Case Study: McDermott achieves safer driving, regulatory compliance and improved customer service with GreenRoad Technologies

McDermott’s Coachlines looked for a tracking solution – but got much more from GreenRoad

Mcdermott, a long‑standing coach operator that transports thousands of schoolchildren for the New Zealand Ministry of Education, needed GPS tracking to meet strict route, location and emissions compliance — and wanted more than basic telemetry. After evaluating options, Mcdermott chose GreenRoad Technologies’ Driver Behaviour and Fleet Management system (the GreenRoad Platform) to provide real‑time location control plus in‑cab driver feedback to improve safety and regulatory reporting.

GreenRoad Technologies deployed the platform with a blind month and training, then delivered real‑time vehicle tracking, historical journey replay and in‑cab risk scoring used to run driver incentives and workshops. The result was immediate and measurable: improved average Risk Scores, reduced heavy braking, better fuel consumption and emissions, faster customer response through accurate arrival times, documented compliance for government contracts, and a maintained high vehicle safety score year over year.
