EasyTrack with EasyDrive: From Vehicle Data to Better Driving Behavior

Greater control over your fleet from a single central platform

Knowing where your vehicles are is valuable. Understanding how they’re used, where unnecessary costs arise, and how drivers operate is what truly takes your fleet management to the next level.

EasyTrack gives you real-time insight into vehicles, routes, trips, and stops. With the EasyDrive Add-on, you can add driving style analyses, driver scores, fuel analyses, and CO₂ insights.

This brings all relevant fleet data together in a single, easy-to-use platform. That helps you reduce costs, provide targeted coaching to drivers, and operate your fleet in a smarter, safer, and more sustainable way.

From Tracking Vehicles to Improving Performance

Many organizations use vehicle tracking to see where vehicles are located and which trips have been taken. This provides an overview, but it doesn’t tell the whole story.

After all, how efficiently are the vehicles being used? How significant are the differences in driving behavior? Where is fuel being wasted? And which drivers could further improve their driving style with targeted coaching?

Without reliable data, these questions often remain unanswered. Decisions are then made based on assumptions, isolated observations, or general fuel consumption figures.

The combination of EasyTrack and EasyDrive reveals connections between:

• vehicles and locations;
• trips, routes, and stops;
• drivers and driving behavior;
• speed, braking, and acceleration;
• idling;
• fuel consumption;
• CO₂ emissions;
• repairs, maintenance, and tires.

This allows you not only to review past performance but, more importantly, to make targeted improvements.

What is EasyTrack?

EasyTrack is Rietveld’s online fleet management platform that centrally consolidates vehicle, trip, and driver information. You can see in real time where vehicles are located, which routes were taken, and where stops were made.

The platform supports, among other things:

• real-time vehicle locations;
• Track & Trace;
• automatic trip logging;
• historical trips and routes;
• insights into stops and vehicle usage;
• automatic reports;
• communication and task tracking;
• integrations with onboard computers and business software.

EasyTrack replaces manual overviews and separate records with a single central source of information. This saves time, reduces the risk of errors, and gives you more control over daily operations.

What does the EasyDrive Add-on offer?

The EasyDrive Add-on expands EasyTrack with analyses of driving behavior, vehicle performance, and fuel consumption. This allows you to see not only where vehicles are driving, but also how they are being driven.

EasyDrive analyzes, among other things:

• speed;
• braking behavior;
• acceleration;
• coasting and anticipatory driving;
• idling;
• driving performance per trip;
• performance per driver;
• fuel consumption;
• trends in driving behavior over a specific period.

The data is converted into clear scores, indicators, and reports. This allows you to identify areas for improvement and provide targeted guidance to drivers.

Why Driving Behavior Has Such a Significant Impact

Driving behavior directly affects fuel consumption, vehicle wear and tear, and road safety. Hard acceleration, abrupt braking, unnecessary idling, and a lack of anticipation can increase costs without you even realizing it.

The consequences often extend beyond just a higher fuel bill:

• increased wear and tear on brakes and tires;
• higher repair and maintenance costs;
• a higher risk of damage and incidents;
• additional CO₂ emissions;
• greater disparities among drivers;
• less predictable fleet costs.

EasyDrive makes these patterns visible. This allows you to take action based on facts rather than assumptions.

Coaching drivers based on reliable data

Driving style analysis is not intended to penalize drivers. The greatest value is realized when the data is used for positive, personalized, and evidence-based coaching.

A general message like “drive more efficiently” offers a driver little guidance. Specific information about idling, braking behavior, or anticipating traffic clearly shows where improvement is possible.

With the reports from EasyDrive, you can:

• objectively discuss performance;
• highlight strengths;
• set personal improvement goals;
• track progress over the long term;
• compare drivers more fairly;
• recognize and reward achieved results.

This fosters greater awareness and engagement. Drivers gain a better understanding of how their driving behavior affects safety, fuel costs, vehicle wear and tear, and CO₂ emissions.

Lower fuel and maintenance costs

More efficient driving delivers immediate benefits. Accelerating more gently, anticipating traffic better, and idling less reduce fuel consumption. A smoother driving style also reduces wear and tear on tires, brakes, and other vehicle components.

The combination of EasyTrack and EasyDrive therefore helps you save on:

• fuel;
• repairs and maintenance;
• tires;
• damage;
• administrative processing;
• unexpected downtime.

The extent of the savings depends on the size and composition of your fleet, how the vehicles are used, and current driving behavior. The first step is always the same: identifying where the greatest opportunities for improvement lie.

Measurably reduce CO₂ emissions

Lower fuel consumption directly translates to lower CO₂ emissions. With EasyDrive, you gain insight into fuel consumption and driving performance, allowing you to translate sustainability goals into concrete actions.

The available reports help you:

• measuring current performance;
• establishing a baseline;
• formulating improvement goals;
• tracking progress;
• reporting to clients and other stakeholders;
• justifying sustainability measures.

Rietveld is a Lean & Green partner and participates in Connekt’s CO₂ Measurement and Improvement program. As a telematics provider, we help unlock vehicle data and convert it into practical insights that enable organizations to reduce their fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions.

For which organizations is this combination suitable?

EasyTrack with the EasyDrive Add-on is suitable for organizations that manage multiple vehicles and want to gain better control over usage, performance, and costs.

Examples include:

• transportation and logistics companies;
• service and installation companies;
• construction and infrastructure companies;
• government agencies;
• waste management and recycling companies;
• distributors and delivery services;
  
• other organizations with a fleet of vehicles or machinery.

Thanks to its modular design, the solution can grow with your organization and be tailored to your vehicles, users, and information needs.

Expand with video telematics

Would you like to link driving behavior and vehicle data to the context on the road? Then EasyTrack can be expanded with EasyView video telematics.

Cameras record what’s happening around the vehicle. In the event of an incident, you can combine vehicle data and footage to better assess the situation. Depending on the configuration you choose, features such as the following are available:

• live viewing;
• reviewing incidents;
• assessing events;
• combining camera footage with vehicle data;
• additional support for drivers and the organization.

This provides even greater insight into driving behavior, incidents, and safety.

One platform for smarter fleet management

With EasyTrack and the EasyDrive Add-on, you can consolidate vehicle locations, trips, driving behavior, fuel consumption, and performance into a single centralized environment.

This gives you:

• a real-time overview of your fleet;
• insight into vehicle usage;
• objective driving style analyses;
• targeted driver coaching;
• lower fuel and maintenance costs;
• support for sustainability goals;
• greater control over safety and efficiency.

Data only becomes valuable when you can act on it in a targeted way. That’s why Rietveld helps you not only with the technology, but also with determining the right information, reports, and applications for your organization.
