Ongoing growth is leading to a more than 25% increase in the data analytics, engineering and customer support staff at Vigillo LLC. “The need for custom safety data management and advanced analytics capabilities continues to expand,” said Steve Bryan, CEO of Vigillo. “Putting people with experience in trucking and strong analytical skills in place will help the IQLab meet the overwhelming and growing number of requests we are receiving for custom reports and data analysis.”

In particular, Gretchen Wierenga CDS is joining Vigillo and will lead the continued development of the company’s IQLab as a Senior Analyst. An experienced trucking industry safety and risk management expert, Wierenga was most recently a Transportation Safety Consultant at Swift Transportation with its more than 20,000 drivers. Previously, she was with Risk Management at Interstate Distributor Co., a fleet with over 3,000 drivers, and was Corporate Safety and Risk Manager at Puget Sound International. Since 2007, Wierenga has also served as one of Vigillo’s original Advisory Board members.

Created in 2011 to meet demand for custom data analytics, IQLab provides a wide array of custom reports, data analysis and research. Included is Virtual Fleet, which enables fleets to commit to using only their best drivers for specific customers. Other offerings include CSA Point Reduction Analysis for understanding CSA violations and implementing a plan to reduce scores when they are over an intervention threshold. Vigillo’s State Enforcement Exposure Report, providing enforcement profiles of the 50 states, and annual Top Violations By State reports also are available.
