Powerday, a leading waste management and recycling business operating over 150 vehicles across the UK, has made Stream its default fleet safety camera system – not just for its existing fleet, but for every new vehicle that joins it. That decision reflects a safety programme that surpasses compliance, and a partnership built on shared values, integrated technology, and genuine accountability.
The Search for a Proactive Safety Solution
As the business continued to grow, Powerday required a solution capable of supporting a dynamic, expanding fleet while maintaining rigorous safety standards. The priority was clear: best-in-class camera technology backed by a software platform that was reliable, easy to use, and capable of taking a genuinely proactive approach to driver safety risks; distraction, fatigue, and compliance – before they escalated into incidents.
AI-Driven Protection, In Real Time
Central to the rollout is Stream’s AI-enabled driver safety camera system, using inward-facing cameras to monitor driver behaviour in real time. When unsafe behaviour is detected, in-cab alerts are triggered immediately; enabling corrective action on the spot and supporting driver wellbeing at every mile. The system proactively monitors for:
- Fatigue and driver distraction
- Mobile phone usage
- Seatbelt compliance
A Single Partner, Not a Supply Chain
Powerday’s decision to select Stream, by SM UK, was rooted in a long-standing relationship built on shared values of quality and engineering excellence. With dedicated workshops, all hardware, software and support is handled in-house, supported by a national network of engineers to provide on-the-ground expertise, Powerday has a single, accountable partner rather than a fragmented chain of third-party suppliers. That combination of integration and accountability gave the business the confidence to commit – and to keep going.
“For a business like Powerday, maintaining high standards in safety and technology is essential. Stream has delivered across the board and is becoming the standard solution for all our new vehicles.”
John Gowran, Powerday
“What really sets SM UK apart is the people. From the engineers on the ground to the team we deal with every day, the care and commitment they bring is genuinely unique.”
John Gowran, Powerday
“We’re proud to support a business of Powerday’s scale and ambition. By combining AI-driven driver safety technology with a fully integrated hardware, software and support model, this partnership demonstrates exactly what Stream was built to achieve – measurable outcomes, reduced risk, and a fleet that’s genuinely safer for everyone on the road.”
