Agreement Represents Significant Win for Lytx in For-Hire Truckload Market with Major North American Supply Chain Solutions Provider

SAN DIEGO -- Oct. 7, 2014: ATA Management Conference & Exhibition (Booth #319)-- Lytx, Inc. (formerly DriveCam Inc.), a global leader in delivering driver safety and compliance solutions, today announced that it has signed an agreement with NFI, a leading international provider of supply chain management services to deploy the DriveCam powered by Lytx™ video-based driver safety program. Based in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, NFI's services include dedicated transportation, warehousing, transportation brokerage, global logistics and intermodal shipping.

"NFI aims to maintain and improve the safety of our drivers, others on the road, and our customers' freight. To accomplish those objectives, NFI looked to Lytx. After a head-to-head competition including a trial phase, Lytx proved to be the strongest solution on the market," said Lee Robledo, vice president of safety for NFI. "We chose the DriveCam Program for three primary reasons: its efficiency, flexibility and driver focus."

The DriveCamŽ Program will be implemented in the majority of NFI's fleet. With Lytx's RAIR compliance system already deployed by NFI, the addition of the DriveCam Program allows for an end-to-end solution to help minimize collisions, save fuel costs, and ultimately save money and lives.

The DriveCam powered by Lytx Program helps prevent collisions, reduce injuries and save lives by combining video with predictive analytics, real-time driver feedback and coaching, empowering fleets to identify and correct driving behaviors that could lead to collisions. A new Virginia Tech Transportation Institute study shows that more than 800 lives could be saved each year using video-based driver safety technology, and that the DriveCam Program alone could prevent more than 25,000 commercial vehicle collisions and nearly 40,000 injuries annually.

Lytx develops product and services designed to meet the unique needs of the trucking market and deliver a rapid ROI for trucking. Safe, qualified drivers are integral to the success of any fleet and Lytx offers a comprehensive solution that provides an end-to-end safety and compliance program. Lytx has created a special video highlighting the challenges professional truck drivers face every day.
