About

Our Story

[Image]

eDriving’s mission is to help our clients reduce collisions, injuries, license violations and Total Cost of 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.

We start by helping organizations to establish safety as a corporate priority. Then, our patented, closed-loop digital driver risk management program, Mentor by eDrivingSM, uses smartphone-based telematics 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 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 100 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.
