Combining our app installed on the driver’s smartphone with your existing in-vehicle hardware. Through a seamless integration with Geotab, the system works automatically based on vehicle status:

• Automatic Activation: As soon as the Geotab-connected vehicle starts driving, Blackout automatically blocks the driver’s device. This restricts unauthorized access to encrypted messaging, social media, streaming, internet browsing, and camera functions, while silencing incoming notifications.
• Trip Completion: Once the vehicle is turned off and the trip is marked as complete, the app automatically unblocks, allowing the user to resume full operation of their device.
• Transparency & Reporting: All driver activity is recorded in the Blackout dashboard, providing a detailed breakdown of "trips" that highlights device state and blocking compliance throughout the duration of the journey.

Illegal smart device usage is a surging risk for modern fleets. Blackout addresses this critical issue by solving pain points across safety, operations, and cost management:

• Risk & Safety (Duty of Care): Drastically reduces the risk of collisions, injuries, and avoidable road deaths. It protects both drivers and the public, helping fleets meet their Duty of Care obligations while avoiding penalty points and driving bans for employees.
• Operational Costs: By preventing at-fault claims, fleets can lower insurance premiums and leverage usage-based policy savings.
• Business Protection: Mitigates the "cost of inaction" by preventing high-profile incidents that damage brand reputation. It also provides automatic crash detection alerts (FNOL) to decrease claim costs and ensure a rapid response.
