Richfords is a specialist fire and flood restoration company operating across South England, providing emergency response services to insurers, loss adjusters and homeowners around the clock.
Running a two-month Geotab Vitality pilot from October 2025 with 20 drivers, Richfords rolled the programme across its full 53-vehicle fleet in January 2026. By the end of the pilot, the company had recorded a 59% improvement in safe driving behaviours, a 22% reduction in collision risk and a 411% return on investment.
is one of the UK's largest public transport operators, running approximately 6,150 buses across the UK and Ireland, including the UK's largest zero-emission bus fleet.
Go-Ahead's engineering team uses Geotab telematics to monitor faults in real time across its 6,150-vehicle fleet, with a 24/7 operations centre enabling engineers to instruct drivers instantly when critical faults are detected. The system has prevented catastrophic engine and gearbox failures, flagging 8 to 10 vehicles a month for low oil pressure at Go-Ahead London alone, saving up to £20,000 per prevented engine failure and reducing the amount of time buses are spent off the road.
Picnic is a fast-growing online supermarket delivering groceries across the Netherlands, Germany and France, operating a fleet of over 5,000 custom-built, fully electric delivery vehicles.
Picnic developed a Vehicle-to-Trip algorithm powered by Geotab data, drawing on state of charge, energy-use profiles and GPS, to optimise trip assignment across its 5,000-strong electric fleet. The result: a fleet reduction of 5 to 13% in the Netherlands, delivering more orders with fewer vehicles and lower energy demand.
Marymantes Speed SRL is a Zaragoza-based road transport and logistics company operating an international fleet across Europe.
Using MyGeotab's tachograph system to monitor driver working hours in real time, Marymantes increased average driver working hours by more than 10% while maintaining full compliance with Spanish labour and rest time regulations, a record confirmed during a 2025 government labour inspection where AFA-generated reports provided documented evidence of compliance and helped the company avoid penalties.
Barhale is a leading UK civil engineering and infrastructure contractor, operating one of the industry's largest and most complex vehicle fleets.
By integrating Geotab telematics with SureCam AI video, Barhale combined fault codes, camera events and driver behaviour data into a single operational view, using Geotab's Collision Risk Management analytics to identify risk before incidents occur. Despite 40% fleet growth, the company reduced preventable collisions by 8.8%, eliminated high-risk drivers entirely, and negotiated a 2.7% reduction in insurance premiums.

Trusted by more than 100,000 customers — from small and mid-size fleets to Fortune 500 enterprises and public-sector organizations, including the U.S. federal government — Geotab connects approximately 6 million vehicles and assets and processes 100 billion data points daily.
