H-TEC Group, an independent family-run fleet technology specialist and authorised Geotab partner, has partnered with UK transport operator SG Haulage to deliver a fully integrated fleet management and video telematics solution across the company’s growing fleet. Together, the partnership has delivered a 50% reduction in fleet collision risk, a 5% improvement in fuel economy, and helped SG Haulage avoid an estimated £10,000 in disputed insurance claims.
Operating a fleet of more than 40 vehicles, including tractor units, rigids, Moffetts and vans, across national and international routes, SG Haulage sought a single connected solution that could improve fleet visibility, support compliance requirements and provide greater operational oversight across its growing operation, including the high-value equipment and specialist movements the company carries out daily.
H-TEC’s solution combines Geotab’s industry-leading telematics platform with H-TEC’s hands-on fleet technology expertise and local support, delivering seamless vehicle tracking, video telematics, remote tachograph downloading and safety monitoring across SG Haulage’s fleet.
Measurable results within 6 months
Within six months of deployment, SG Haulage achieved a 50% reduction in average fleet collision risk. Real-time visibility of driver behaviour, including harsh braking and harsh acceleration, enabled the business to identify drivers who needed additional support, while also recognising and rewarding those performing well. The result has been a measurable shift in driver culture across the fleet.
Fuel economy improved by 5% through enhanced fleet visibility, route optimisation and driver performance insights; reducing unnecessary off-route journeys and cutting idling across the fleet.
Video telematics has also proven invaluable in protecting drivers and reducing business risk. During 2026 alone, SG Haulage experienced three separate incidents where third parties attempted to attribute fault to company drivers. In each case, camera footage was used to demonstrate driver innocence, helping the company avoid an estimated £10,000 in potential insurance-related costs. The additional visibility provided by connected camera technology has also contributed to improved insurance terms from the company’s brokers.
From manual compliance to connected fleet management
Prior to deploying the solution, SG Haulage relied on manual tachograph downloads and compliance processes. As the fleet expanded, these tasks became increasingly time-consuming and challenging to manage effectively.
Today, vehicle and driver data is automatically downloaded and analysed through the Geotab platform, providing real-time tracking that is vital for a company of SG Haulage’s scale, and particularly given the high-value equipment and specialist movements carried out across the fleet. Driver behaviour monitoring has enabled the business to identify coaching opportunities, reduce harsh driving events and unnecessary idling, and recognise high-performing drivers through targeted incentive programmes.
As an independent Geotab reseller, H-TEC provided end-to-end support throughout installation, configuration and ongoing account management, giving SG Haulage a single point of contact backed by both local expertise and a globally proven platform.
