Guardian, a real time driver fatigue and distraction detection solution is now being offered as an integrated solution and commercial standard offer in the MiX Telematics portfolio. This new offering is the result of the global distribution partnership agreement Seeing Machines signed with MiX Telematics back in December 2016. Both companies have agreed to collaborate on a co-branded integrated solution which will be distributed globally by MiX Telematics.

MiX Telematics is a leading global provider of fleet management, driver safety and vehicle tracking solutions. Designed for commercial fleet operators, their products and services enable users to actively manage their mobile assets. Solutions from MiX Telematics are delivered as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) to customers in over 120 countries.
“We are very excited to be expanding our footprint in South East Asia and to be working with Guardian. MiX Telematics is a fleet management provider where we focus on monitoring and improving driver behaviour. Apart from that, we also have other objectives in terms of fuel management and overall improvement of fleet safety and we do that by using on-board computers where we can retrieve the data and monitor driver behaviour. We have various mechanisms and platform to improve driver behaviour either via classroom based training or online training” explained Niels Kirn, Head of Sales & Marketing (Middle East) at MiX Telematics.

On what makes MiX Telematics a cut above other telematics systems, Steven Fletcher, Head of Sales (Australasia) said that they “have a very large global footprint so we have a proven track record of delivering a consistent and reliable service across multiple countries especially to MNCs. We also have a broad product portfolio so it’s not just tracking the vehicle and driver behaviour but assets as well. Our customers have all these data at their fingertips.”

Niels further added that their customers appreciate the company’s global coverage so that the support remains handy across different regions and countries. The company works closely with their local partners to ensure all requirements are met.

“Seeing Machines works very closely with telematics and we complement each other so this partnership makes sense to both parties to try and deliver better solutions for our customers as a one-stop shop. Together, we cover a wide range of safety-driven solutions through the Guardian system and Mix Telematics to drive that. We are very excited to have expanded out footprint with a well-established and partner like Guardian and cannot wait to see what the region has in store for us” he concluded.
