CMT’s offering, available to insurers and fleet owners, gives Aioi Nissay’s drivers and managers an IoT-enabled smartphone app that offers trip-by-trip feedback, gamification functionality and a web portal to review past user scores and habits. The Japanese insurer launched its new service, dubbed Biz Safety, last month.
“Vehicle management through the use of telematics has drawn much attention recently,” said Katsuhiko Sugeta, general manager of product planning at Aioi Nissay, in a statement. “We expect that this program can meet our commercial customers’ needs.”
Aioi Nissay is also a user of CMT’s existing DriveWell program for personal auto.
