Case Study: a large LPG distributor cuts manual safety review by 80% with Sombra’s AI safety inspection solution

Large LPG Distributor cuts manual review by 80% with Sombra

A large LPG distributor faced significant challenges with its manual safety inspection process. The company, which operates across a wide geographic area, relied on drivers submitting photos and videos for a back-office team to review. This method was slow, created bottlenecks, produced inconsistent results, and made audits difficult. Sombra was engaged to design an AI-driven solution to address these operational inefficiencies.

Sombra's AI Lab analyzed the entire inspection workflow and designed an AI-driven pre-screening approach. This solution automatically filtered and categorized media before it reached human reviewers. The implementation resulted in manual review time being reduced by up to 80% and inspection throughput increased by 1.5x without expanding the team. Additionally, the company gained a secure, auditable digital record of its safety compliance.
