Telematics specialist Abax shortlisted for four industry awards

Abax continues to gain UK industry recognition for its innovation in telematics solutions and its work on corporate social responsibility.

Abax’s innovation in telematics solutions and its work on corporate social responsibility has seen it shortlisted for four accolades

Its solutions provide a range of vehicle fleet management, tool tracking and driving behaviour services – all designed to help businesses run more effectively, efficiently and safely. And in appreciation of its work, the business has now been shortlisted for four accolades; from the Insurance Times – 2022 Tech and Innovation Awards, Brake’s UK Fleet Champions, the SME National Business Awards and the SME Cambridgeshire Awards.

After demonstrating its specialism to an expert judging panel, Abax is one of just three UK companies to go through to the second round of the 2022 Insurance Times Tech and Innovation Awards – and be in the running for the Internet of Things (IoT) Breakthrough Award.

The second-stage presentation to judges takes place next month and could see the company named as a winner at a prestigious ceremony at London’s Royal Lancaster later in the year.

Meanwhile, Abax’s partnership with insurtech Zego on data-led insurance has earned it a shortlisted place in the UK Fleet Champions Awards 2022 in the category of Fleet Safety Partnership. Zego’s ‘pay-only-for-what-you-use’ fleet insurance model uses Abax’s telematics tech to determine the premium – based on mileage or driving behaviour – and could lead to up to 80% savings when a fleet is off road.

And Abax’s commitment to a far-reaching corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme in communities where it is established has scored it a place in the finals of the SME National Business Awards.

The company’s work on tree planting programmes and its support of overseas conservation and environmental projects – among others – could see it clinch the Corporate Social Responsibility Award at the finals in December at the London’s Wembley Stadium and Sustainability Award in this year’s SME Cambridgeshire Business Awards.

Craig Allan, Abax director global partnerships, said: “We have had a tremendous 12 months at Abax; not only have we been able to grow the UK offering, but we have expanded our suite of innovative solutions to help even more business owners and fleet managers as they strive to be more efficient and productive.

“Corporate social responsibility is something that Abax takes very seriously. We are honoured to work closely with and alongside several organisations both in the UK and overseas that put ecology and the environment at their heart.”
