things forward.
If that sounds like the shift you need, reach out. We’re here to help.
