P.N. Daly Ltd, the leakage detection, water efficiency and new utilities network specialist, has used an AI dashcam solution from Ctrack to improve driver performance, enhance road safety and cut insurance costs. The cameras have helped reduce collision rates across the company’s 400-strong van fleet, while contributing to a 5% improvement in claims frequency and a 40% reduction in average claims costs.
“The installation of forward-and driver-facing dash cameras has proven to be an invaluable asset to our operation and our efforts to improve driver performance,” explains Nik Darby, Contract Manager at P.N.Daly Ltd. “The positive impact on incident reduction, insurance costs, and overall operational safety cannot be overstated, creating a responsible, secure and more efficient environment for our mobile team.”
The AI dashcam solution includes a forward-facing camera that captures footage of the road ahead and a driver-facing lens providing a greater understanding of risk and distraction within the vehicle. As a result, P.N. Daly’s head office and local managers have access to video and data of collisions, near misses and other driving events, while drivers are alerted to any high-risk actions such as mobile device use, not wearing a seatbelt, eating and drinking, and eyes off the road.
The ability to review video evidence has enabled P.N.Daly to streamline its claims process by cutting down on response times and having greater understanding of what has occurred. This has contributed to an improved risk profile, which in turn has led to lower insurance premiums. Meanwhile, the comprehensive reporting capabilities has allowed the company to effectively monitor and address distraction events, which has been instrumental in enhancing driver performance and behaviour.
“Everyone at P.N.Daly has been thoroughly impressed with the telematics services and solutions provided by Ctrack, and we would recommend them to any business looking to enhance fleet safety and efficiency. Their technology and insights have truly transformed our approach to vehicle and driver management,” adds Nik Darby.
Steve Thomas, Managing Director of Ctrack UK commented: “We take a true partnership approach with our customers to develop powerful technology solutions that deliver genuine value and evolve to meet changing fleet requirements. This means we have a growing number of longstanding customers such as P.N.Daly that trust our advanced telematics to better protect their employees, business and communities they operate in.”
