Case Study: SambaSafety achieves 5x faster production and 30% subscriber growth with VMware Tanzu

How SambaSafety delivers customer value faster with VMware Tanzu

SambaSafety, a 20‑year pioneer in driver risk monitoring, provides cloud‑based SaaS analytics and conducts tens of millions of driver risk assessments annually to help employers and insurers manage driver safety. Facing legacy systems and a business need to accelerate innovation and get customer‑requested features to market far faster, the company set an ambitious goal to deliver a customer beta in about five months.

Working with VMware Pivotal Labs and VMware Tanzu, SambaSafety adopted cloud‑native architecture (Spring Boot), test‑driven development, and paired engineering to build a single modern platform, Qorta. The effort delivered a beta in five months, shifted releases from once every five years to monthly, increased monitored drivers by 30%, freed developers to spend 70% of their time coding, sped onboarding, and established a repeatable, scalable delivery model.
