How Gabose Trucking uses Nirvana Insurance to improve safety

The Project

Victoria was assigned to a data integration project that pulled data from the US Department of Transportation (DOT) into Nirvana. Nirvana leverages multiple data sources to improve insurance risk assessment.  One of these sources is the DOT Licensing & Insurance website. The  DOT website provides information on carrier authorities and previous,  pending, and active insurance for fleets. Until recently, this  information was cumbersome to obtain and infrequently refreshed, meaning that at Nirvana, we often could not work with the latest information.  

However, the DOT moved this information to a new website a few months  ago.
Nirvana was looking to vet and pull the data from this new website since it’s  easily accessible, frequently updated, and already unified. The plan was to establish the new website as the latest source of truth for past and current fleet insurance and reduce the data pull time to a few minutes  (if not seconds). We also wanted to include new real-time features such  as storing and alerting relevant fleet change events.
