SLB cuts distracted driving by 99% and reduces their accident rate
This energy leader enhances their US safety program and fleet operations with end-to-end visibility provided by the Connected Operations Cloud.
Meet SLB
Lack of in-cab visibility slowed safety progress.
With US operations headquartered in Houston, Texas, SLB is a global technology company driving innovation in the energy industry. SLB values their people above all and is dedicated to delivering new technologies and outstanding performance to their customers.
Previously, SLB used a legacy telematics provider that reported on basic vehicle metrics such as speeding and harsh braking. When reviewing their telematics data, they needed to know if instances of flagged unsafe driving events were related to at-risk or defensive-driving behaviors, but without visibility into the cab, it was difficult to understand the situation without a complete investigation. Additionally, despite a year-over-year decline in accidents, SLB looked to further strengthen their safety culture with the most advanced technology available.
End-to-end visibility drives safety and efficiency.
As a leader in the energy industry, SLB decided to roll out AI Dash Cams and Vehicle Telematics to bring real-time visibility and robust data to their safety program. Installation of their 1,900 devices went quickly and smoothly. “Rollout was an easy process because of the simple, plug-and-play nature of installation,” said Alejo Ordonez, US Driving Manager, SLB. By deploying advanced safety technology, SLB aims to improve the safety of their operations and also inspire their peers to adopt similar preventative solutions.
Saving time and reducing accidents with vehicle visibility.
SLB has a proven record of reducing their accident rate year over year and continuously looks for opportunities to prevent future accidents. With limited visibility into their vehicles, they didn’t have the full picture of what happened behind the wheel when an incident occurred.
Using AI Dash Cam footage, they can efficiently and remotely investigate incidents with insight into what was happening in and around the vehicle at the time of impact. As a result, SLB has reduced incident investigation time by over 90% to less than a few hours. Moreover, they can easily identify driving trends that can lead to accidents, such as distracted driving, and adjust their coaching and safety messaging to help protect drivers.
SLB’s ultimate goal is to prevent accidents from happening in the first place. With AI Dash Cams’ in-cab alerts for a range of behaviors—from mobile phone use to following distance—SLB’s drivers are empowered to self-correct behaviors in real time to prevent dangerous situations. By helping drivers stay focused on the road, SLB decreased distracted driving by 99% and reduced their total motor vehicle crash rate by almost one-third in less than one year.
Preventing accidents with AI-powered coaching.
Previously, SLB had limited visibility into their vehicles so when incidents occurred, investigations were manual and time consuming. Now, easy-to-access footage from AI Dash Cams helps cut investigation time by over 90%. Additionally, in-cab alerts help prevent accidents with real-time coaching—in less than one year SLB reduced distracted driving by 99% and decreased their accident rate considerably with AI-powered alerts and enhanced safety messaging.
LEARN HOW
Promoting a culture of positivity and accountability.
Continuous improvement supported by training is core to SLB’s safety program, but without access to in-depth driver performance data, their coaching opportunities were limited. They introduced the Driver App to expand their training program with individualized reporting for each driver. Now, managers and drivers alike have access to robust performance data for enhanced learning opportunities. The Driver App’s visual reporting gives SLB another tool to improve safety by enabling managers to give proactive and relevant feedback to their employees.
This visibility has greatly improved accountability for both managers and drivers. With insights from the Driver App, leadership can celebrate the outstanding performance of 95% of their drivers and promote a positive driving culture. Beyond one-on-one coaching, SLB has taken advantage of the Virtual Coach module, which empowers drivers to review their own behaviors without manager intervention—ultimately self motivating drivers to consistently practice safe behaviors.
Driver performance data enables positive recognition.
Previously, SLB didn’t have sufficient driver behavior data which limited coaching opportunities. Since rolling out the Driver App, they have enabled personalized, manager-led coaching and promoted accountability with their drivers to proactively improve safety habits at scale. Today, SLB is proud to recognize the outstanding performance of their team with over 95% of their drivers consistently practicing ideal safety behaviors behind the wheel.
