SambaSafety has partnered with General Information Services (GIS), a NAPBS-accredited employment background screening company, to provide expanded criminal and driver monitoring offerings, according to the company.
GIS will now be using new driver records monitoring software powered by SambaSafety. This newly added Motor Vehicle Records (MVR) solution paired with the company’s ongoing criminal monitoring solution will provide GIS customers with a comprehensive risk management solution.
"We are happy to partner with SambaSafety to now provide two key post-hire solutions that monitor our clients’ employees beyond the pre-employment phase, helping to control their risk," said Albert Bueno, CEO of GIS.
GIS’s new driver records monitoring solution will help GIS clients save money, keep the roads safer and protect their property and reputation, according to the company.
It features a standardized scoring system based on offense (as opposed to license point value, which is inconsistent across states), plus the ability to see how individual drivers are trending – whether their risk score is going up or down – and why they’re trending in that fashion.
"We are happy to partner with GIS to further their mission to provide employers with solutions to mitigate risk and hire smarter," said Richard Crawford, CEO of SambaSafety. "The partners we work are essential in helping us to drive change and driver safety, making North American roads and the people who travel them safer."
