Case Study: Southwind saves $2M+ and improves fleet safety with Motive

How Southwind cut accidents and saved $2M+ in insurance and fuel costs with Motive

Southwind, a fast-growing home and commercial services provider with more than 60 locations, needed a better way to protect drivers, respond to accidents in real time, and control rising fuel, fraud, and maintenance costs. After outdated telematics failed to give enough visibility, Southwind turned to Motive and its safety platform to support a proactive, data-driven fleet safety program.

Motive implemented AI Dashcams, Driver Safety tools, Safety Scores, the Motive Card, and preventative maintenance features to help Southwind coach drivers, detect unsafe behavior, reduce fraud, and keep vehicles road-ready. With Motive, Southwind saved over $2 million annually in insurance premiums, cut fuel costs by more than $500,000 in one year, saved $20,000 in a single quarter on fleet spend, and improved road-ready fleet availability from 72% to 90%.
