We interact daily with Artificial Intelligence in the form of virtual assistants on our cell phones, autocorrect tools, and chatbots that provide instant information on a wide variety of topics.
As a result, the need for innovation has become a priority for companies in a wide variety of sectors. In the pursuit of greater convenience for customers, employees, and management itself, technology has proven essential for the sustainable and efficient growth of businesses.
In fleet management , the challenges are constant: lack of visibility into vehicle usage, lack of knowledge about driver behavior on the roads, safety risks, and often, losses that could be avoided with real-time information.
It was precisely to overcome these barriers that the Cooperativa Agrícola Sul-Mato-Grossense (Copasul), one of the largest in the region, found an effective solution in Golfleet's video telemetry system, combining artificial intelligence, facial recognition, and telemetry capabilities in a single platform.
As the number of drivers within the cooperative grew, so did the risks and complexity of management. The lack of data on driver behavior became a critical point, and it was this need for visibility and control that led Copasul to adopt Golfleet 's solution.

How AI and video telemetry revolutionized Copasul's fleet management
The idea of using video telemetry in Copasul's fleet arose from a concern of Mauro Junior Soncini, who is responsible for the area. "We needed more control and security , and I started looking for alternatives that made sense for our reality," he says.
It was during this search that he discovered Golfleet's solution, and saw a real opportunity for change. "It was a technology that combined everything we wanted: images, data, and artificial intelligence all in one place. "
The decision came quickly. With the growth of the fleet and the increase in operational risks, it became clear that it was time to have more visibility into what was happening in the drivers' daily lives, not only to protect the vehicles, but mainly the people.
“From the beginning, the idea was to identify who was driving our cars and, with that, increase safety in terms of the number of accidents and claims.”
After implementation, the video telemetry system began to play a decisive role in solving these challenges, promoting greater security , traceability, and better working conditions for everyone involved.

Video telemetry in practice: does it really work?
According to Soncini, the combination of video telemetry and continuous driver training — a differentiating factor that Golfleet also offers — was crucial for the transformation of Copasul's fleet management:
"With the video telemetry system , we brought innovation and improvements to the cooperative. We improved operational control and increased care for our employees."
Today, Copasul's fleet has 229 vehicles, including light and heavy cars and motorcycles, and an average of 3 kilometers driven per vehicle each month. The fleet's growth was only possible thanks to the operational efficiency achieved with the support of technology.
In addition to identifying drivers through facial recognition , a feature that offers greater security and reliability , the system also provides internal and external images of vehicles, enabling a precise analysis of situations such as accidents, distracted driving, or misuse of vehicles.
“We can identify whether the driver was distracted, using their cell phone, whether it was a mechanical failure or another problem,” explains Soncini.

More than just control: video telemetry is a life-saving tool
Soncini is keen to emphasize that the role of fleet management goes beyond operational efficiency. It's also about protecting lives.
“ Video telemetry helps us to have this effective care , as we can control the speed limit on each road, track the location of drivers, obtain footage for behavior analysis, and track various situations. We can also assess whether the vehicle is being used outside of permitted hours, among other things,” he explains.
In his view, it is an essential tool for any fleet manager who values safety, cost-effectiveness, and good operational performance.
Golfleet: safety, efficiency and innovation with video telemetry
Copasul's success story is a great example of how well-used technology can make a difference in practice. By integrating AI, telemetry data, facial recognition, and smart cameras, Golfleet provides a complete , always up-to-date, and highly reliable view of operations.

With Golfleet Videotelemetry , companies of all sizes can transform their logistical challenges into growth opportunities , just as Copasul has been doing.
Safety culture and behavior change
One of the most important aspects of adopting new technologies for fleet management is the cooperative's safety culture over time.
With the video telemetry system, it is possible to guarantee innovation and improvements for the operation, improving control and increasing care for employees at the same time.
With the constant monitoring provided by video telemetry , managers can observe drivers more closely, so their safety is always a priority.
Adopting technology coupled with internal awareness campaigns is extremely effective in implementing a safety culture, and Golfleet has several materials that assist in this process.
One example is our Road Safety Guide for Drivers , a completely free eBook that provides numerous information and guidelines on safe policies for fleet drivers on the roads.
Operational efficiency and cost impact
The cost savings generated by reduced accidents, less wear and tear on vehicles, and optimized fleet use are significant . With video telemetry, actions are precise and based on concrete information.
Through data collection and the possibilities that the video telemetry system offers, it is possible to increase the accuracy of actions taken by fleet management, optimizing time, investment and service.
