How Netis cut its fleet accident claims by 30%

How Netis cut its fleet accident claims by 30%

Netis builds and maintains telecom and energy networks for Africa's leading operators. Since 2022, its 1,000 field service vehicles have been tracked on Fleeti, with AI dashcams to bring accidents down.

AT A GLANCE

The challenge: a fleet of 1,000 vehicles exposed to road risk, 13 different local GPS providers, no unified reporting and an accident rate that was too high.

The solution: Fleeti telematics, AI fleet dashcams and driver behavior analysis, with local support in every country.

The results: 30% fewer vehicle claims, a 10% lower fuel budget and 20% less time spent on reporting.

A field service fleet exposed to road risk

For more than 17 years, Netis has built and maintained GSM, fiber and energy networks for Africa's leading operators, from Morocco to Ethiopia.

For the group, the fleet is a production tool. A vehicle off the road means a team that never reaches the site, and an operator left waiting.

Before Fleeti: a high accident rate and no view of driver behavior

Before 2022, each subsidiary had picked its own local GPS provider. The data existed, but nothing matched from one country to the next. Producing a group-wide report on fleet performance was impossible.

The real problem was accidents. There were too many of them, and with no visibility on how drivers were driving, the group had no way to bring them down.

An accident isn't just a bill. It means people get hurt, and sometimes lives are lost. Until we had shared reporting across all our subsidiaries, we didn't know where to start.

Why Netis chose Fleeti: telematics and AI dashcams for a multi-country fleet

The starting goal was simple: understand how drivers were driving, and move them towards safer habits. Netis looked at two kinds of offers: fleet management software on one side, local GPS trackers on the other.

None of them did both. And none had a support team on the ground in that many countries. Fleeti brought telematics, AI dashcams and fleet management together in a single tool, with teams on the continent.

The rollout happened country by country: reaching out to each subsidiary, installing the trackers and dashcams, then training the local teams.

How fleet dashcams reduce accidents every day

How fleet dashcams reduce accidents every day

1

Detect

Operations teams receive AI dashcam alerts and alerts for dangerous or unauthorized driving.

2

Coach

Every month, driving reports show which drivers need support, with video to back it up.

3

Understand

After an accident, the footage shows what caused it, so the team can act to stop it happening again.

4

Manage

Finance tracks cost per kilometer through the API, and headquarters consolidates all 13 subsidiaries with no manual re-entry.

We recently had an accident. The dashcam footage is what let us understand the causes. The AI alerts and driving reports are things we couldn't do without anymore.

Results: 30% fewer claims and eco-driving that cuts fuel costs

All 1,000 of the group's vehicles are under control, across the 13 subsidiaries. Vehicle claims are down 30%, the fuel budget is down 10%, and time spent compiling reports by hand is down 20%.

Driving behavior reports also built better eco-driving habits: smoother driving that shows up in the lower fuel budget.

The next chapter is already written: every new country Netis enters will be equipped with Fleeti from day one, and the group wants to increase the share of vehicles fitted with dashcams.
