Savanna Energy: raising the safety bar for remote fleet and field operations

Learn how a leading energy services company unified digital journey management, telematics and fatigue detection to protect its people and drive safer, smarter operations.

The challenge

Savanna Energy Services operates a large, mobile fleet across vast and often isolated regions. With limited mobile coverage and an ageing 3G-based IVMS, the company faced growing visibility gaps in driver behaviour and journey risk. Paper-based journey management plans and manual check-ins created compliance challenges and inconsistent safety practices across the workforce.

The national 3G network shutdown intensified the need for an upgrade. Savanna needed a next-generation system that not only met Safer Together IVMS standards but also provided real-time visibility, proactive alerts, and integrated safety intelligence to address:

• Limited network coverage across remote operations
• Outdated 3G IVMS with no live oversight
• Paper-based journey planning and manual tracking
• No structured escalation pathway for high-risk events
• Inconsistent compliance and data reporting

The solution

Savanna partnered with Quartex to deploy an integrated safety and telematics platform designed for remote, complex and high-risk operations. The solution unified digital journey management, AI-enabled video telematics, and digital compliance systems into one connected ecosystem — delivering complete oversight of fleet and workforce safety.

What was delivered

• Quartex Journey Management — digital plans, automated check-ins and escalation workflows
• AI-enabled video telematics — fatigue detection, driver behaviour monitoring and real-time alerts
• GPS and satellite tracking — full visibility via dual-network connectivity
• Digital work diaries — paperless compliance and simplified reporting

The rollout included dual-facing dash cameras with fatigue detection, duress buttons, satellite connectivity, seat vibration alerts and in-cab visual displays — all supported through remote installation and SaaS-based management.

The results

With a fully integrated system in place, Savanna has achieved measurable improvements in driver safety, compliance and operational efficiency. Even in areas without mobile coverage, the company maintains real-time oversight and automatic escalation for at-risk journeys with:

• End-to-end digital journey management across all fleet operations
• AI-powered fatigue detection and proactive driver coaching
• Automated risk escalation and rapid emergency response
• Consolidated compliance across journey, telematics and work diaries
• Reduced manual oversight and streamlined vendor management

By integrating multiple technologies under one platform, Savanna has set a new benchmark in operational safety and sustainability — modernising its fleet operations while protecting its people and preserving its licence to operate.

“With Quartex in place, we now have complete visibility over our remote fleet and workforce. The escalation workflows have already proven their worth in critical situations — it’s a game changer for safety in our operations.”

“The integrated platform makes it easy for our drivers and even easier for our team to manage compliance. It’s a smart, efficient solution that’s lifted the safety bar across our transport operations.”
