SEATTLE, WA, August 4, 2016 – Greenlight (www.greenlight.life) today announced an agreement with Paul Hanson Partners (www.paulhanson.com) to make its new video and telematics technology available as an affordable risk management and safety tool for commercial vehicles insured through Paul Hanson Partners.
Greenlight’s technology will be used in both Paul Hanson Partner’s BizChoice program for the logistics industry and Mover’s Choice program for the moving & storage industry.
The Greenlight platform consists of a dash-mounted SmartCradle, which when paired with a smartphone’s mobile app, enables the phone to record driving video footage alongside driving data. Greenlight first announced the platform in May 2016. In advance of its fall 2016 ship date, Greenlight put together its agreement with PHP to expand its solution to include fleet vehicles.
“Our smaller carrier fleets need an affordable and effective way to harness evolving technologies to improve safety and reduce losses,” says Lisa Paul, president and CEO of Paul Hanson Partners. “We are well known for offering innovative and affordable insurance solutions for commercial and delivery vehicles, and our partner insurance carriers recognize the value of this technology for both public safety, risk management and underwriting. Greenlight also pairs perfectly with education tools on our BizChoice Online and Mover’s Choice online portals.”
“We knew there was a strong commercial potential for Greenlight, but it wasn’t until Paul Hanson Partners approached us that we learned how close we really were,” said founder and CEO Jason Green. “This partnership provides a solid foundation for us to build the best possible product for all drivers, consumers and fleets. I think what will be most exciting for our drivers is that this agreement is helping us not only improve safety, but also accelerate efforts to reach our ultimate goal – helping drivers save on insurance.”
The Greenlight SmartCradle is available for pre-order now, shipping this fall, for just $49. To inquire about a fleet insurance policy using Greenlight, please contact Paul Hanson Partners at (800) 852-1968.
