SmartDrive Systems Expands Safety Program with New Custom Coaching and Scoring Capabilities

SmartDrive’s program captures before-and-after video when a safety incident occurs, after which SmartDrive experts review footage, note unsafe driving and prioritize for coaching based on the calculated risk score. With Custom Coaching and Scoring, the score for specific risk areas can be weighted higher or lower based on a customer’s safety policies and procedures. In addition, the coaching priority can be set based on a variety of their own policy criteria—such as zero tolerance, watch-list, or their own custom priority. This provides the flexibility to centrally manage the program, applying company-specific business rules in a consistent and standardized process throughout the organization while helping managers understand what areas need retraining relative to their policy.

Customers implementing the video-based safety program can begin with SmartDrive’s best practice configuration and adjust over time, or customize at the start. Dedicated Customer Success Managers (CSM), who are safety experts in specific industry verticals, partner with customers to determine appropriate adjustments based on their business and safety goals.

“Fleets today require solutions that can keep pace with their business. To remain competitive, they can’t afford to be locked into a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach,” said Steve Mitgang, CEO of SmartDrive. “Whether it is market expansion into new verticals or geographic areas, new regulatory requirements or the ongoing dynamics of hiring and managing drivers, fleets operate in an environment of constant change.  This new release speeds adoption and accelerates results by allowing customers to align the program to their existing polices while taking advantage of our proven best practices.”
