Profile:
|
|
IRIS is a company known for providing effective software solutions to its customers regarding fleet risk analysis, its management, accident reconstruction and insurance services. We’re based in the Midlands, UK and our work takes us worldwide.
IRIS is a team of experienced professionals who understands the needs of the companies managing huge fleets and therefore, it has developed systems to help them manage their fleet, which even won European Risk Management Product of the Year, 2008.
We integrate software with GPS, WiFi, GPRS and RFID technology. The tracking and vehicle telematics designed by our team can help such companies supervise their vehicle utilization, analyze and identify risky drivers, prevent accidents and also reconstruct accidents. We have developed a mileage accounting system, which allows the companies to keep a track of the mileage of the company owned cars so that they know whether its’ being used for productive purposes by the employees. Basically, companies have the ability to monitor and dynamically account for all business/private mileage that their employees undertake. Also, a loner system has been developed by the team for the drivers travelling alone and helps them feel secure at all times knowing that they can be traced if they get into difficulty.
IRIS through its FSA regulated insurance arm can guarantee a saving of 10% on insurance premiums for all fleet owning companies. Even more savings are possible for those that implement the European Fleet Risk Management Systems into their cars, vans, lorries, buses, taxis, etc . This is additional to the fleet and staff efficiency that can be obtained.

Vehicle Tracking Software: Risk Analysis and Fleet Management
It carries out fleet risk supervision by filtering cases on the following basis:
- Driven time of day
- Driving outside of defined geographic zones
- Driving above defined speed limit
- Total distance driven
- Acceleration profile analysis
This helps in understanding fleet activity better and identifying risky drivers. Thus, it helps in reducing accidents and insurance costs. It also helps in reconstructing accident scenarios to identify who was at fault.
