Extreme Weather Intelligence
Identify vehicles with a higher damage risk after a severe weather event
Extreme weather is a fleet’s worst enemy. Sudden hailstorms, flash floods, and icy roads can throw operations into chaos, putting vehicles, drivers, and schedules at risk. When the weather turns, your fleet shouldn’t pay the price.
With RentalMatics’ ‘Extreme Weather Intelligence’, you can protect your rental fleet and quickly identify the vehicles most likely to have been damaged by extreme weather. By tapping into meteorological data, our telematics platform highlights areas of extreme weather and identifies which vehicles may have been exposed and potentially damaged as a result.
We creatively combine meteorological, telematics, fleet, and Big Data to provide helpful alerts about adverse weather conditions, so your teams can assess specific vehicles for damage detection and prioritise follow-up actions based on severity and urgency.
How it works:
- Real-time weather mapping analyses meteorological data to identify severe weather risks (e.g. hailstorms) in places where your fleet is located.
- Those extreme weather patterns are mapped to live vehicle clusters, allowing you to identify high-risk vehicles that may have been in the path of a severe weather event.
- The report can show how severe the impact was – even the estimated size of hail they may have encountered.
- This allows for immediate follow-up actions, such as deep-inspection of specific vehicles, notifying drivers, or filing claims.
