“SambaSafety has built a strong system for evaluating driver performance,” said Marius Karoy, chief business officer of ITI, in a release. “This partnership will reduce the time gap between when a company learns there's a safety problem and when they take action to stop it. We're very excited to be working with SambaSafety. We've admired them for a number of years, and now our collective monitoring, training and recordkeeping capabilities will help companies improve safety and limit risk and liability.”

“By using our data and ITI’s Pro-Tread online training, our customers can quickly close the loop on unsafe driver behavior and safety improvement," said Steve Bryan, executive vice president and general manager of transportation for SambaSafety. "We help clients spot safety problems, and with ITI’s high quality content, accessible technology, and effective support they can fix them.”
