Unlock Complete Fleet Insight: Integrating MANTIS Video with Vtec Solutions

Posted on May 1, 2025 by Keri Murphy

Moving Beyond Data Points to True Fleet Understanding

Effective fleet management thrives on data. Telematics systems, like the industry-leading Webfleet platform offered by Vtec Solutions, provide crucial information: vehicle location, speed, driver actions such as harsh braking or acceleration. But raw data doesn’t always paint the complete picture. What caused that sudden stop? What were the surrounding circumstances during an unexpected incident? To gain genuine understanding and possess irrefutable proof, you need the visual context that only integrated video telematics can deliver.

This is where the MANTIS connected camera system excels. At Vtec Solutions, we understand that combining robust telematics data (from platforms like Webfleet) with high-definition video intelligence from MANTIS is key to unlocking superior fleet oversight. Integrating MANTIS isn’t merely about adding cameras; it’s about layering visual truth onto your existing data streams. Vtec provides fleet management options for every need, expertly integrating these powerful systems to enable you to effectively Prove what happened, Prevent future incidents, and Protect your drivers, assets, and business reputation.

1. Verifiable Proof: Eliminating Guesswork with Visual Evidence

Your telematics system flags an event, but MANTIS video shows you precisely why it occurred. This capability is fundamental to being able to Prove exactly what transpired. Was that harsh braking event a necessary reaction to a sudden hazard, a near-miss caused by another road user, or something preventable?

  • Objective Incident Clarity: Capture crystal-clear HD footage of the moments leading up to, during, and after any on-road event. This visual record provides indisputable context, perfectly complementing your telematics logs (GPS position, speed, g-force data from systems like Webfleet).
  • Accelerated Claims & Dispute Resolution: Equip your insurance and claims teams with undeniable visual evidence for First Notification of Loss (FNOL) and liability investigations. Minimise reliance on subjective accounts, speed up resolutions, reduce claim costs, and get vehicles back on the road faster. This visual certainty helps Prove liability definitively.
  • Robust Fraud Defence: Video is your strongest weapon against fraudulent insurance claims, including staged ‘crash-for-cash’ incidents. Protect your company’s claims history and bottom line with objective proof provided by the MANTIS system, integrated by Vtec Solutions.

2. Proactive Safety Management: Transforming Data into Safer Driving

Combining MANTIS’s visual insights with the rich data from your telematics revolutionises your approach to driver safety and risk reduction. By understanding the why behind driving events, you gain powerful tools to proactively Prevent future risks.

  • Contextual Driver Behaviour Analysis: Link telematics alerts (e.g., speeding, harsh cornering) directly to corresponding MANTIS video clips. Understand the reasons behind the event – was the driver reacting appropriately to road conditions, or exhibiting risky behaviour? This facilitates fairer assessments and more productive driver conversations.
  • Targeted Coaching & Development: Utilise real-world video examples (highlighting both excellent driving and areas for improvement) in driver training. Visual learning powerfully reinforces best practices and helps address specific habits identified through the combined telematics and video data, helping Prevent repeat occurrences.
  • Near-Miss Trend Identification: Don’t wait for accidents to happen. Analyse footage of close calls, often flagged by telematics G-force sensors, to proactively identify high-risk routes, recurring dangerous situations, or specific behaviours that need addressing before they lead to a collision.
  • Fostering a Culture of Accountability: The awareness that journeys are recorded encourages greater adherence to company driving policies and road safety regulations, promoting a positive safety culture throughout your fleet and further helping Prevent unsafe actions.

3. Comprehensive Asset & Driver Protection: Securing More Than Just the Vehicle

MANTIS, integrated expertly by Vtec alongside your chosen telematics platform such as Webfleet, extends protection far beyond incident analysis. This integrated approach is key to holistically Protecting your most valuable assets – your drivers, your vehicles, and your operational integrity.

  • Driver Support and Exoneration: In incidents where your driver is not at fault, MANTIS video evidence provides swift, clear exoneration, reducing driver stress and Protecting their professional standing.
  • Enhanced Vehicle & Load Security: Deter theft, vandalism, and unauthorised vehicle use with visible camera systems. Capture crucial evidence if security breaches occur, even potentially when parked (depending on configuration), adding a powerful layer to Protect your physical assets.
  • Strengthened Insurance Position: Demonstrating a commitment to proactive risk management, including integrated video telematics, can significantly improve your negotiating position with insurers and potentially lead to more favourable premiums, Protecting your bottom line.
  • Maintaining Operational Standards: Use footage (particularly if utilising internal or cargo-facing cameras, where appropriate and compliant) to verify adherence to loading/unloading procedures, customer service protocols, or specific operational workflows, ensuring quality and Protecting your business reputation.
