Managing fleet operations in the oilfield industry comes with unique challenges — from vehicle maintenance and compliance to driver safety in remote locations and across multiple jurisdictions.In this edition of the State of the Fleet Industry video series, Chris Brown speaks with James Victory of NOV (National Oilwell Varco) about managing a fleet of more than 3,000 power units and trailers supporting oilfield service operations across the U.S. Victory discusses how NOV navigates maintenance complexity, DOT compliance, and telematics deployment across more than 150 locations.Victory explains how the company uses Geotab and telematics technology to improve driver behavior, support safety coaching, and better manage regulated commercial vehicles. He also shares how in-cab coaching significantly improved driver performance within weeks and why fleet safety ultimately comes down to ensuring every employee returns home safely.

Introduction What if the most dangerous thing about a commercial fleet route could be identified before the truck ever left the yard? The insurance industry has spent decades pricing commercial auto risk using historical loss data and, more recently, real-time telematics. But neither tells you what's waiting around the next bend. The forward-looking layer has never existed. Goetz Weber is a theoretical physicist turned mapping executive turned insurtech founder. After a decade at TomTom and HERE Technologies optimizing routes for time and distance, he asked a different question: why isn't anyone optimizing for risk? RouteRisk.ai is his answer. The company scores every commercial route across sixty-plus variables before dispatch, producing what Weber calls "a FICO score for fleet routes." In this conversation, Josh Hollander and Weber dig into the science behind segment-level route scoring, the insurance market's fourteen-year losing streak on commercial auto, and why giving the technology away for free might be the smartest distribution strategy in fleet insurtech. Guest Bio Goetz Weber holds a PhD in quantum field theory and spent over a decade in the navigation and mapping industry, serving as VP of Innovation at TomTom and previously at HERE Technologies. In those roles, he worked directly with fleet operators, fleet management companies, and logistics platforms. He founded RouteRisk.ai to address a gap he identified firsthand: routing companies optimize for cost, time, and distance, but nobody scores risk. RouteRisk is now Series A funded, integrating with platforms like Samsara, and building its go-to-market for insurance distribution. Key Topics • The missing layer in fleet risk assessment - Historical data looks backward, telematics looks at the present, but nobody scores what's about to happen. RouteRisk fills the forward-looking gap with pre-dispatch route scoring. • Sixty-plus variables in a single route score - Static road geometry, forward weather, traffic predictions, vehicle physics, cargo sensitivity, theft corridors, and incident history, all scored at the segment level and aggregated with interaction effects. • The FICO analogy for fleet routes - A composite risk score that tells dispatchers, fleet operators, and insurers the risk profile of a specific route, at a specific time, for a specific vehicle carrying specific cargo. • Risk appetite as underwriting data - When a fleet operator chooses a route scored at 80 over one scored at 40, that decision is captured. Over time, this builds a behavioral profile of risk appetite that insurers have never had access to. • Free-to-fleet, monetize-through-insurance - RouteRisk gives the scoring tool to fleet operators at no cost (reducing their accidents and insurance leverage) and sells the risk decision data to carriers and reinsurers. • Three paths to insurance market entry - Form a proprietary MGA, partner with existing fleet insurers on incentive-based pricing, or go directly to reinsurers who bear nuclear verdict risk. • Why this isn't the telematics adoption problem - Telematics monitors drivers (creating resistance). RouteRisk scores roads and empowers dispatchers. No cameras, no surveillance, no cost barrier. Notable Quotes "I think of vehicles moving through space as moving through risk fields, dynamic risk fields that come and go, whether it's weather, traffic, road conditions, theft hotspots." "If I show you two routes and one has a risk score of forty and one has a risk score of eighty, and you choose the eighty, I've captured your risk appetite. And that data is gold for an insurer." "If you and I both go to a ski resort, but you do extreme downhill and I do cross-country, technically we should have different insurance programs. Our data reveals which fleet operators are the extreme downhillers and which are the cross-country skiers." "Risk should be visible and manageable before it materializes, not just measured after it has."

How much difference can a few seconds of data make in fleet safety?In this episode of Automotive Fleet on the Move, we connect with Steve Santostasi of @Ford Pro about how higher-resolution telematics data is giving fleets a clearer picture of driver behavior and safety events.Traditionally, many telematics systems have captured vehicle data in 30-second intervals. Moving to 5-second data intervals provides fleets with much more detailed insight into what actually happens before and during safety events — helping safety managers better understand risk patterns and improve driver coaching.

Most people never think about the technology behind construction equipment rentals. But behind every crane, excavator, and lift is an industry still running on paper, spreadsheets, and manual workflows.In this episode, Andy Feis, CEO and Co-Founder of Renterra, joins Amir to explain how a hundred billion dollar equipment rental market is finally entering the modern software era. The conversation explores how operational software, telematics data, and AI are reshaping one of the most overlooked parts of the industrial economy. Andy shares how rental companies manage fleets of expensive machines, why legacy workflows still dominate the industry, and how platforms like Renterra are bringing cloud software and automation to a sector that has largely been left behind by the tech revolution.This episode also explores the intersection of operational data, AI automation, and real world infrastructure. From fleet optimization to automated maintenance insights, the future of equipment rental may look very different than it does today.Key Takeaways• The equipment rental industry is a massive but overlooked market where over half of construction equipment is rented rather than owned.• Many rental businesses still run critical operations using pen and paper, manual inspections, and outdated spreadsheets.• Operational software is the first step toward modernization, helping companies manage inventory, dispatch, pricing, and maintenance.• Telematics data from machines unlocks powerful insights around maintenance timing, asset valuation, and fleet utilization.• AI will not replace the physical work in industrial sectors, but it can automate low value operational tasks and dramatically improve decision making.Timestamped Highlights00:00 Introducing the hidden technology opportunity inside the equipment rental industry02:00 Why many rental companies still rely on paper, binders, and manual equipment checks06:20 How Andy Feis discovered a massive opportunity inside industrial operations09:00The low hanging fruit in modernizing equipment rental workflows11:14 What kind of data heavy machines actually generate and how it can be used13:03 Where AI actually helps blue collar industries today20:18 The roadmap for modernizing the industry and what comes nextA Moment That Stuck“The industrial sector is an enormous part of the economy, but it has been one of the last places to feel the impact of the broader tech revolution.” Pro TipsIf you are building technology for legacy industries, start with operational efficiency before advanced analytics.Modernization works best when it removes friction from existing workflows.

Introduction In this episode of the Insurtech Leadership Podcast, host Josh Hollander sits down with Gemma Ros, CTO at The Zebra, to unpack their 2026 State of Auto Insurance Report. They explore what's driving premium divergence across states, how affordability pressure is reshaping consumer behavior, and where regulation, loss costs, and distribution dynamics collide. Guest Bio Gemma Ros is CTO at The Zebra, one of the largest insurance comparison platforms in the United States. Born in Spain, Gemma built her career across engineering and data roles before joining The Zebra, where she leads the technology organization responsible for data infrastructure, product engineering, and AI capabilities. She brings a unique perspective as both a technologist and an insurance industry insider who sees real-time consumer shopping behavior at scale. Key Topics • State-by-state premium divergence — Auto insurance premiums are not stabilizing uniformly. Regulatory environments, loss cost trends, and competitive dynamics are creating vastly different realities depending on where you live. • Affordability pressure and coverage erosion — Consumers facing higher premiums are choosing higher deductibles, lower coverages, and state minimums — creating knock-on effects for uninsured/underinsured motorist exposure across the market. • Carrier growth signals in ad spending — When carriers increase advertising, it signals growth appetite and competitive pricing — a cue for consumers to reshop their policies. • Rate filing dynamics — New rates are being filed and going into effect daily, making the market a moving target for both consumers and distribution partners. • Telematics and ADAS impact on underwriting — Usage-based insurance and advanced driver assistance systems are beginning to reshape how risk is priced, though widespread impact is still unfolding. • Autonomous vehicles and insurance implications — The shift from driver liability to product/manufacturer liability as autonomy scales, and what that means for carriers. • Taking AI from fun to material impact — Gemma's 2026 engineering theme: moving AI adoption from experimental to scalable, repeatable, and operationalized across the entire engineering organization. Quotes • "It's never a bad idea to shop around. Educate yourself — you might be leaving money on the table." • "If you start seeing a lot more ads for insurance companies on TV or on podcasts, that's a good time to reshop — the carriers are signaling they want to grow." • "My main theme for 2026 is taking AI from fun to material impact."

Brakes are the final frontier for telematics on Class 8 trucks.But Hendrickson Vehicle Systems is close to a breakthrough that may change the game when it comes to getting real-time brake system information back to fleets.HDT talked to Jeff Moris, director, axle, brake and wheel-end systems at Hendrickson to find out more about how these new telematics technology will work.#HDTTalksTrucking#Class8trucks#truckingsafety#truckbrakesKey takeaways:• Brakes are a harsh environment for electronics, which is why they have been a “last frontier” for heavy-duty telematics.• The bigger brake telematic opportunity for fleets may be with trailers, not tractors.• Disc brakes already have a head start on sensing, including basic wear sensors and more advanced continuous wear monitoring.• The real challenge is bringing meaningful sensing to drum brakes, because drum brakes still dominate U.S. trailers.• Getting the data to the right person fast is as important as sensing it.

-Introduction TomTom isn't just “navigation” anymore. In this episode of the InsurTech Leadership Podcast, Josh Hollander talks with Vinod Poomalai, Head of InsurTech Product Marketing at TomTom, about how insurers are using location, map, and traffic intelligence to improve how they price risk, validate claims, and build telematics programs that actually produce underwriting signal. Guest bio Vinod Pumalai leads go-to-market for TomTom's insurance and InsurTech vertical. His work focuses on helping carriers, brokers, actuaries, and InsurTech teams integrate TomTom's location and traffic data into risk models, pricing engines, and telematics workflows—with a practical emphasis on adoption inside real operating environments. Key topics -From static territories to live location intelligence -Why “territory” is a crude proxy—and how mobility patterns add resolution to risk. -Territory risk models powered by traffic + map data -How insurers use location and traffic attributes to refine pricing and portfolio strategy. -Telematics enablement: APIs, SDKs, and flexible integration -What teams actually plug into, and what the implementation path looks like in practice. -Claims validation and fraud detection using mobility history -Using historical mobility/traffic context to validate events faster and reduce leakage. -Where experimentation becomes operational value -The difference between demos and workflows that move loss ratio outcomes. -What the insurance market is missing in location data -Why the market has been underserved—and what that creates as an opportunity. -Talent and leadership required to make it real -Product, data, and insurance domain collaboration: what “good” looks like inside carriers. Quotes -“The insurance market as a whole is very underserved when it comes to location data, traffic data, and so on.” -“At the end of the day, what our clients really care about… is loss ratios.” -“Customers are leveraging our traffic data in validating auto insurance claims.” Resources -Vinod Poomalai: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vinod-kumar-poomalai/ -TomTom Insurtech: https://www.tomtom.com/solutions/insurtech/ -Joshua Hollander: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuarhollander/ If you found this useful, subscribe to the InsurTech Leadership Podcast on YouTube and your preferred podcast app. Share the episode with an underwriting, claims, or telematics leader on your team—and leave a review to help more operators find the show.

On the Insurance Coffee House podcast, host Nick Hoadley welcomes Elyse Myrans, CEO & Co-Founder of Tenax ai, a climate-tech startup using computer vision and AI to protect homes and their insurability, from extreme weather.Speaking from Los Angeles, Elyse shares how Tenax ai delivers property-level risk assessments for wildfire, flood and wind in 20–30 minutes via a smartphone or drone, then ingests the imagery through proprietary models to detect hundreds of features (roof class, vegetation proximity, vent mesh, window type and more). She explains why forward-looking, parcel-level data outperforms regional, backward-looking models, and how Tenax ai's outputs plug directly into carrier underwriting workflows (they provide the features and confidence, insurers keep their own pricing).Elyse also highlights the homeowner experience: tailored mitigation plans with prioritised actions and referrals to local vendors, removing “speed bumps to action” so customers can reduce risk, lower premiums over time, and even move properties back inside the band of insurability. She draws a useful analogy to telematics in auto insurance: dynamic, behavior/feature-based data enabling more accurate pricing and better outcomes for both carriers and policyholders.In the Espresso Round, Elyse discusses building a tech-insurance hybrid team, why empathy and trust are non-negotiables in startup culture, and offers candid advice for insurance leaders considering the shift to insurtech: get comfortable with the unknown, stay nimble, and keep your eye on what matters as conditions change.Connect with Elyse Myrans on LinkedIn and learn more about Tenax ai.The Insurance Coffee House Podcast is brought to you by Insurance Search.We are a global Insurance Executive Search Consultancy, supporting Insurance and Insurtech businesses to attract and retain the very best insurance talent.Find out more about showcasing your employer brand as a guest on the Insurance Coffee House Podcast or sign up to our News and Insights.Or follow us on LinkedIn, Twitter or Instagram.Insurance Executive Search Consultants in USA, London and Bermuda.Copyright Insurance Search 2025 - All Rights Reserved.

How can technology revolutionize road safety for the 1.5 billion drivers on the road today? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Hari Balakrishnan and Bill Powers, co-founders of Cambridge Mobile Telematics (CMT), the world's largest telematics service provider. Their unique partnership—blending Hari's engineering genius, honored with the 2023 Marconi Prize, and Bill's entrepreneurial prowess as an “atypical tech CEO”—has built a unicorn company dedicated to making roads safer. We explore how CMT's AI-driven platform, DriveWell®, leverages sensor data from IoT devices like smartphones, dashcams, and connected vehicles to provide a unified view of driver behavior. By collaborating with insurers, automakers, and the public sector, CMT not only assesses risk but actively incentivizes safer driving behaviors, reducing crash rates by up to 20% with some partners. Hari and Bill also delve into the challenges of addressing "phone distraction," which contributes to nearly a third of crashes, and the paradox of advanced safety tech not correlating to fewer accidents. They highlight the importance of improving infrastructure for connected and autonomous vehicles, refining human-machine interfaces, and developing solutions that protect vulnerable road users outside of vehicles. As we unpack the story of how an “odd couple” with complementary skills created a global leader in road safety, we'll also look to the future of mobility and the transformative role technology will play. What does the next generation of driving safety look like, and how can we all contribute to making the roads safer? Tune in to find out, and share your thoughts on the evolving landscape of mobility.

Telematics Data is Reshaping Our Understanding of Road Networks In this episode MIT Professor Hari Balakrishnan explains how Cambridge Mobile Telematics (CMT) is transforming traditional road network analysis by layering dynamic behavioural data onto static map geometries.  Telematics data creates "living maps" that go beyond traditional road geometry and attributes. By collecting movement data from 45 million users through phones and IoT devices, CMT has developed sophisticated models that can: - Generate dynamic risk maps showing crash probability for every road segment globally - Detect infrastructure issues that aren't visible in traditional mapping (like poorly placed bus stops) - Validate and correct map attributes like speed limits and lane connectivity - Differentiate between overpasses and intersections using movement patterns - Create contextual understanding of road segments based on actual usage patterns Particularly interesting for GIS professionals is CMT's approach to data fusion, combining traditional map geometry with temporal movement data to create predictive models. This has practical applications from infrastructure planning to autonomous vehicle navigation, where understanding the cultural context of road usage proves as important as precise geometry. The episode challenges traditional static approaches to road network mapping, suggesting that the future lies in dynamic, behavior-informed spatial data models that can adapt to changing conditions and usage patterns. For anyone working with transportation networks or smart city initiatives, this episode provides valuable insights into how movement data is changing our understanding of road infrastructure and spatial behaviour.   Connect with Hari on LinkedIn! https://www.linkedin.com/in/hari-balakrishnan-0702263/ Cambridge Mobile Telematics https://www.cmtelematics.com/   BTW,  I keep busy creating free mapping tools and publishing them there https://mapscaping.com/map-tools/ swing by and take a look!
