Albuquerque, NM and Denver, CO, Nov. 20, 2013 -- SambaSafety™, the nation’s leading provider of driver risk management solutions, today announced the availability of new functionality that gives employers powerful new capabilities to understand the driving behaviors of their commercial and professional drivers as well as any driver in their company.
SambaSafety’s DriverScoreSM addresses a significant challenge that employers with large, multi-state fleets face when monitoring the safety of their drivers. Because each state imposes their own point system for driving violations, companies often lack a comprehensive view of all their drivers’ records.
By consolidating publicly-available motor vehicle record (MVR) data across states and applying a standardized set of codes to traffic violations, Samba DriverScore enables employers to measure driver safety with a common standardregardless of which states its drivers operate.
The Samba DriverScore is based on a drivers’ individual driving performance, initially leveraging motor vehicle record (MVR) data. The higher the DriverScore, the more of a safety concern an individual drivers’ performance represents.
Because it’s a dynamic score that changes when driving violations, crashes or non-compliance occurs, employers can benchmark how specific drivers or its entire fleet are performing. With new robust reporting tools, employers also can readily identify overall safety trends.
“Understanding driver performance is critical to putting safety first, but this information doesn’t come from just one source. Samba DriverScore consolidates driver data from a number of resources and provides a consistent way to measure driver performance over time and across geographical boundaries,” said Richard Lacey, SambaSafety’s Vice President of Product Management. “This innovative scoring approach developed by SambaSafety gives employers a powerful tool to identify important trends both for individual drivers and their overall fleet.”
These new Samba DriverScore features are part of SambaSafety’s innovative Driver Risk Management solution, which provides employers with a 360-degree view of its drivers. This solution gives employers the ability to monitor all driver behavior, including a driver’s history, employee background checks and compliance, through an easy-to-use and intuitive web-based dashboard. With this insight, employers can take swift action to address unsafe driver behavior, reducing accidents and improving the safety of our communities.
