The Solution
Schlumberger, a global provider of oil and gas field services which operates in over 70 countries, selected GreenRoad to help it bring the digital revolution to its road safety activities. During 2020, it deployed GreenRoad’s Driver Self-Coaching mobile app and IVMS (In-Vehicle Monitoring System) Driver Monitoring/Training solutions for many thousands of drivers – both company employees and contractors.
Schlumberger’s selection of GreenRoad reflected a number of differentiating factors, including:
- Availability of an advanced digitalized real-time driver feedback system
- Single platform solution for both safety and operations: the same platform that Schlumberger uses to track the safety of its drivers contributes to its fleet operational needs, including routing, resource allocation optimization and more.
- Ability to integrate other useful information for the driver (e.g. Waze information and weather conditions
THE CHALLENGE
For Autonom, Romania’s largest mobility group, differentiating its chauffeur luxury services in a highly competitive market has been a top priority. Given the extreme safety challenges of Romania’s roads, the company has taken a “Safety First” approach, which it backs with ongoing investment in driver training and technology. Autonom was in need of a cost-effective solution that would allow them to pair safety statistics with specific drivers, allowing them to monitor individual performance.
Based on the recommendation of its own client, SLB, Autonom reached out to GreenRoad and chose to deploy GreenRoad Drive™, a driver safety app, for the chauffeurs of its luxury services division.
“We recognized that such an investment would demonstrate our no-compromise approach to safety, while giving us insight into driver locations and behavior,” commented Roxana Floroiu, Autonom Drive’s Operational Manager. “We were confident that it could help our drivers achieve exceptional safety standards, identify outliers whose performance was below par, and maintain our premium position in the market.”

“Driving is the single most dangerous thing we do,” explained Jim Andrews, Schlumberger’s VP for Health, Safety and Environment, as quoted in the Journal of Petroleum Technology’s coverage of the 2019 Offshore Technology Conference (OTC).
“For years, Schlumberger has sent our new-hires to driving centers to learn how to drive safely. In the process, we have collected terabytes of data that we don’t use. We went out to see what was available to help us use all that data, and we found a company called GreenRoad that had developed a mobile app that allow drivers to use their mobile phones to monitor how they drive, every time they get behind the wheel. The app provides commentary and proactive advice and integrates Waze information and weather conditions.
“Over a period of 18 months, we’ve seen a staggering change in the way employees are driving – and this is a company that has always taken a great deal of pride in our driving performance. All a driver has to do is plug in the destination and focus on driving; the technology does everything else.”
Based on the success of the program, Schlumberger is now partnering with GreenRoad to develop additional applications.

Behind the results
Solutions Schlumberger used
Gives employees and contractors real-time commentary and proactive coaching every time they get behind the wheel, turning years of unused driving data into usable, in-the-moment feedback.
Combines driver coaching with Waze traffic and weather information, so drivers get one view that covers both how they're driving and what they're driving into.
The same system that tracks driver safety also supports routing and resource allocation, so Schlumberger runs safety and operations from a single source of data.
