Geotab launches Investigations and connected safety tools to slash fleet risk

Geotab has uncovered a new suite of safety capabilities designed to make it easier for fleet managers to surface risk, investigate incidents and take targeted action.

Geotab Investigations brings existing telematics data into a unified, structured workflow

Debuted at the IAA Transportation event in Hannover, the new launches include the Geotab Investigations unified solution for resolving road incidents, alongside expanded video coaching, a redesigned Safety Overview Page and new violation detection.

Geotab Investigations solves the rising problem of fragmented fleet investigations into incidents such as collisions, customer or citizen complaints, property damage and safety violations. These investigations typically involve multiple stakeholders and the process is often manual, creating operational inefficiency alongside legal, compliance and reputational risk.

Geotab Investigations addresses this by bringing existing telematics data into a unified, structured workflow. Rather than assembling evidence across disconnected systems, safety and operations teams can locate incident-related vehicle activity, reconstruct event timelines and attach supporting materials in one place.

Aaron Jarvis, vice president EMEA at Geotab, said fleet-related incidents have cost companies billions of dollars in litigation and reputational damage, largely because critical data remains siloed.

“Geotab Investigations changes this by turning raw data into a structured, defensible system of record, providing fleet managers with the intelligence to mitigate risk and the evidence to protect their drivers, operations and bottom line,” he stated.

Alongside Investigations, Geotab is announcing three further capabilities that extend its connected safety platform.

These include expanded video coaching. Geotab’s platform, developed for the Go Focus Plus and Go Focus Pro, is being extended to Lytx Surfsight AI12 and AI14, and Xirgo KP2 cameras through the Geotab Marketplace, at no additional cost to active subscribers and without hardware changes. Managers can review events in the Geotab platform, use Smart Sequence and Magnitude Ranking to prioritise risk and connect events to the right driver with Smart Driver ID.

Geotab has also introduced a new Safety Overview Page. Set to be introduced as a native part of Geotab’s platform, the page consolidates existing safety insights into one daily-use destination. It provides a 0-100 Safety Metric, peer benchmarking, percentile ranking, high-risk driver prioritisation, behaviour trends and plain-language explanations of each metric. This helps managers quickly understand fleet safety health and determine where coaching or further investigation is needed.

Finally, the Go Focus Plus and Go Focus Pro cameras can now detect red-light violations at intersections in addition to detecting illegal U-turns. This gives safety teams video-backed insights to support targeted coaching.

The new solutions debut as a Geotab survey reveals that 95% of European fleet professionals believe the risk of driving collisions has increased over the past five years. For fleet leaders, supporting drivers requires timely intelligence that helps identify risk, prioritise coaching and measure improvement while keeping drivers at the centre of every safety programme.

Aaron Jarvis commented: “Our latest safety capabilities help fleet managers move from reviewing disconnected information to taking focused action. By bringing risk insights, coaching workflows and investigation tools together, Geotab makes it easier for safety teams to understand what is happening across their fleets and support drivers before risk becomes a collision.”
