44 COMMERCIAL CARRIER JOURNAL | AUGUST 2014 technology S martDrive Systems announced Custom Coaching and Scoring, an addition to its video-based safety program designed for fl eets to easily tune the program to their individual risk priorities and safety policies. SmartDrive says it developed a best-prac- tice program designed by industry segment, specifi c operating environment and vehicle type. With the help of SmartDrive safety ex- perts, the program then can be customized to fl eets' unique business requirements. SmartDrive's platform captures before-and-after video when a safety incident occurs, after which the com- pany's risk management experts review footage, note unsafe driving and priori- tize for coaching based on the calculated risk score. With Custom Coaching and Scoring, the score for specifi c risk areas can be weighted higher or lower based on a customer's preferences. The coaching priority also can be set based on a variety of specifi c policy criteria such as zero tolerance or watch list, allow- ing fl eets to centrally manage the program by applying company-specifi c business rules in a consistent and standardized process throughout the organization while helping managers understand what areas need retraining relative to their policies. Customers implementing the vid- eo-based safety program can begin with SmartDrive's best practice confi guration and adjust over time, or customize at the start. SmartDrive says its Customer Success Managers (CSM), who are safety experts in specifi c industry verticals, can 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," says Steve Mitgang, chief executive offi cer of Smart- Drive. "To remain competitive, they can't afford to be locked into a 'one-size-fi ts-all' approach. Whether it is market expansion into new verticals or geographic areas, new regulatory requirements or the on- going dynamics of hiring and managing drivers, fl eets 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 ad- vantage of our proven best practices." – Aaron Huff SmartDrive designs custom scoring feature Text INFO to 205-289-3554 or visit www.ccjdigital.com/info SmartDrive's Custom Coaching and Scoring allows fleets to easily tune the video-based safety program to their individual risk priorities and safety policies.
