DRIVER RISK & ACTIVITY MONITORING
Canadian License Status Monitoring*
In order to support our customers who operate across the U.S.-Canadian border and ensure consistency in their policy enforcement and risk management strategy, we now offer license status monitoring for all Canadian provinces.
Canadian license status monitoring is the most efficient way to determine driver eligibility without the delay of ordering costly abstracts. With monthly alerts for license status changes, you can make quicker, more cost-effective decisions about which of your drivers should be on the road.
*Available with the purchase of a Canadian Monitoring subscription
To learn more about Canadian License Status Monitoring or add it to your subscription, contact your SambaSafety representative or request a demonstration.
DRIVER RISK & ACTIVITY MONITORING
View All Licenses on a Person’s Profile
As a first step in making it easier for our users to manage drivers who have possessed multiple licenses, we have added the ability to view all licenses (current and historical) on the Person’s Profile under License Summary. Plus, users can now add a license through the Person Profile by selecting the new ‘Add License’ button. We’ve also added the ability to copy each license number so users can quickly search for that license number elsewhere in the platform.
DRIVER RISK & ACTIVITY MONITORING
Authorization for Enrollment Form Enhancement: Custom Person ID
We’ve added a new field to the Authorization for Enrollment form that captures the driver’s unique Custom Person ID. Upon submission of the form, the ID will be added to the employee’s Person Profile in the SambaSafety platform without requiring any manual work from the SambaSafety user.
TELEMATICS AGGREGATED INSIGHT*
New Telematics Service Provider Integrations
SambaSafety recently expanded our telematics offering by providing new integrations with leading Telematics Service Providers including Motive, Lytx Enterprise, Lytx Surfsight, Verizon Reveal (Connect), Verizon Fleet, Fleet Complete, Azuga, Trimble and Zonar (Continental).
Our telematics monitoring provides simplified access to normalized behavioral risk data from your existing telematics devices, directly in the SambaSafety platform. By combining your telematics data with the CSA, MVR and claims data that we process today, we can formulate the most holistic profile of risk for each driver and help you make quick, informed decisions about your fleet. With real-time, contextualized alerts on high-risk trips and risky driving behaviors, you can proactively track incidents alongside your regulated datasets to more effectively identify and respond to risk.
