The Challenge

Rosendin Electric, a leading electrical contractor in the United States, faced a significant challenge in ensuring the safety of its over 7,000 employees who frequently travel to and from hundreds of job sites across the country. The company, which prioritizes safety, recognized the need for a solution that would provide visibility into their projects and workers' driving behaviors, such as idling or personal usage of the vehicle. They also sought a way to provide real-time coaching to correct any risky behaviors, including cell phone usage, drowsiness, and speeding. Additionally, Rosendin needed a technology partner that could provide exoneration evidence when their employees were involved in an incident but were not at fault. With a fleet of over 1,200 vehicles, tracking the location and maintenance of their fleet was also a focus for Rosendin, as unauthorized use and theft of assets could be a costly challenge if not addressed.

About The Customer

Rosendin Electric is an employee-owned electrical contractor based in San Jose, California. With revenues exceeding $2 billion, it is one of the largest electrical contractors in the United States, employing over 7,000 people. The company has a strong reputation for delivering quality electrical and communications installations, building value for clients, and fostering employee growth. Rosendin operates from 17 regional offices and job sites across the United States, with a fleet of more than 1,200 vehicles. Safety is a top priority for Rosendin, and the company is always seeking new ways to improve safety measures for its workers.

The Solution

To address these challenges, Rosendin partnered with Motive to leverage their Safety and Tracking & Telematics platform. The company rolled out Motive Driver Safety to its fleet, providing specialty contractors with real-time coaching when the Motive AI Dashcam detected risky behavior. This solution also gave managers the opportunity to coach employees on an ongoing basis, empowering Rosendin to reduce driving behaviors that could lead to costly and dangerous incidents. Additionally, Motive's Tracking & Telematics allowed managers to track fault codes, vehicle location, idling using the Vehicle Gateway, and asset location using the Asset Gateway. This technology even helped Rosendin track down a stolen vehicle, demonstrating its potential for asset protection.

Operational Impact

The implementation of Motive's solutions has led to significant operational improvements for Rosendin. The company has seen a reduction in risky behaviors and coachable events, demonstrating the direct impact of Motive AI Dashcams on accident prevention. The technology has also proven valuable in the aftermath of incidents, providing video proof that has led to multiple exonerations. Furthermore, Rosendin has seen a reduction in fuel waste by using the Vehicle Gateway to monitor idling, which not only saves money but also has a positive environmental impact. The successful recovery of a stolen vehicle also highlights the potential of this technology for asset protection. Overall, the partnership with Motive has been a win-win for Rosendin, with the Motive team providing support every step of the way.
