Overview

SambaSafety is a driver risk management platform serving commercial and personal auto insurers, commercial fleets, and brokers across North America and the United Kingdom. The platform consolidates motor vehicle records, telematics data, CSA violations, and claims history into a unified risk intelligence dashboard, enabling organizations to monitor driver behavior continuously and intervene before losses occur.

The platform delivers direct DMV connections across all 50 U.S. states, integrations with 100+ telematics service providers, and AI-powered risk scoring based on combined MVR history, telematics behavior, and historical claims data. Core capabilities include real-time driver monitoring with automated alerts, online driver training with 400+ courses, electronic vehicle registration, and customizable analytics dashboards. The solution is delivered as a cloud-native SaaS platform with API access for integration into customer systems.

Founded in 1998, SambaSafety serves more than 16,000 organizations and has accumulated 25+ years of driver risk data. The company was acquired by Stone Point Capital from ABRY Partners and HarbourVest Partners in September 2021. In November 2025, Stone Point Capital made a further capital injection to accelerate product development. A 13-year internal claims analysis found that combining continuous driver monitoring with targeted training reduces claims frequency by 22%, claims costs by 24%, and bodily injury claims by 50%.
