Licence Check and telematics service provider Airmax Remote have signed a data integration partnership agreement that will provide enhanced driver behaviour information based on telematics feedback, helping to improve driver safety.

The new agreement will see Licence Check integrate driver behaviour information data gained through telematics into the Driver and Vehicle Information Solution (DAVIS) cloud solution, enhancing the driver risk profiling service provided as part of the platform.

As a result, Licence Check customers will be able to benefit from enhanced insight into their drivers, helping to support their road risk management programmes. And the integration will be ‘agnostic’, ensuring all customers that use telematics have the option of receiving the enhanced information regardless of their telematics provider.

At the same time, Airmax will become a Licence Check reseller with the help of the Davis Application Programming Interface (API) which allows applications to communicate with one another.

Airmax Remote managing director, Richard Perham said: “We are delighted to be working with Licence Check to enhance both of our core telematics platforms with integrated complementary datasets.

“This builds on our existing long-term, preferred telematics partner relationship with Ebbon-Dacs, the owner of Licence Check, and is an exciting opportunity for both companies to add value to their services.”

The new data agreement benefits customers by providing additional data and information to the driver safety features that Licence Check is able to offer users through DAVIS, and is the latest in a long line of recent enhancements to the platform.

This includes the launch of Fleet File, which provides users with a database for managing their fleet vehicles, including company cars and pool vehicles. Licence Check also added an accident recording feature at the same time, allowing Fleet File users to document accidents against a specific vehicle and a named driver to provide greater insight into the most at-risk drivers as part of an ongoing risk management process.

Most recently, Licence Check has introduced new ways of ‘onboarding’ drivers into DAVIS, allowing firms to carry out checks of drivers more quickly so that any issues with their licences can be instantly identified.
