Driving CNA Allied Vendor Program
Distracted driving from the use of cell phones and tablets while driving poses significant risk to every business that has employees
who drive for company business or who have company issued cell phone. According to the National Safety Council, 26 percent of all
vehicle crashes involve mobile phone use – including hands-free.1
Limit Driver Distractions
CNA offers policyholders access to Cogosense through the
Allied Vendor Program. Cogosense is a pioneer and leader in
creating solutions to address the problem of distracted driving
due to mobile device use. The increasing prevalence and
growing capabilities of smart phones and tablets have increased
the frequency with which today’s drivers are tempted to take
their eyes and minds off of their driving.
The potential for distracted driving poses an significant
challenge to any company’s risk management program and
poses one of the greatest risks of injury or death. Cogosense
products are built on a robust platform with over 7 years of
development and over 5 years’ experience in-market.
Cogosense offers two technology solutions; bSafeMobile, the
small business solution for distracted driving, and FleetSafer®,
the enterprise solution for distracted driving. These innovative
solutions help reduce the number of vehicle accidents by
eliminating a leading cause of crashes; driver distraction from
the use of smart phones while driving.
Cogosense offers its services to CNA policyholders at
special rates.
CNA’s Preferred Pricing
CNA policyholders have preferred pricing that represents a
25% cost savings over the regular rate for Cogosense services.
Why Use Cell Phone Blocking Technology?
As an employer, you are exposed to the consequences of
employee mobile device use when they are driving on company
time, in a company vehicle or using company issued phones.
Making phone calls, texting, emailing and/or using any device
application when vehicles are in motion significantly increases
the likelihood of an at-fault vehicle crash. The resulting increase
in the frequency and severity of distracted driving crashes places
negligence and vicarious liability exposure on the employer.
Cell blocking technology is software for smartphones and tablets
that detects the driving state and automatically puts the device
in safe mode while driving. In safe mode, a curtain screen blocks
access to the keyboard and screen and all notifications and
alerts are suppressed – including incoming calls, texts and
emails. Emergency calls (i.e. 911) are always allowed. When
the vehicle is no longer in motion, all calls, messages and
texts will be delivered.
End Driver Distractions – Minimize Liability
Cogosense continues to innovate and develop the next
generation of software and hardware products to manage
