Accidents happen. And though they can be messy, at least understanding their impact on a fleet is now easier than ever.
ARI has unveiled a new Accident Dashboard in its ARI insights® portal designed to allow fleet managers to easily see the impact accidents have had on a company’s bottom line and identify trends and patterns that might suggest additional training is needed or other changes should be made in order to prevent accidents.
Available to current ARI clients in the United States and Canada on the ARI Accident Management program, the Accident Dashboard details accident-related data across an entire fleet through easy-to-understand charts and graphs.

An “integrated marketing plan” sounds like the natural result of a sound business process. Why wouldn’t a fleet provider’s marketing plan integrate all of the tactics in support of one set of goals?
