This month, Geotab & GPSFMS introduces several enhancements to fleet safety, device management, and data accessibility. These updates improve driver safety tracking, streamline asset reporting, and introduce new tools to simplify compliance and training.
New Safety Center Features: Drive App Safety & Driver Risk Reports
Drive App Safety Tile (Coming Soon!)
A new Safety Tile is coming to the Geotab Drive App, giving drivers direct access to their safety insights from their mobile device. This feature will bring Risk Analytics data from MyGeotab into the hands of drivers, providing real-time visibility into their performance and risk factors.
Where to find it: The Safety Tile will appear on the Dashboard in the Drive App when released. Stay tuned for availability!
New Driver Risk Excel Report
Fleets can now analyze driver safety insights with the new Driver Risk Excel Report, available in both Excel and PDF formats. This report provides key safety data from the Geotab Safety Center, allowing for deeper analysis outside of MyGeotab.
Key Benefits:
Enhanced Flexibility – Combine with other reports, create pivot tables, and gain customized insights into driver risk.
Automated Delivery – Schedule reports to be emailed automatically, ensuring consistent access to safety data.
Comprehensive Driver Insights – Compare driver risk alongside asset-based reports for a full picture of fleet safety.

Improved Device Status Reporting for Offline Device Management
Managing offline devices is now more accurate with improvements to the Asset and Device Reports. Previously, offline status detection was designed mainly for GO devices, sometimes causing false alerts for fleets using GO Anywhere, OEM, or third-party devices.

Device-Specific Offline Monitoring – Alerts are now tailored based on device type for more reliable connectivity insights.
New Device Online & Offline Report – Downloadable reports provide a detailed breakdown of device status for analysis.

Increased Efficiency – Provide access to VINs, license plates, and key asset data.
