Data-Driven Performance

DriverFocus_LOGOSML.jpg.png
We are early pioneers in data-driven fleet safety. Our mission is to help clients improve safety, performance and compliance when their staff drive for work.
— Ron McNamara, CEO
 

We believe that technology can positively improve the lives of staff who drive for work, reduce CO2e, drive efficiencies and show compliance.

Founded in Dublin in 2007, DriverFocus is an award-winning, motor risk management service provider and insurtech.

Our focus is to help our clients and partners improve outcomes by addressing four consequences of at-work driving:

  • CARBON – Reduce CO2e and improve driving style

  • CARE - Prevent collisions and harm

  • COST - Provide insights and reduce losses

  • COMPLIANCE - Automate BIK reporting and show duty of care.

DriverFocus is committed to delighting its clients with a comprehensive range of innovative, cost-saving and quality services that deliver real personal and sustainable business benefits.
