Linxup has launched a new Driver Safety Score and Leaderboard designed to help fleets translate telematics and video-based risk data into clearer, day-to-day driver coaching priorities.

The new Safety Score is a configurable rating that assigns a daily score to each driver or vehicle based on selected safety behaviors and AI-detected risk events. Linxup said the goal is to give fleet managers a faster way to spot higher-risk patterns, identify strong performers, and focus coaching where it can make the biggest difference.

Alongside the score, Linxup’s Leaderboard ranks drivers and tracks month-over-month performance shifts. The company said the ranking tool is intended to help fleets recognize improvement over time and flag where additional coaching may be needed.

Improving Fleet Safety Workflows 

Linxup noted the tools are built to support common fleet safety workflows, including:

  • Custom scoring models aligned with company policies and priorities

  • Transparent scoring so drivers can see what impacts performance

  • Insurance-relevant metrics tied to recognized risk factors

  • Trend tracking to monitor improvements and recurring risk areas

  • Integration with driver coaching tools, including a coaching dashboard and coaching sessions

“In an industry where safety directly impacts employees, customers, and the bottom line, Linxup’s Safety Score and Leaderboard give fleets the insight needed to promote accountability and build a safer driving culture,” said Naeem Bari, co-founder and president of Linxup.

To support the release, Linxup also shared survey results from 160 customers. Among respondents, the company said:

  • Four out of five reported that GPS data helps identify risky driving behaviors.

  • Nearly 25% of respondents who use dash cams said footage helped them dispute claims.

  • 55% said Linxup GPS data alone helped reduce safety incidents.

Linxup is best known for GPS tracking and dash-cam tools for small- and mid-sized fleets, particularly service and vocational operations such as HVAC, plumbing, landscaping, and construction.

Most fleet teams don’t have time to dig through dashboards all day. A simple daily score and a month-over-month leaderboard can reduce the hunt-and-peck work and make coaching more consistent, especially for smaller fleets where one person is doing safety, ops, and dispatch… before their second cup of coffee.
