FleetWatcher is getting an update built for the people who keep fleets running safely: a rebuilt Driver Safety leaderboard, Certifications tracking, and Granular ACLs for user permissions.
Each one solves a different problem. Together, they answer three questions every fleet manager asks: Who's driving safely? Who's qualified to drive? And who should have access to what?
Here's what's new.
Driver Safety
Safety data is only useful if you can act on it. The updated Driver Safety leaderboard turns a month of telematics into one clear picture.
Know who needs attention first. Every driver is automatically tagged as Good, Fair, or Poor based on monthly performance. No spreadsheets, no manual scoring. You'll know who needs coaching in seconds.
See exactly where it happened. Every logged event, from hard braking to speeding, is pinned on an interactive map. Location context helps you spot problem routes and understand what really went on.
Cut idle time, too. Idle hours sit right alongside safety scores, so you can tackle unnecessary fuel burn and risk in the same conversation.
Do even more with FleetWatcher Cameras
For fleets running FleetWatcher Cameras, Driver Safety adds AI-powered event detection for phone use, distraction, tailgating, and drowsy driving. The video clip appears right inside the incident report, next to the score and the map. Driver Safety is an upgrade to the existing camera feature, so there's no change to your pricing if you already have FleetWatcher cameras.
Certifications
Are you certain every driver has an active commercial license today? Are you sure a subcontractor's insurance didn't lapse yesterday?
Certifications bring driver credentials into FleetWatcher, right where you schedule work. It's a full compliance and document management tool that tracks credentials and keeps unqualified operators off the job.
Catch problems at dispatch. Dispatchers see credential status as they schedule, so equipment and loads don't get assigned to drivers with missing or expired documents.
Ditch the filing cabinet. Upload and store CDLs, specialized operating licenses like crane certifications, and Certificates of Insurance directly in FleetWatcher.
Stay ahead of renewals. Automated expiration tracking shows active versus expired status across your whole operator pool, with alerts before a gap opens up.
Hold subcontractors to the same standard. Manage and audit third-party haulers alongside your own team, so outside partners meet your safety and insurance requirements too.
Already using Authorization Types? Certifications is the next step up. Authorization Types group who can operate what; Certifications adds document uploads, expiration dates, alerts, and built-in safeguards against uncertified dispatching.
Granular ACLs
Not everyone on your team needs permission to do everything. With Granular ACLs (access control lists), admins decide exactly who can do what in FleetWatcher.
Control actions, not just logins. Separate permissions by task. For example, let someone build and edit dispatch orders without giving them the ability to fulfill them.
Choose where people can sign in. Allow a user access to the web app, the Field App, or both, configured independently.
Tighter control on mobile. Set which features each user can reach in the mobile app.
Fit permissions to the job. Build permission sets around real job functions so team members get the access they need and nothing more.
Granular ACLs live in FleetWatcher's existing user management and security settings. Rules apply consistently across web and mobile, so there's one place to manage access and no gaps between platforms.
Better together
These three features are built to work as one system. Certifications makes sure only qualified drivers get dispatched. Driver Safety shows how they perform once they're on the road. Granular ACLs make sure the right people manage each part.
Safety, compliance, and permissions now live in the same platform as the rest of your fleet data. Less switching between tools, fewer blind spots, and a clearer record when it matters most.
