Lightfoot has been recognised in the van fleet sector for its integrated approach to fleet management, combining in-cab driver coaching with a driver rewards app and a comprehensive management platform. The system is designed to help operators of all sizes, especially SMEs, improve safety, reduce costs, and streamline operations.
At the core of the solution is an in-vehicle device that delivers live feedback, encouraging drivers to adopt smoother, safer driving behaviours. The real-time alerts allow immediate correction, helping reduce fuel use, vehicle wear, and accident risk. Drivers are also incentivised through the Lightfoot app, which includes competitions and financial rewards. According to Lightfoot, this model has helped eliminate up to 84% of dangerous driving behaviours and reduce at-fault accidents by 40%.
The platform also delivers strong sustainability benefits. Fleet operators using Lightfoot have reported up to 15% CO₂ reductions, with specific results including a 17% increase in EV range for Octopus Energy and 7,346 tonnes of carbon saved annually by Tesco’s grocery van fleet. Lightfoot also supports the transition to electric vehicles with features such as automated charge reminders and expense reporting tools for domestic charging.
