Safety, Recognition, and Retention. The Scratchie Revolution

Send us Fan MailIn this eye-opening episode, we're joined by James Kell, co-founder of Scratchie, who's flipping the script on how we approach fleet safety. Rather than focusing on catching drivers doing something wrong, Scratchie is creating measurable improvements by recognizing and rewarding positive driving behaviours.James shares how Scratchie's innovative platform integrates with Geotab's telematics data to automatically identify and reward safe driving practices.
