About

Our Story

eDriving’s mission is to help our clients reduce incidents, collisions, injuries, license violations, carbon emissions and the total cost of fleet ownership, thereby ensuring that all drivers return home safely to their loved ones at the end of each day.

We provide organizations with everything they need to achieve and sustain a crash-free culture^® that does not accept collisions as an inevitable part of driving for work.

To our proven Crash-Free Culture^® program, Mentor by eDriving^SM adds its innovative smartphone-based telematics app to monitor risky driving behaviors, assign a FICO^® Safe Driving Score predictive of a driver’s likelihood to be in a collision, and remediate risky behavior by prescribing interactive micro-training and coaching directly to drivers in the Mentor app.

We wrap this unique solution with our patented, five-stage approach to driver risk management used by Fortune 500 companies throughout the world and recognized with over 125+ client and partner awards. Finally, we provide managers with the tools needed to maintain consistent communication with drivers and reinforce messaging to make safety part of everyday priorities.
