Securitas Alarm and Drivee pair crash detection with emergency calls, is your fleet safe?

Crash detection, in plain terms, infers a likely accident from what happens to the vehicle. An emergency call service is the human side: someone who reaches the driver or rescue teams when the alert comes in. According to the report, both parts come together in one service; it does not say which data the detection relies on.

According to the Turkish daily Hürriyet (13 December 2018), Drivee’s SafeCall device is a sensor that analyses driving, detects impacts and sends the crash location to medical teams. Sales began in October 2018, and by the date of that report the device was in about 9,500 vehicles. The 2026 report does not say whether the new service builds on it.

According to a Securitas press release, the company bought the Turkish electronic security firm Tepe Güvenlik A.Ş. in July 2021 for about EUR 10 million. The release mentions 250 employees and more than 50,000 connections. According to Securitas, the deal made it number two in Türkiye’s monitoring market.

The report is dated 25 September 2026. Read in mid-October, it is a few weeks old. Price and package details may have appeared since, so confirm them with the companies.

The report summarises the views of İdil and Erdal rather than quoting them directly. These are the companies’ own assessments, not measured performance data. For a decision, ask the supplier for figures in writing.

Businesses that run intercity distribution, schedule night runs or send drivers out alone. For short, same-day deliveries, the need may be more limited.

Telematics is the technology that collects a vehicle’s location and driving data remotely. If your fleet already has a tracking device, ask about integration rather than a second device. Two separate dashboards only make a supervisor’s job harder.

Since no price has been published, the desk recommends setting any quote against your current crash costs. Start with last year’s damage files, workshop days and the value of cargo stranded on the road.

If the order system does not know a vehicle is stuck, the customer keeps waiting on the order screen. Link vehicle data to the order system, and delay notices can go out automatically. On marketplaces, that lowers the risk of bad reviews and cancellations.

An SLA is the delivery-time commitment you make to a business customer. If the post-crash process speeds up, a spare vehicle and driver can head out sooner. For businesses that run payments and delivery together, our piece on who should manage a store’s payment setup looks at the same question from another angle.

Location and driving data can count as personal data about an employee. Tell drivers in writing which data is collected, how long it is kept and who can see it. Verify with the official source; this is not legal or financial advice.

With loads such as white goods, electronics and furniture, every hour after a crash means lost goods and lost customers. When the cargo is stuck on the road, the till stops ringing too.

For a tradesperson with one or two vehicles, the driver is often the owner, and a phone call is enough to reach them. Without published price and package details, a subscription decision at this scale is premature.

AI in the vehicle and automation at the till ask the same question: where does it support people, and where does it open a new risk? We look at the till side of that question in our piece weighing self-checkout against staffed tills.

Open last year’s crash and breakdown records and note what happened in the first hour of each. The gaps, when nobody was called or cargo sat unattended, show where a system helps most.

Accuracy rate, false-alarm frequency, average response time, monthly fee per vehicle and contract length. The report does not include these figures, so request them in writing at the quote stage.

Linking crash and location data to ordering, notification and reporting is a separate project. Integrating AI-assisted tools into business systems falls within our AI consultancy work.

That is not known. The Perakende.org report includes no price, subscription model or package name, so get current details directly from the companies.

The report does not name a target customer. Even so, the benefit looks clearer for businesses with several vehicles, night runs or valuable cargo; for a trader with one or two vehicles, the need may be limited.

The report does not say which data is collected. Ask the supplier, and tell your driver in writing which data will be kept and for how long.
