It can also assist in fleet-wide management by providing access to vehicle health data, telematics, historical route analysis, incident creation, and supporting video export.

Paul Webb, Chief Executive, Synectics plc commented: " We have made significant investments to develop our Cloud Services over the last few years, based on innovation designed to meet our customers' emerging and evolving needs. It is really pleasing when operators see the benefits of the new solutions which we are continuing to develop."

"We are delighted at the progress we have made with fleet operators in Ireland and Northern Ireland over the last few years, especially in their adoption of our latest on-vehicle technologies. They have been quick to take advantage of the benefits of our connected vehicle and cloud services solutions, and we expect more franchised operators in mainland UK to follow in due course."
