“Fleets are increasingly concerned with managing rising insurance costs. Insurers are evaluating not just telematics, but in addition, want a comprehensive view of loss history.’ said Nick Bartel, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Idelic. “With our first-to-market combination of Safety Suite® and proprietary Driver Safety Playbook, fleets reduce crashes by 20% and lower losses in the first year, giving them the data to negotiate better rates faster.’ Bartel continued, ‘Bringing additional insurance expertise to the Idelic team will accelerate our development of solutions that help fleets obtain the insurance outcomes they deserve.”
Idelic’s recently announced partnership with Nationwide, to provide their customers preferred Idelic Program pricing and exclusive benefits, is one example of insurers acknowledging Idelic’s ability to help fleets reduce crashes, lower losses and ultimately become a smarter risk to insure.
Idelic’s momentum is strong. Being recently recognized on the 2022 Inc. 5000 list and seeing 63% customer growth in the past two years, aligning product innovation to better insurance outcomes is core to attracting and retaining a growing base. Idelic recently introduced Discover Dashboards, the Idelic Driver Safety Playbook, and new Professional Development Plan (PDP) templates into Safety Suite®.
- Idelic Driver Safety Playbook and PDP templates help fleets address risky driver behavior using Safety Suite capabilities including assignable PDP modules. Each PDP includes instructions on how and when to coach drivers, manager talking points, and recommended timelines and tasks.
- Discover Dashboards enable fleets to visualize their data, identify the trends and prevalence of specific risk factors, and take action before a crash occurs.
In an economic climate where preserving cash and finding expense reduction is top of mind, lowering a fleet’s insurance costs is critical. Idelic plans to continue to invest in people and technology that support their mission of improving insurance outcomes for the industry.
