We fully comprehend the challenges and the issues in the transporta on
industry, be it the escala ng costs, poor infrastructure, increase in
accidents and damages, increase in transit insurance premiums and the
many other challenges posed by a fairly unorganized sector of
transporters, and the resultant risks.

We provide a complete transporta on loss minimiza on

solu on for automobile manufacturers be it two wheelers, three
wheelers or four wheelers, with a focus on risk mi ga on, loss reduc on
and increase in bo om line.

Focussing on Driver, Road and

Vehicle safety aspects.
CARGO LOSS MINIMISATION STUDIES
Reducing over the road cargo losses can be a daun ng task. The leading causes of loss or
damage to goods in transit are besides collision, rollovers, jerks & jolts, the , pilferage &
spoilage. Another common cause is the result of improper cargo handling. Carriers should have
processes to monitor and evaluate loading and unloading prac ces. Policies should also be in
place to ensure that adequate blocking, cleats, braces, straps, load bars, separators, fill
material, and locking devices are used. Drivers should be trained to iden fy any visible damage
and properly no fying their findings.

FLEET AUDITS
Vehicles in good condi on don’t just mean
a good brand image, but also play a cri cal
role in ensuring the safety of your goods
and people. Over me, a growing fleet and
mul ple transporters can cause issues like
aging vehicles & poor maintenance to go
un-no ced. A periodic and systemic review
of your fleet will help you in mi ga ng risks
and take vital preven ve measures.

Developing a robust Transporta on Safety

Management System in alignment with
ISO 39001 is what we do best.

JOURNEY RISK MANAGEMENT

A robust Journey Risk Management (JRM) entails a scien fic route
assessment by mapping all types of en-route hazards, & facili es
(Emergency response services, Fuel Sta ons, Bridge, Intersec ons,
Accident Spots, Work Zone Area, Recrea on facili es, transporta on
supports, safe parking places, etc.). We can tailor make these surveys to
suit your specific needs be it safe cargo movement for hazardous cargo,
high value goods, over dimensional cargo or people moving people
transporta on services.

We give you specific pointers on areas like the following.

• Night driving suitability
• Route suitability for a par cular category of vehicle

A COMPLETE DRIVER ENGAGEMENT
AND TRAINING PROGRAM
We understand that in all of this, the driver is a key spoke in the safety wheel. We know the challenges
associated with poor literacy levels, high a ri on, poor morale of the driver community, lack of formal
driver training etc. We also understand that therefore a tradi onal approach to training may not be the
path to responsible and safe behaviour. So while our programs are comprehensive we are also innova ve
and unique in our mul -pronged approach to Driver Training and Accredita on.

DRIVER MANAGEMENT CENTRES,
causing driver transformation
India remains No. 1 in road accidents in the world and nearly 17 people die every hour. Reports have
shown that consistently around 75-77% of these accidents is due to human error, which creates the need
for robust road safety consciousness and training.

Our studies show that training and a regular engagement with drivers ensures safe driver behaviour,

Our specialist DMC counsellors at client loca ons act as a bridge between vendors, contractors, drivers
and others who are connected to the supply chain. There is a constant reinforcement of safety policies
and prac ces. Through mentoring, mystery follows, en-route surprise inspec ons, counselling & posi ve
