NEW YORK — Voyager Global Mobility (VGM), a leading service provider in the rideshare industry, is revolutionizing driver safety with SafeMode, a pioneering behavioral analytics technology. Utilizing innovative, data-driven strategies, the partnership has successfully enhanced road safety in VGM’s top three markets—shifting driver behavior, reducing accidents and lowering operational costs. VGM seeks to expand this approach to its growing fleet of 10,000 vehicles across North and Central America.
Utilizing advanced telematics, sophisticated data review, and VGMs unparalleled understanding of rideshare driver’s needs, the SafeMode pilot proved that influencing driver safety is the next frontier in the rideshare industry.
Impressive Results and Forward-Looking Strategies
The collaboration between VGM and SafeMode has led to a 37% reduction in speeding durations and a 52% decrease in overall safety violations. These improvements have significantly lowered insurance costs and expenses related to damages and repairs, setting a new standard in the industry.
“Through our strategic partnership with SafeMode, we are reinforcing our market dominance with cutting-edge safety improvements,” said Sam Jurkowicz, CEO of VGM. He added that “while other projects seek to study some of the driver behavior, like when they are logged into Uber or Lyft, VGM’s pilot is unique in that we can impact driver behavior 24/7, across all rideshare platforms.”
Ido Levy, CEO of SafeMode, added, “Our technology is transforming fleet management practices significantly, enhancing driver behavior and safety across the board.”
Recognition and Innovation in the Insurance Sector
The integration of SafeMode’s technology into VGM’s operations has earned the Captive International Award for Best Technology Provider to the Insurance Industry. This accolade highlights the effectiveness of their solutions in managing high-risk aspects of rideshare operations.
The rideshare industry is undergoing a significant transformation from owner-operated to rental vehicle models, escalating market reach while amplifying insurance liabilities. VGM’s innovative approach is crucial in managing these emerging risks.
Capitalizing on this success, VGM and Safemode seek to expand data-driven behavior enhancements throughout the United States, to existing and future VGM markets.
“By advancing rental models and utilizing SafeMode’s technology, VGM is poised to lead the future of global rideshare services,” stated a company spokesperson.
