Case Study: KS Industries achieves improved driver safety and proactive risk management with Omnitracs SmartDrive

Why KS Industries was Ready for a Video-Based Safety Program

KS Industries, a private fleet and distribution company serving hazardous sectors such as oil and gas, refining, pipelines and heavy industrial operations, operated more than 1,300 GPS units but found GPS data insufficient to detect erratic or risky driving in its demanding work environments. The company needed a way to predict and proactively manage driver risk across vehicles that transport passengers and carry specialty, high‑rollover equipment.

KS Industries implemented Omnitracs’ SmartDrive video‑based safety program, which captures a wide range of unsafe events via video and direct engine data. SmartDrive’s experts review and prioritize incidents for follow‑up, enabling tailored coaching that is both more effective and time‑efficient, improving risk management and helping ensure drivers return home safely.
