SambaSafety has introduced Qorta, a national driver monitoring platform that offers federal and state data on drivers and combines it with analytics to help fleets stay on top of driver risk.

Qorta allows fleets to load and manage drivers, report consistently across states and customize driver lists, user access and alerts and includes the ability to generate reports and benchmarks. Qorta offers near real-time insight into high-, medium-, and low-risk drivers with access to all employee driving data on a single platform.

Proactive information and analytics can help improve driver retention, lower costs and reduce liability exposure, according to SambaSafety.

“Our goal with Qorta is to put a revolutionary driver intelligence resource into the hands of every safety director so they can proactively manage driver risk,” said Allison Guidette, chief executive officer, SambaSafety. “Nearly every company has employees or contractors that drive for work. Qorta can help every organization remove blind spots, reduce liability exposure and costs, and promote the strongest safety culture possible.”
