Mentor Insight by eDriving
eDriving, a subsidiary of Solera, assists organisations worldwide in reducing incidents, collisions, injuries, licence violations, carbon emissions, and the total cost of fleet ownership through its patented digital driver risk management programs.
Mentor Insight, a tailored version of our award-winning Mentor app, excludes telematics data yet still provides many of the most effective tools in digital driver risk management. This includes risk assessment, predictive driver scoring, eLearning, manager coaching, and gamification, all within a data-secure environment that ensures driver privacy at every stage.
From our extensive experience with some of the world’s largest fleets, we understand that the integration of telematics can occasionally raise concerns among drivers and work councils. Therefore, we have developed a custom version that achieves comprehensive risk insights without relying on telematics data.
