Driver safety is always a paramount concern for any fleet. When we talk about far fewer miles of speeding and drivers giving up harsh braking or cornering, we are talking about a change in behavior that benefits everyone. Azuga Driver Rewards uses gamification and social sharing to help you change your team’s attitudes about fleet tracking and get them to compete to be the safest and best driver. Azuga makes it easy to see who is safe, and who has concerning events, like speeding, hard acceleration, and hard braking, along with excess idling. Driver Rewards uses this information to build a competitive spirit in your team, where employees compare scores and get recognition and rewards for safe driving.
The Benefits of Driver Rewards
Rewards-driven fleet tracking drives employee engagement, performance, and safety.
Positive Impact on Culture
Engaging employees with goal-based rewards instead of punitive notifications and training meetings boosts workplace culture and positively impacts productivity and morale.
Higher Job Satisfaction and Loyalty
A culture focused on safety and productivity shows employees you care about them and take proactive steps to recognize, reward, and retain high performers.
Effortless Results
Gamification of good driving habits brings out the best in drivers, so safety events like speeding and hard braking reduce quickly. This means fewer accidents and violations and lower risk overall.
Visibility of Scores Drives Self-Coaching
Driver Rewards enables drivers to see what their managers see and compare their scores to their peers, so everyone knows who is in the lead and where they stand. Competition to win among peers drives employees to make safer choices when on the road and instills healthy competition.

"We run a lot of safety programs, most of which are punitive, but we like the rewards aspect of Azuga Fleet. It’s a positive program we can rally behind and get everyone engaged. Our insurance carrier was very pleased that we were going down the path with telematics—specifically with Azuga.”
VP of Support Services, GalaxyOne Marketing Inc.
“Azuga is working great for us. The rewards program is a real hit. It has created some great competition and some jealousy....”
Operations Manager, Reliable Fire and Security
"The driver rewards program is awesome. When we first started it, we had a lot of our drivers in the red, and now we don’t have any drivers in the red. These guys are really fighting for the position of number one driver of the company."
Fleet Manager, JW Floor Covering
We Calculate Safety Scores for You!
Azuga uses a safety score system to quantify your drivers’ safe behavior. This system not only pinpoints your safest drivers but helps you find high-risk culprits as well. We generate safety scores based on driving events like speeding, distracted driving, idling, hard acceleration, hard braking, harsh cornering, and seatbelt usage. The scores are calculated on a scale of 1-100, generated daily.
Safety Scores: A Breakdown
Safety scores break down into percentages.
- 30% braking
- 10% speeding
- 10% acceleration
- 10% idling
- 10% cornering
- 20% distracted driving
- 10% seatbelt
*Percentages differ when particular concerns are disabled, such as seatbelts or cornering.
