Smarter Usage-Based Insurance (UBI) Program for Commercial Fleets

It’s like giving every truck in a fleet a smart fitness tracker. Instead of guessing risk from age or ZIP code, the insurer watches how each truck is actually driven—speeding, hard brakes, routes, and mileage—and then prices insurance based on real behavior, not rough averages.

Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Traditional commercial auto insurance prices risk using blunt instruments (vehicle type, historical losses, broad territory) and reacts slowly to changes in driving behavior. A smarter usage-based program lets insurers and fleets use real-time telematics and behavioral data to more accurately price risk, reduce claims, and reward safer driving while controlling loss ratios.

Value Drivers

More accurate pricing and risk selection based on real driving behaviorLower loss ratios via proactive risk management and driver coachingImproved profitability on commercial auto portfoliosMore competitive, differentiated fleet insurance productsReduced fraud and misreporting around mileage and vehicle usageBetter customer retention via transparent, behavior-based discounts

Strategic Moat

Integration depth with commercial fleet telematics and ELD data sources, proprietary risk-scoring models calibrated on historical loss data, and embedded workflows for underwriters and fleet managers that make the platform sticky.
