As a result of the partnership, companies that have the NexTraq GPS Fleet Tracking platform are eligible for significant insurance discounts for their commercial fleets.

Mark Roberts, CMO of NexTraq, said, “The combination of GPS tracking and insurance is becoming commonplace in the personal insurance sector. For the first time, NexTraq and GMAC Insurance are bringing these innovations to the business market.  At NexTraq, we focus on being the thought leader in the GPS fleet tracking and telematics space to offer our customers what no other provider can.”

The NexTraq Fleet Tracking platform offers driver safety and anti-theft features that provide customers with a tool to mitigate risk and liability. With Speed Alert and Posted Speed Alert functionality, fleet managers know immediately when a driver is speeding or being overly aggressive. Additionally, customers use our geofencing technology and Asset Tracker line to ensure both their vehicles and the assets on them are protected from theft.

“This new partnership with well-respected GMAC Insurance will provide substantial savings to our commercial fleet customers,” explains Mike Scarbrough, CEO of NexTraq. “The NexTraq Fleet Tracking platform gives our customers the ability to monitor their vehicles, but more importantly, it helps them protect their assets and improve driver safety, both important risk management issues.

An ISO Review article, Managing Risk through Telematics, cites, “Businesses that proactively utilize fleet management solutions have realized up to a 30 reduction in accidents.”

“We are excited about partnering with NexTraq, one of the leaders in fleet management and fleet tracking solutions,” said Rick Smith, Senior Commercial Vehicle Product Manager for GMAC Insurance. “Through the partnership, we believe we will attract customers who emphasize safety and care in the management of their vehicles and drivers.
