CameraMatics doesn’t just provide innovative fleet safety solutions – we’re dedicated to empowering drivers and fostering a culture of continuous improvement – because safety on the road is paramount.
That’s why we’ve seamlessly integrated iCoach, an interactive driver coaching platform, directly into our CameraMatics Safety Center. With education, testing and scoring, iCoach enables drivers to become safer and more confident behind the wheel.
By focusing on safety, well-being, and responsible driving, iCoach keeps people safe and protects your bottom line.
What is the goal of iCoach?
The aim is to make the roads safer and more eco-friendly for all road users, sharing insights into the small changes that will reduce risk and make a positive impact on every journey.
Have you ever found yourself mindlessly speeding down the motorway; only to realize you’ve been on autopilot the entire time? We’ve all been there. But that autopilot mode can be dangerous, leading to close calls and accidents. And that is what iCoach aims to avoid.
iCoach does more than just teaching drivers how to park or what the road signs mean: It covers topics such as driver well-being, focus, emotional management, sharing the road, and sustainable driving practices. It elevates driver skillsets to a whole new level, mastering every aspect of safe, mindful, and sustainable driving.
iCoach helps even the most experienced drivers uncover hidden knowledge gaps and refine their daily driving routines.
By emphasizing well-being and good driver behaviour, iCoach not only reduces risk, it also boosts confidence and promotes careful driving among your employees.
Who can benefit from iCoach?
iCoach is the go-to driver training solution for everyone who drives, whether that be professionally or just to commute to and from the office. Everybody can benefit from participating in regular refresher courses to improve our driving habits.
For Fleet Managers, integrating iCoach data with the driving events section of the CameraMatics dashboard delivers even more comprehensive insights into their drivers. This enables them to tailor bespoke training sessions based on the analysis gathered and ensures drivers are equipped with the essential skills and knowledge to navigate roads safely, leading to mutually beneficial outcomes for all involved. It’s a win-win.
Incorporating gamification into iCoach can significantly enhance user engagement and motivate your drivers to continually improve their driving skills. Here are several ways this could be achieved:
Progress Tracking and Rewards: Introduce a point-based system where users earn points by completing modules, passing quizzes, and showing safe driving behaviors. These points could be redeemed for rewards such as time off or enticing gifts, incentivizing participation and achievement.
Leaderboards and Challenges: Set up leaderboards highlighting top-performing users based on driving ability scores or module completion rates. Introduce friendly competitions and challenges to foster healthy competition among users, spurring them on towards ongoing improvement.
By making gamification elements engaging and rewarding, drivers become active participants in their own improvement, leading to a safer and more positive driving experience for everyone.
Access iCoach anytime, anywhere
You can easily access iCoach directly through the Driver Coaching section of the CameraMatics Safety Centre, in our Safe Driver App or through our MySafeDrive app. It’s fully integrated with our system and compatible with all smart devices so you can access it on-the-go.
How it works
iCoach breaks down everything you need to know about driving into three user-friendly phases, creating your A-Z roadmap to safer, more efficient driving. It’s important to note that with iCoach, there is no pass or fail. Our goal is improvement across the board, fostering a positive journey towards better driving.
Phase 1: Jumpstart Your Skills:
The iCoach program starts by helping you understand your strengths and weaknesses as a driver through a quick self-assessment.
Phase 2: Master the Essentials:
Next, you’ll dive into 10 bite-sized coaching modules that cover everything from getting ready for the road and sharing it safely with others to mastering speed control, staying alert, and driving in an eco-friendly way.
These modules are packed with insights from real drivers and backed by research to ensure you’re getting the most relevant and effective information. Each one ends with a short quiz to help you solidify your knowledge and track your progress with your personalized iCoach Score.
Phase 3: Stay Sharp, Stay Safe:
Finally, iCoach keeps you engaged with monthly micro-modules. These bite-sized lessons provide regular check-ins and upskilling opportunities to ensure you’re continuously improving and driving with confidence.
Consistent practice is key to forming lasting habits. As the great Greek philosopher Aristotle once said, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
After completing these phases over 12 months, users receive a full report summarizing their performance throughout the year. This report highlights progress in modules and monthly assessments, offering insights into areas of strength and improvement.
How can iCoach benefit your business operations?
From safety to sustainability, iCoach brings a multitude of benefits to your business. And of course, any positive step towards safety and sustainability is a step in the right direction.
Improving the safety, well-being, and performance of your employees through iCoach fosters a positive work environment and enhances overall productivity. This comprehensive approach reduces the likelihood of accidents, resulting in significant savings on expenses such as insurance claims, vehicle repairs, and medical costs. Additionally, by prioritizing safety, iCoach minimizes disruptions to work caused by vehicle downtime and injuries, further contributing to increased productivity.
iCoach plays a crucial role in safeguarding your business’s reputation and brand image by promoting safe driving practices among employees. This not only minimizes the risk of negative publicity due to accidents but also builds trust and credibility with customers and stakeholders.
It also contributes to fuel savings and environmental sustainability efforts. Through optimized driving behaviours, such as reduced idling, smoother acceleration, and efficient route planning, businesses can significantly lower fuel expenses and decrease carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, aligning with corporate social responsibility (CSR) and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, integrating iCoach into your business operations ensures compliance with Duty of Care obligations, showcasing your dedication to prioritizing the safety and well-being of your employees. Through its in-depth driver training, iCoach empowers businesses to ensure the safety of all their employees on the road. This commitment not only mitigates risks but also instills confidence among stakeholders about your organisation’s adherence to safety standards.
