Golden Eagle Insurance Offers Onboard Advisor For Commercial Fleets
San Diego CA (SPX) Jun 08, 2009 Golden Eagle Insurance is offering California commercial fleets Onboard Advisor, a first-of-its-kind fleet management solution that helps companies increase fleet safety and productivity, save on commercial auto insurance premiums, and much more. In this challenging business climate, Onboard Advisor's real time vehicle tracking and daily driver reports can improve routing and dispatching and help fleet owners reduce expenses on fuel, maintenance, and overtime. "Onboard Advisor puts a fleet manager in the driver's seat of every vehicle with daily, weekly, and monthly performance tracking," said Thomas M. Troy, executive vice president and chief operating officer, Liberty Mutual Agency Markets' Regional Companies Group, of which Golden Eagle Insurance is one of eight regional companies. "It's the first GPS-based product to harness multiple technologies to yield direct, measurable savings as well as significant insurance discounts." Onboard Advisor's Insurance Advisor component rewards safe fleet management with an average discount of 15% in the first year with a Golden Eagle Insurance commercial auto policy, and a maximum discount of up to 40% based on fleet performance in renewal years. Companies can start saving immediately with Onboard Advisor because 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.
How Onboard Advisor Works Performance Advisor is the marketplace differentiator, providing a suite of functions not currently available on other GPS fleet systems. This safety 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. "We've developed these tools so companies can take an active role in risk management and improve safety on their routes," said Pete McPartland, president and chief executive officer, Golden Eagle Insurance. "Loss prevention works best when it's a two-way street. Our commercial policyholders strive for consistent safety records and the result is increased cost efficiencies and significant insurance discounts." With continued instability of fuel costs, Onboard Advisor's 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. Comprehensive online training for Onboard Advisor's web tools and reports is included for new customers. An online dashboard lets companies follow the progress of safety scores, fuel efficiency, and their estimated insurance discounts. Share This Article With Planet Earth
