About WORKsmart–Eco

WORKsmart – Eco gives businesses the tools to promote and easily monitor eco-friendly driver behaviour.

With it they can benchmark their fleet for improved efficiency while employees can improve their own driving performance in real time through indicators on their navigation device, whilst finding the smartest, most fuel-efficient, routes to their destinations.

The WORKsmart – Eco system includes the ecoPLUS device, which feeds data directly from a vehicle’s engine to give managers a real-time view of the fuel efficiency of every fleet vehicle, showing where and when fuel was wasted.

OptiDrive displays management performance indicators for speeding, fuel efficiency, idling and braking – all on one easy-to-read indicator bar in the fleet management WEBFLEET software system. In addition, Active Driver Feedback gives employees live feedback on their performance, such as fuel efficiency, excessive steering and braking, on their in-cab PRO navigation device.
