We are pleased to announce that Smart eDriver EWD has integrated with GEOTAB and is now available on the GEOTAB Marketplace!

Smart eDriver is an NHVR approved electronic work diary (EWD). It takes compliance, safety and chain of responsibility paperless, to keep your fleet safe and productive. The Smart eDriver business analytics platform is available on the GEOTAB Marketplace, it provides real-time driver data making it easy to manage vehicles and drivers all within a single portal. The real-time driver data provided allows fleet managers to optimise driver scheduling, maximising efficiency while maintaining compliance.
The Smart eDriver app sends notifications to the driver about upcoming rest breaks and other potential non-compliance events allowing them to remain compliant. The app was designed to replicate the familiar layout of a paper logbook, this allows drivers to enjoy reduced reporting time without the hassle of learning a new interface.
