This month, I’m very pleased to announce an exciting new program: the GreenRoad Fleet Elite.   In a nutshell, Fleet Elite recognizes GreenRoad drivers who have demonstrated sustained excellence in driving performance and safety.  It’s an easy-to-implement recognition program, administered by GreenRoad and designed to help you motivate and retain top drivers.

Here’s how it works.  Each year, GreenRoad sets the criteria for Fleet Elite membership.  In 2012, drivers are eligible if they sustain an overall safety score of 5 or less for the full calendar year, with at least 500 driving hours logged.  Each quarter, you’ll get a progress report showing how your drivers are tracking toward Fleet Elite status.  At the end of the year, we tabulate the results, and we announce the new inductees.  There’s no extra paperwork or administration on your part; we provide the materials to promote the Fleet Elite program, keep track of the metrics, and provide the awards.  Each Fleet Elite member receives a formal certificate of achievement and a GreenRoad Fleet Elite pin, badge or license plate (depending on what works for your organization.)  Most importantly, drivers earn the prestige of being part of the GreenRoad Fleet Elite, an accomplishment that becomes part of their professional credentials.

Anyone can participate in Fleet Elite – provided that your vehicle profiles meet our eligibility criteria.  If you are a GreenRoad customer, talk with your account manager today to find out whether you’re eligible – and join us in recognizing the best drivers on the road.

When it comes to developing a product roadmap, it’s not always new features that top the priority list. We also incorporate feedback from customers about how we can make their lives easier. With that in mind, we rang in the new year with a trip splitting enhancement that is already getting cheers from our bus customers.

If you have multiple drivers sharing a vehicle, you’re probably familiar with this problem: Driver 1 keys in, Driver 2 takes over the bus and forgets to key in… and two trips in the real world become one trip in GreenRoad (with Driver 1’s score either benefitting or suffering from Driver 2’s performance!) But now, it’s easy to split trips in Central- so that you have complete and accurate records for each driver. Just click “Trips” under Fleet Management, enter the date range that contains the trip you want to split, and click “Submit”. Then find the trip, select it, and click “Split” above the trip list. Enter the first and second driver, select the split time, and confirm. Poof – you have created two trips. See? That was easy.

We have a full and exciting product roadmap for 2012. Stay tuned for more to come.
