Motus, a prominent provider of vehicle management and reimbursement solutions, has unveiled Motus Protect, a new offering designed to help companies identify and manage potential liability stemming from employees driving their personal vehicles for work.
Motus Protect comprises three main components: Auto Insurance Monitoring, Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) Monitoring, and Driver Training. These elements together provide companies with the necessary tools for due diligence and risk management related to employee driving.
Phong Nguyen, CEO of Motus, highlighted the significance of solutions like Motus Protect in the current business landscape, stating, “Employers are unfortunately one catastrophic event away from significant financial losses and damage to their corporate reputation.” Nguyen stressed the importance of proactive measures to address liabilities associated with employees using personal vehicles for work purposes.
One of the primary features of Motus Protect is Auto Insurance Monitoring, which verifies active insurance and adequate coverage for drivers. This automated solution utilizes technology to identify drivers with insufficient or expired insurance, offering notifications and reporting for non-compliant drivers. This enables businesses to promptly address coverage issues and mitigate potential liabilities.
Another key component, MVR Monitoring, provides ongoing oversight of license status and risky driving behaviors. It offers alerts and reporting on license status and infractions, assisting employers in staying informed about potential risks.
Additionally, Motus Protect includes Driver Training, offering online courses to enhance driving skills and promote the adoption of defensive driving practices among employees. The convenient 15-minute course segments make it easy for drivers to reinforce critical driving skills during their workday, with reporting available for employers to track progress and adoption.
Motus Protect seamlessly integrates with Motus Reimburse, providing centralized visibility and control for companies managing reimbursement for employees who use their personal vehicles for work purposes. This integration helps companies optimize spending and operations related to employee vehicle use, without the complexity of managing a fleet of vehicles.
