Why you should be using telematics to optimise your fleet
When looking for CCTV and safety system providers, look at the quality of their telematics system.
For commercial vehicle operators in New Zealand, safety and efficiency are top priorities. Whether you’re managing buses, coaches, trucks, or heavy vehicles, having real-time oversight of your fleet is crucial. This is where advanced telematics integrated with CCTV and safety systems can make a real difference.
Telematics are programmes that integrate with the on-vehicle safety systems so that operations staff can better manage the fleet and the drivers. This is optimal in all manner of commercial vehicle fleets, including bus, coach, trucks and heavy vehicle fleets.
The S & S Group CCTV and safety systems have premium, high-end telematics systems to back them up. It retains the core data needed to improve operations and reduce incidents. This is all provided in an easy-to-use, instantly accessible CMS provided by the S & S Group.
It supports our CCTV, Driver Fatigue Management, Active Collision Avoidance, Pedestrian Detection, Passenger Counting systems, and more.
Real-time tracking
Don’t wait until after the fact to learn about any potential safety issues or incidents.
Telematics can provide real-time tracking where the operations staff can see the driver and vehicle data live and in-the-moment.
S & S Group telematics supports live viewing of all cameras and safety equipment on board (as long as the fleet owners choose wifi connectivity for the fleet).
Additionally, there are live statistics of safety incidents happening in real-time. So you can proactively support your fleet, rather than needing to react after an event.
Fleet Management
Telematics are the beating heart of your safety plan and electronics safety systems.
There is no point in having systems such as Driver Fatigue Management or Active Collision Avoidance if you have no data to understand the trends in the incidents within your fleet.
Telematics give you this optimal oversight so you can manage your fleet, your drivers, and improve safety.
For example, if a vehicle operator is fatigued and is consistently losing focus on the road (e.g. closing eyes, yawning, looking to the side) the Driver Fatigue Management System installed would pick this up and it would alert the driver to focus them back on the road.
However, if this is not recorded and displayed to operations staff, they may not know that there was potentially unsafe vehicle operating occurring.
Having the system log all of the alerts ensures optimisation of safety. In this situation, the operations staff could replace the driver mid-shift, or check in on the driver’s tiredness and wellbeing, or provide further training as needed.

Go for a company that backs up their CCTV and safety systems, and their telematics, with solid long-term support.
