Introduction
There are rarely any rewards for business leaders who avoid taking risks. After all, even the most tried-and-true strategies need to be retired as demands evolve, ideally risking some short-term disruption in exchange for more long-term success.
When you consider risk through the lens of your driving employees or field teams, however, it’s a much more complicated and multifaceted premise.
In this context, risk encompasses liability exposure and even legal and tax compliance considerations that can have an impact on your corporate bottom line if not managed strategically and with expertise.

Visibility to Ensure Safe, Secure and Agile Field Teams
It’s important to ground this conversation in just how essential your f ield teams are to the success of your business. Whether in sales, support or any other driving employee function, these field teams need safe and effective support strategies and tools to ensure they can execute their day-to-day responsibilities, meet business objectives, and keep operations on the right track.
While these employees are essential to company productivity, they also can pose an inherent business risk if not managed appropriately. When any member of your field team gets behind the wheel for work, their personal behavior becomes the responsibility and liability of your business.
Viewed through this lens, it’s critical that businesses have the visibility and insights into how ‘fit-to-drive’ each member of their driving workforce really is.
While companies ultimately must accept the risk of trusting their driving employees to be on their best behavior on the clock, even minor collisions involving an uninsured or unlicensed member of your field team can unlock significant, expensive penalties for both the employee and your business.
Historically, manual processes for identifying high-risk drivers have been t ime-consuming and prone to gaps, with managers having to align disparate data from an array of siloed sources with little assurance of accuracy or timeliness. In practice, just compiling this information across the driving workforce could take days each quarter—and once complete, teams have no active way to keep tabs on an employee’s status until the next check-in. In fact, an employee could experience a driving violation the day after a manual motor vehicle records (MVR) investigation is complete, with no alert or notice flagged to the driver manager. This leaves admin teams with blind spots into the true risk posed by their field teams, while lacking a starting point for issue resolution.
Along with the financial and reputational consequences of unlicensed, uninsured or simply poor driving habits, this lack of due diligence can also push your business out of compliance with the IRS and labor laws.
