Ohio Casualty Introduces Commercial Fleet Management System

July 17, 2009

Fairfield, Ohio-based Ohio Casualty, a Liberty Mutual Agency Markets regional company, has introduced Onboard Advisor, a fleet management system that helps companies increase commercial fleet safety and productivity, save on commercial auto insurance premiums and more.

The company said Onboard Advisor’s real time vehicle tracking and daily driver reporting capabilities can improve routing and dispatching and help fleet owners reduce expenses on fuel, maintenance, and overtime. There are no upfront fees for the hardware and installation, and only a low monthly per-unit service fee for the fully integrated fleet management solution.

Onboard Advisor’s Insurance Advisor component rewards safe fleet management with an average discount of 15 percent in the first year with an Ohio Casualty commercial auto policy, and a maximum discount of up to 40 percent based on fleet performance in renewal years.

The Mobile Advisor component is the GPS-based technology that updates a vehicle’s position in real time. For greater efficiency, fleet managers can map and optimize routes as traffic circumstances warrant. Mobile Advisor can also send e-mail alerts about extreme driving or let managers know if a vehicle is driven outside of its designated territory.

The Performance Advisor component gathers in-depth driver and vehicle data and sends analysis to a fleet manager’s desktop dashboard. Performance Advisor uses onboard sensors to identify unsafe driving and inefficient fuel economy and scores each vehicle. Color-coded icons show exactly what driving behaviors contributed to high, medium, or low risks during all vehicle trips. This allows managers to pinpoint driving behavior and improve safety and fuel efficiency.

The Fuel Advisor component is a fuel management system that helps businesses monitor and control spending. The no fee fuel card provides up to three cents off every gallon of gas purchased at most major gas stations nationwide. Fuel Advisor monitors expenditures online by capturing driver ID and odometer readings to ensure a company vehicle is being fueled and unapproved purchases are not being made.
