In Vehicle and Fleet Management
workM8 provides all of the alerting and fleet management functionality of a fully installed and connected Enterprise grade telematics solution without the overheads of installation and dedicated hardware.
Once the workM8 Application is installed on a mobile phone or tablet (iOS and Android) it is paired with a small Bluetooth enabled device which is plugged into the vehicle. This is a simple plug and play process and can be completed by the end user. In addition to the cost and efficiency benefits of using the mobile phone to process trip and engine data workM8 is able to better support the mix of private, contractor, and 'Grey Fleet' vehicles which often supplement the traditional vehicle fleet today.
As well as the Vehicle Tracking and Alarming features listed below, workM8 reads data from the vehicle and provides detailed diagnositic reports allowing problems to be detected (and fixed) quickly.
A sophisticated web-portal allows organisations to manage and report on large fleets of vehicles but uniquely workM8 also brings this level of functionality to the small business or the individual.
- Rollover detection
- Harsh braking detection
- Fatigue management tools
- Sophisticated Geo-fencing tools
- Services alerts and reminders
Tracking and Driver Behavior
Once paired with the vehicle workM8 will record the individual trips made by any vehicle. Route taken, speed and distance are all recorded and can be accessed via the portal for auditing or review of behavior.
For larger fleet deployments bespoke rules can be created relating to certain event such as over-speed, very high RPM or G-forces outside of the agreed range. Alerts may simply be the generation of an email to the driver or a multi channel alarm to a group of people advising that the driver may need assistance (see Alerting and Duress).
Due to the way in which workM8 is deployed, all of the tracking data (and other functionality) can be extended to any vehicle (manufactured after 1996). The simple install also allows fleet vehicles, hire vehicles and personal vehicles all to be monitored in the same way.
Alerting and Duress
workM8 was born out of the need for worker saftey and as with the 'Duress' provided for lone worker the in-vehicle solution monitors worker stafey.
An individual or employee in the field is still able to trigger a request for help through the workM8 application but as workM8 in-vehicle is constantly monitoring key metics such as speed, heat and g-force the proces of requesting help is automated where an event outside of the expected parameters is detected.
If, for instance a vehicle rollover or sudden stop is detected workM8 will make calls, send emails and other messages to defined groups or individuals. The content of all messages will include name, number and location (including map). The workM8 portal provides real-time data as well as a record of locations and vehicle behaviour in the lead up to a alarming event.

Service Reminders and Registration Alerts
If a service alarm is triggered by the vehicle, workM8 will display this alarm through the web portal but can also generate an email to one or more people. In addition to this 'reactive alarming' reminders can be set for scheduled services, tax, insurance and registration events.
This functionality is useful for individuals as well as fleet managers looking after hundreds vehicles.
Engine Diagnostics
By constantly monitoring data from the vehicle computer (via Bluetooth connection from the OBD port). WorkM8 will provide drivers and managers with both real-time and historic vehicle health data. Some of the key metrics include:
RPM
Coolant Temperature
Outside tempreture
Fuel Levels
