Product Description

SambaSafety offers the industry’s most comprehensive driver risk management platform, Qorta. Continuous MVR monitoring automatically alerts you of new violations, from speeding tickets to more serious incidents like DUIs, whether they occur on or off the clock. MVR scoring and advanced reporting help you quickly identify at and high-risk drivers so you can intervene before they’re involved in an incident or disqualified. Intervention is made simple with 180 online driver training courses built directly in the platform. By switching to SambaSafety, customers, on average, reduce violations by 22%, crashes by 14% and insurance premiums by 16%.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Device Agnostic: Unlike Telematics Service Providers, SambaSafety does not provide hardware. Our Risk Cloud is device agnostic, allowing you to integrate data from existing telematics devices directly into our platform.

Comprehensive Workflows: SambaSafety is the only provider offering continuous MVR, CSA and telematics monitoring, crash and claims management, driver training and reporting in a single platform, allowing customers to quickly identify, track and act on risky drivers.

360-Degree View of Risk: Due to the volume of data and varying formats in which it’s delivered, analyzing data from various sources is overwhelming. We offer the industry's only Risk Index, normalizing and standardizing data into a single score, allowing for consistency and accuracy when comparing driver risk across an entire fleet.

High-Quality Online Training: Say goodbye to dated training videos, lengthy courses and boring booklets. SambaSafety’s in-house team delivers a comprehensive course catalog covering a wide range of vehicle types and topics.

What do you like best about SambaSafety?

Many years ago we started using Samba to keep us in compliance with CA laws/regulations. Although there was a lot of initial paperwork for CA, Samba helped navigate us through it all. Seems like they are more robust than they were then, so all the better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SambaSafety?

I don't really have much to say on dislikes other than once we signed up and everything was working well, I never heard from anybody. I didn't need any help. The system is pretty straightforward, but found this interesting never to hear from anybody until I reached out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SambaSafety solving and how is that benefiting you?

When we were using SambaSafety they were helping us maintain compliance in the state of California. They provided monitoring on our drivers' traffic violations to ensure they also met our company driving criteria. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jessica Bramall of SambaSafety

Hi Frank! Thank you for sharing your experience with SambaSafety! We greatly appreciate your long-term partnership with us in maintaining compliance with California laws and regulations. We understand that the initial paperwork for California requirements may have been extensive, and we're glad that SambaSafety was able to guide you through the process. We also continuously strive to enhance our services, ensuring an improved experience for our valued customers like you.

It's great to hear you didn't need any help, but our intent is to provide the right level of support based on your specific needs. We try to balance our communication so that it doesn't feel annoying or too infrequent, so we appreciate your feedback and will be reaching out more frequently in the future to ensure you have the appropriate level of support.

What do you like best about SambaSafety?

The integration is very convenient. Results are mostly instant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SambaSafety?

Their made up fees. The latest is a fee to pay? A “check and network fee” of 25.00 each. "We have the right to increase prices by 5% with the consumer price index" Consumer? Huh? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SambaSafety solving and how is that benefiting you?

Fleet tracking is the only option offered on this review page. We use MVR reports for background checks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jessica Bramall of SambaSafety

We are glad to hear that you value the speed and convenience of our solution when it comes to performing background checks.

We appreciate you sharing your concerns regarding our fees. The network access fee is a nominal fee used to cover the costs associated with maintaining and improving our network infrastructure which our customers rely on to be robust and available. This fee allows for ongoing investments in hardware, software and security. SambaSafety regularly evaluates fees and is committed to developing and adopting a standardized practice for price increases.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please reach out to your account manager or email us at success@sambasafety.com.

What do you like best about SambaSafety?

i like how reliable and detailed the information is; the turnaround times for buying MVR's in Samba is almost instant, and i love being able to find almost any answer that i need in Samba. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SambaSafety?

The only thing i dislike about samba is their reports on the insights tab. I'm no sure if it's just how im using the filters but the info doesnt seem reliable compared to the "Score Dashboards" but thats only if you're looking for expired DL's. i would also say i dont like how some states are enrollment states and some arent. I think it would be easier if all states were enrollment states. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SambaSafety solving and how is that benefiting you?

Samba helps us monitor over 13,000 employees that drive company vehicles/ drive on time. Our policy enables drivers to stay authorized in our system; by doing that, Samba points out any moving violations that would be concerning. It also gives more insight/ trends into the most violations and when they are occurring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jessica Bramall of SambaSafety

Thank you for your feedback! It's wonderful to hear that you appreciate the reliability, timeliness and detailed nature of our solution.

We appreciate your input about our reporting capabilities and have shared your thoughts with our Product Team for future enhancements.

If you would like each state to work like an enrollment state, we offer the ability to order an MVR at the time of enrollment to simulate that behavior. Today, we limit our enrollment states to those that require it in order to save our customers money on MVRs that aren't strictly required. That way, customers can make the decision on whether they want to order any additional MVRs. Feel free to reach out to your Customer Success Manager for additional assistance.

We are grateful for the opportunity to support you in maintaining a safe and compliant environment for your drivers. If you have any further feedback or questions, please let us know. We're here to assist you in any way we can.

What do you like best about SambaSafety?

Running MVR's is quick and simple. The dashboard is excellent for a quick view of which drivers need attention. We also like the new MVR activity notices that bring new activity to our attention so we can review it for action in a timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SambaSafety?

Records aren't updated automatically when a driver renews his license. Months later it will still come up as expired. Updating a record and having to turn off monitoring for 24 hours then have to remember to turn it back on so the record is updated is cumbersome and not realistic in a larger company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SambaSafety solving and how is that benefiting you?

SambaSafety helps us to track driving behavior that may need prompt attention. The dashboard is a perfect solution for which drivers we need to act on with training, coaching, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jessica Bramall of SambaSafety

Thank you for your review! We're thrilled to hear that you find our MVR process quick and simple, and that the dashboard provides an excellent overview of drivers needing attention.

We appreciate your feedback about records not being automatically updated when a driver renews their license, and we apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused. We have shared your thoughts with our Product Team for future enhancements. Please reach out to your account manager or email us at success@sambasafety.com if you would like additional assistance with this concern.

What do you like best about SambaSafety?

SambaSafety is overall a good platform to help manage MVRs in one place. Receiving automated, scheduled MVRs based on activity is very helpful, and I like being able to stay 'hands off' until something comes up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SambaSafety?

The SambaSafety Qorta interface lacks polish in certain areas. The features are all there, but it is not always easy to navigate. I will say that the onboarding staff is helpful--although our regular account rep is not super responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SambaSafety?

Our old process was 100% manual - MVR processing once per year - a file cabinet full of sensitive documents. Now we have been able to put everything securely online and update info as needed! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SambaSafety?

With all systems, people enter their own data... Sometimes drivers make errors. Then we have to reach out to them to have them edit their info. Additionally, we still need to create a public spreadsheet for Professors and Public Safety to verify who is eleigible on campus to drive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SambaSafety solving and how is that benefiting you?

The MVR tracking provides driving history data as needed-IF needed. Prior, we did MVRs and then went 52 weeks without knowing anything about drivers' activity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jessica Bramall of SambaSafety

Hi Jerry! Thank you for your valuable feedback! We're glad to hear that our solution has allowed you to streamline your MVR processing and provide a more secure way to store sensitive documents online.

We aim to minimize as much manual effort as possible and provide efficient workflows with our solutions, but we also understand that each customer may have unique needs and processes that need to be catered to. We appreciate your feedback and have shared your thoughts with our Product Team for future enhancements.

SambaSafety is a "one-stop shop" when we need continuous monitoring of our team members MVR records. With many team members driving in multiple states, having SambaSafety doing this work is a lifesaver. The entire process, from initial registration and onboarding of team members to daily monitoring, was a straightforward process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, we dislike nothing about Sambasafety or the processes involved with MVR monitoring. We are delighted with Sambasafety. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
