Driving Safety

Protect every employee who drives for work.

AI-powered driving safety for field forces, without invading their privacy. SafetyConnect's Driving Safety detects distraction, fatigue, speeding, and harsh driving in real time, then helps your team build safer habits with the SafetyConnect Score.

The field force problem

Your most exposed employees are the ones you can see the least.

Service engineers, sales teams, and technicians spend the working day on the road, alone, in the highest-risk activity most companies ask of their people. Until something goes wrong, you have no visibility into how they drive.

On the road, alone

Field teams drive more kilometres than anyone in the company, often in their own vehicles, with no one alongside them.

Telematics shows dots, not behaviour

GPS tells you where a vehicle went. It does not tell you about the distraction, fatigue, or overspeeding that actually causes crashes.

You find out after the crash

With no behaviour data, the first real signal is the incident report. By then it is too late to coach the driver who needed it.

How it works

How SafetyConnect's driving safety software works.

No hardware and no dashcams. Three steps, running on the phone your team already carries.

BUSINESS · ON
01

The driver app runs in the background

On the employee's own phone, business-hours-only by default. It reads GPS, accelerometer, and gyroscope. No camera, no in-vehicle hardware, no installation.

DistractionHarsh brakeOverspeed
02

AI detects risky driving in real time

Distraction, fatigue, harsh braking, harsh acceleration, overspeeding, and sharp cornering, scored at trip level with the context behind each event.

Coaching and recognition close the loop

Drivers see their own SafetyConnect Score and trends. Managers see group risk patterns. Recognition rewards safe driving, not just penalties for unsafe driving.

Capabilities

Everything your safety team needs in one app.

A complete driving safety toolkit in one app, not separate tools your team has to stitch together.

Driving behaviour monitoring
AI-powered analysis of distraction, fatigue, harsh acceleration, harsh braking, overspeeding, and phone use, captured by phone sensors as the trip happens. No hardware required.
SafetyConnect Score
A single, defensible safety metric per driver and per team. Gamified leaderboards drive recognition for safe driving, not just penalties for unsafe driving.
Condition detection
Real-time detection of fatigue and drowsiness signals during a trip, so a tiring driver is alerted in the moment and the manager sees the risk building before it becomes an incident.
SOS
One-tap emergency alert from the driver app. Emergency contacts and admins are notified instantly with the driver’s last known location and trip context.
Incident & near-miss reporting
One-tap reporting from the driver app. Photos, location, witness details, and trip context attached automatically. Closure tracked in CAPA Tracking.
Audits & checklists
Configurable safety checklists for drivers in the field. Vehicle pre-trip inspections, customer site inspections, and JSAs, captured on mobile and audit-ready by design.
Contextual learning (LMS)
A learning management system that adapts to the driver, not a static video library. New joiners are onboarded with defensive-driving training, then receive learning matched to their own behaviour: a driver flagged for harsh braking gets the smooth-braking module. Short micro-learning videos are followed by quizzes, with every assignment tracked to closure.
Knowledge Centre
Driving SOPs, emergency protocols, safety policies, and reference documents, accessible offline on every driver’s phone. Update once, push to the whole team.
Broadcast
Real-time safety advisories to the driver app, weather alerts, route restrictions, policy changes, monsoon advisories, targeted by group, region, or shift.
Operations insights
Productivity reporting beyond safety: average time at customer locations, route efficiency, and idle time. The data your operations team has been asking for, in the platform your safety team owns.
MANAGED SAFETY SERVICES
Don't want to run this in-house? We'll run it with you.
Driver counselling, new-process adoption, management reporting, and program reviews, optional services for customers without a dedicated safety analytics team.

Privacy & recognition

Built to protect your people, not to watch them.

Every conversation about driving safety eventually comes to the same question: Are we surveilling our employees? SafetyConnect is built so the answer is always no.

Read our Trust & Security commitments
Business-hours-only mode
Default-on. Trips outside working hours are not captured unless the employee chooses to record them.
No camera, no audio
Phone sensors only, GPS, accelerometer, gyroscope. No video, no photos, no audio.
Role-based access
Managers see their team. HR sees compliance. Employees see their own scores. Nobody sees more than they need.
Recognition first
The SafetyConnect Score rewards safe driving and surfaces top performers. Coaching is the loop, not punishment.
ISO 27001 certified
Encryption, audit logs, and enterprise-grade access controls are standard.

ROI
Typical payback period
"Safety is a top priority, but road safety was where we were lagging behind."

We had the misfortune of losing employees to road incidents in the past. SafetyConnect was the perfect tool we were looking for. The app provided great insights into driving behaviour, which helped our employees develop corrective behaviour leading to a lower number of road incidents.

FAQ

Common questions on Driving Safety.

Do you require hardware in vehicles?
No. The driver app runs on the employee's existing smartphone and uses standard phone sensors. No dashcam, no in-vehicle hardware, no installation.
What's captured outside work hours?
Nothing, by default. Business-hours-only mode is on by default. The employee can opt in to record personal trips, but the organisation can disable personal-time capture entirely.
Will it work in low-connectivity areas?
Yes. Trips are captured offline and synced when the device is back online.
Can we adjust how sensitive the detection is?
The definition of an at-risk behaviour (ATB) event follows established safety norms, so your score stays consistent and defensible across teams. Within those norms we can tune the sensitivities to your organisation’s preferences, speed thresholds, harsh-braking g-force, and allowed phone use, by industry, geography, and shift.
How does coaching work?
Drivers see their own SafetyConnect Score and trip-level events in the app. Managers see group-level patterns and can route targeted coaching to specific drivers. Most customers run a weekly review cadence with their safety committee.

METHODOLOGY

The SafetyConnect Score, explained.

A defensible safety metric that drivers, managers, and safety leaders can all agree on. Here's how we built it.

PRIVACY

Why business-hours-only is the question every EHS Head should ask vendors.

If the answer is hand-wavy, you're looking at a surveillance product wearing a safety badge.

CASE STUDY

How a leading FMCG cut major accidents by 73% in 18 months.

The deployment, the coaching cadence, and the data that turned a top-five road risk into a top-quartile safety program.
