CarriersEdge and Viewnyx Take Driver Quality Improvement to the Next Level

April 11, 2008 – MARKHAM / OTTAWA, ON – Viewnyx, a driving safety service provider, and CarriersEdge, the leading provider of online driver improvement systems, announced today that they have entered into an agreement that will see fleet customers benefit from a combined suite of continuous driver safety and quality improvement services.

As well as giving in-cab warnings for un-intentional lane departures, Viewnyx’s camera-based Lookout system identifies high-risk drivers and isolates their problem driving behaviours, providing video clips to identify and correct habits. CarriersEdge provides online training, testing and reporting tools that allow fleets to identify gaps in driver knowledge and close those gaps without sacrificing mileage or driver home time.

Under the agreement, the CarriersEdge driver development service becomes available as a bundled service offering with Viewnyx’s Lookout collision warning and driving analysis system.  This includes the full suite of CarriersEdge modules, such as defensive driving, HOS & logbooks, dangerous goods, and cargo securement, among others.

 “This is a natural fit,” said Mark Murrell, President of CarriersEdge. “Viewnyx has an excellent web-based system for monitoring on-road performance and identifying at-risk behaviour. Paired with the online driver improvement in CarriersEdge, it’s a powerful combination.”

“Viewnyx is focused on providing a complete driving safety and quality improvement solution to our customers”, added Ellen Warren, VP Marketing of Viewnyx. “By including CarriersEdge as a bundled service, our customers now have access to industry-leading online training and assessment.”
