The VRM Coach feature provides managers a convenient way to conduct coaching interventions to connected mobile devices via the Mentor app. This enables managers to engage with their drivers quickly and informally, which can make a critical difference while working to create a sustainable crash-free culture. The submitted forms are available to view within the Virtual Risk Manager Management Information System (VRM MIS) portal.
Note: VRM Coach is a Manager-only functionality.
User Experience:
As a manager, when you login, you will see:
1. VRM Coach tab at the bottom navigation bar.
2. "Requiring Coaching" info box under "Drivers to Alert" section on the Dashboard.

- REQUIRED (Drivers who have outstanding coaching sessions)
- NOT REQUIRED (Drivers who have no outstanding coaching sessions), ranked according to their corresponding Company Points / DriverINDEX® Scores
- Click on the driver name under "REQUIRED" tab to get to the details page.
- Here, you will see the driver’s Company Points Rating / DriverINDEX® Rating, a summary of outstanding coaching interventions and a list of outstanding coaching interventions.
- Coaching interventions can be seen under five statuses: Required, In-Progress, Optional, Closed, Complete.
The enhanced Coaching Toolkit from eDriving offers three options for supporting at-risk drivers:
- Driver Performance Review– currently known as DriverINDEX® Coach, this tool takes into account a driver's collision history, Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) and FICO® Safe Driving Score.
- Post-Collision Coaching– currently known as Post Incident Coaching, this is a response tool targeted to drivers after a collision.
- OneToOne– targets an overall crash-free culture development, vehicle check and defensive driving reinforcement.
You can begin a coaching session by tapping on the title. When complete, you can submit and return to the previous page, or save the in-progress session to access and complete later from the Mentor app or by logging into VRM.
The progress will be saved under three statuses: New, In Progress, or Overdue.
