Sentiance is the leader in motion insights. Our mission is to save lives every day and shape the future of road safety. Unlike telematics companies, we focus on the driver and not the vehicle because most road accidents are caused by human error. Our revolutionary, AI on-device technology turns raw mobile sensor data into rich driving, mobility & lifestyle insights. Cost-efficient, privacy-centric, and scalable, we redefine the standards of safety and sustainable mobility solutions. Motor insurance, ride-hailing, delivery, automotive EOMs, transport authorities, and other mobility and safety industries partner with us. They use insights from the Sentiance Edge Platform to reduce the number of accidents, improve claims handling, increase customer engagement and acquisition, improve loss ratios, and implement individualized driver safety programs. With customers across the globe, we support millions of drivers and lives on the world’s roads every day.
