The following table summarizes the changes to Powerfleet's Board and Audit Committee:

Professional Background

Michael Casey has served as a partner at TechCXO, LLC, a professional services firm, since 2006. His prior experience includes roles as Chief Financial Officer at MAPICS, Inc., iXL Enterprises, Inc., Manhattan Associates, Inc., and IQ Software Corporation. He began his career as a certified public accountant with Arthur Andersen & Co. and holds a Bachelor of Business Administration in accounting from the University of Georgia.

Powerfleet has launched SafeGuard, an AI-powered risk intelligence solution, to help Australian fleet operators predict and prevent driver risk. The solution is designed to assist safety teams in proactively identifying high-risk driver behaviour and focusing attention where it matters most. This launch addresses the increasing pressure on Australian operators to strengthen safety performance and demonstrate proactive risk management under evolving Work Health and Safety (WHS) and Chain of Responsibility obligations.

SafeGuard is available as an add-on to Powerfleet's VisionAI video solution and is fully integrated within the Unity platform. It uses artificial intelligence to continuously assess driver risk across a fleet, helping safety teams focus on events and behaviours most likely to lead to incidents. The solution combines real-time risk monitoring, AI-powered driving risk analysis, intelligent video event review and live intervention capabilities.

Brodie von Berg, Managing Director, Powerfleet APAC, highlighted the challenge of managing safety data. "Operators have access to more safety data than ever before, but knowing where to focus remains a significant challenge," said von Berg. "SafeGuard helps safety teams augment AI video safety by identifying the highest-risk drivers and behaviours in real time, enabling earlier intervention, more effective coaching and ultimately safer outcomes across the fleet."

The implementation of SafeGuard has demonstrated significant operational improvements for users. Operators have reported up to an 83% reduction in on-road risk, alongside a 95% decrease in false positive video event alerts. Additionally, the solution has contributed to an 80% reduction in video review time, allowing safety teams to improve operational efficiency while reducing overall risk.
