Case Study: CreativeXteriors achieves improved fleet safety and reduced incidents with Geotab

CreativeXteriors - Customer Case Study

CreativeXteriors, a Lakewood, Colorado–based full‑suite landscaping company with a 40‑vehicle fleet of light- and medium‑duty pickups, faced the high costs and liability risks of fleet accidents and the challenges of managing a largely mobile workforce. Concerned about safety, maintenance, fuel use and potential personal use of company trucks, fleet manager Steve Schaefer sought a way to reduce incidents, control costs and improve operational visibility.

Through a telematics pilot with Geotab—run in partnership with insurer American Family—CreativeXteriors gained real‑time vehicle data used to coach drivers, restrict unsafe operators, verify fault in an accident, monitor maintenance alerts, improve routing and curb weekend personal use. The result: immediate reductions in speeding, hard braking and other infractions, refined driving habits that cut wear and tear, clearer billing and time tracking, and stronger evidence for insurance and liability claims.
