For more than 40 years, the utility and telecom industries have enjoyed rapid growth, driven by explosive tech advancement and infrastructure development. However, as providers look for ways to improve safety performance and make better use of equipment, it’s clear that challenges remain. 

Fortunately, Motive’s world-class Integrated Operations Platform delivers the technology and insight needed to tackle these challenges, paving the way for safer, smarter operations.

Protect your workforce

Often, the most dangerous part of any job is the journey to the next jobsite. New data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that transportation incidents are the most frequent type of fatal event in the workplace, accounting for 36% of all occupational fatalities.

The Motive AI Dashcam transforms driver safety, detecting and alerting to unsafe driving behaviors in real time. By curtailing hard braking, distracted driving, and other dangerous habits, Motive can reduce accidents, lower claims costs, and build safer communities. Here’s how we go about it:

  • Proactive Coaching: Real-time in-cab alerts from the Motive AI Dashcam coach drivers instantly whenever unsafe driving habits emerge, improving safety across the fleet.
  • Self-Coaching Tools: With the self-coaching tools in the Motive Driver App, drivers can coach themselves to safer performance on their own schedule, without manager involvement. By allowing drivers to improve unsafe driving habits independently, the Motive Driver App creates a proactive safety culture built on accountability.
  • Fewer Incidents: Improved awareness and timely driver coaching lead to fewer accidents, protecting employees as much as the business.

Customize safety platforms for specific businesses needs

No two fleets are the same, and safety programs shouldn’t be either. Motive’s customizable safety platform allows utility and telecom businesses to address their most pressing safety concerns with a solution designed to meet their specific needs.

For example, businesses can choose to generate more safety alerts for new operators, and fewer alerts for seasoned professionals. They can focus exclusively on cell phone use at the wheel, or ignore seat belt violations.

Whatever their safety goals, utility and telecom businesses can tailor their safety programs however they choose — and that’s exactly how fleet management should be.

Simplify fleet operations with advanced telematics

Managing a large, diverse fleet is easier with Motive’s robust telematics solution. Whether it’s bucket trucks, work vans, construction equipment or other specialized equipment, every asset and vehicle can be tracked and managed on a single, unified platform.

  • Motive’s real-time location tracking lets you provide customers with accurate ETAs, and enables field workers to respond quickly during an outage.
  • Fleet utilization and maintenance insights help optimize vehicle use, so assets don’t sit idle and lose money for the business.

Gain visibility on and off the jobsite

Managing field operations requires improving outcomes and protecting against false claims. Without proper visibility into road and jobsite activity, teams are exposed to unexpected danger, legal disputes, and gaps in compliance. Fleet managers and safety leaders need reliable tools to oversee operations in real time. As a result, they can maintain the highest safety standards, both in the field and on the road.

The Motive AI Omnicam, a 360° camera system equipped with rear- side-, driver- and road-facing cameras, is a game-changer for field operations, providing unmatched visibility in situations where it matters most. Here’s why the AI Omnicam is so impactful.

  • Targeted Monitoring: Cameras can be positioned inside bucket trucks and in other critical areas to ensure proper PPE use and adherence to safety standards.
  • Comprehensive Coverage: 360° visibility addresses blind spots so that policies are enforced consistently.
  • Reduced Liability: Motive’s high-definition video evidence helps protect teams from false claims, leading to faster dispute resolution and fewer legal risks.

Control maintenance costs and increase uptime

Managing maintenance costs and increasing uptime are a priority for any fleet. Motive’s maintenance solution allows organizations to track maintenance requirements, monitor real-time fault codes, and customize inspection reports. As a result, managers can schedule maintenance proactively, reducing downtime and costly repairs.

Manage fuel spend and prevent fraud

As fleet sizes grow and fuel costs stay high, managing costs and preventing fraud have become top priorities for utilities businesses. AI-powered tools such as the Motive Card provide a smart, effective solution. By detecting and preventing unauthorized fuel transactions in real time, the Motive Card allows fleets to avoid unnecessary financial losses.

AI-powered fraud alerts instantly flag suspicious transactions. By leveraging shared data between fleet telematics and Motive Card transactions, fleets can automatically identify fraudulent activity and act quickly to protect their business.

Key Motive Card features include:

  • Alerts when vehicle location and spending location don’t match.
  • Notifications when fuel tank levels differ from purchased fuel volumes.
  • The ability to freeze cards or auto-decline transactions instantly.
