ARI Simplifies Driver Performance Analysis With ARI Driver Scorecard

Customizable tool measures driver behavior, automatically assigns appropriate safety training and consolidates data into organized online view

A new tool from ARI, a leading global fleet services provider specializing in complex car and truck fleets, has simplified how fleet managers can measure the performance of their drivers—and improve their companies’ bottom lines—with the new ARI Driver Scorecard.

For years, fleet managers have been inundated by data without an efficient way of translating the numbers into action. The ARI Driver Scorecard is the first tool to allow fleet and safety managers to process all of this information, based on the priorities of the organization, into one simple score that not only empowers them to improve their team’s efficiency and safety, but motivates the drivers improve their own performance.

“With this tool, drivers can easily compare themselves to their peers,” said Rich Radi, director of the ARI Global Driver Excellence Program. “Everyone wants to excel at what they do, so we work with our clients to tap into this part of human nature and encourage better driving habits across the board.”

The ARI Driver Scorecard is able to pull data from numerous sources including telematics providers, accident claims, fuel history, MVR reports, violations and more to rank each driver with an overall score. The breadth of the tool’s measurement ability, which is provided at no extra charge to ARI clients, is only limited by the number of compatible tools already integrated into the fleet.

“Our score is like a batting average, the fairest way to compare one baseball player’s performance to another,” said Tony Candeloro, vice president, customer information systems and product development. “After looking at just one number, fleet or safety managers can take immediate action to improve high risk drivers in their fleet and recognize those showing consistently good, safe driving behavior. Once those on the low end of the scale have corrected their behaviors, they can raise the bar and work toward even better performance.”

As a part of the overall ARI Global Driver Excellence program, the ARI Driver Scorecard monitors drivers for infractions, collisions, risk levels, fuel usage and many more critical driving behavior data points. The ARI Global Driver Excellence program takes a three-prong approach to improving driver safety through proactive accident prevention, active driving monitoring and post-accident response.
