Verizon in a case study said San Diego-based Bill Howe Plumbing has deployed Verizon Connect Reveal mobile workforce management software and reduced its accidents by 87 percent and improved driver behaviour.
The company improved the average safety score for drivers from 77 to 97 through the use of driver coaching. The company had 16 accidents resulting into nearly $1 million in damages before the implementation of Verizon Connect Reveal software. The number of accidents dropped to two the following year after the implementation.
Tina Howe, vice president at Bill Howe Plumbing, said: “We made the choice to implement Verizon Connect, and since then our individual driving records are improving. We couldn’t be happier with the growth we’ve seen.”
Verizon Connect Reveal assists Bill Howe Plumbing to promote safety, increase productivity and efficiency, lower insurance costs and reduce fuel consumption by utilizing actionable data.
Additional benefits
When unsafe driving occurs – speeding, hard braking, fast acceleration and hard cornering – they receive alerts immediately, in addition to weekly reports, which are used when coaching drivers on their safety scores.
They receive alerts for oil changes, part replacements and other critical maintenance without having to rely on their technicians. This helps their mechanic keep vehicles in top condition.
They can install Verizon Connect Reveal on 130 vehicles within three days. Technicians also handled the backend process of inputting employee contact information into the devices to streamline the implementation process.
