ZoomSafe, a provider of policy management software that is intended to put off unfocused driving, and SkyGuard – a provider of fleet management systems aimed at increasing fleet productivity, cost effectiveness and protection – recently joined hands.

Their partnership results in the provision of ground-breaking technology solutions that assist corporations to monitor and handle risks which arise due to the usage of mobile phones by their employees while driving.

The partnership merges ZoomSafer’s FleetSafer policy management software with SkyGuard’s fleet management system. With this combined solution, corporations can now proactively and concurrently encourage employees to use company-owned vehicles and company-issued smart phones in a secure, legal and accountable manner.

In a release, Matt Howard, who is the CEO of ZoomSafer, said that, "Today's businesses are aware of the swiftly increasing risks associated with distracted driving, and many are enacting employee policies to define acceptable use of mobile phones while driving. The combination of FleetSafer and SkyGuard gives corporations a simple and reliable way to combat the increasing dangers associated with distracted driving.”

Now, when an employee drives a vehicle set with the SkyGuard service, his/her smart phone will automatically come into a safe driving mode. This feature will facilitate the driver to avoid the unsafe temptation to text or email at the time of driving, thereby shielding the employer from crashes, risks and liability.

In a release, J.D. Power who is the Chairman of SkyGuard, said that, “The simple truth is that mobile phones compete very effectively for our attention in every aspect of life – at home, at work, even when we’re driving. As a platform for delivering innovative fleet management services, SkyGuard is pleased to partner with FleetSafer to make it easier for government and corporate fleet managers to embrace solutions to prevent distracted driving.”

By using its own secure web based application, SkyGuard offers fleet management services to businesses all over the United States. With SkyGuard’s systems and reporting, the fleet managers are able to avail the tools essential to boldly make changes that lead to cost reduction, higher output, enhanced customer relationship and abridged liability.
