Technology Leadership in Action: Overhaul

Commercial trucking company Overhaul turned to SoftServe for a solution that would not only monitor driver risk factors such as theft, fatigue, and poor health, but also serve as security authentication.

“Safety and security are a top priority for Overhaul and our clients who are moving high-value cargo” says Barry Conlon, CEO of Overhaul Group.

Our team devised BioLock, the world’s first software solution that uses electrocardiogram (ECG) to continuously monitor driver health and identity. Our team realized that existing driver authentication methods such as passwords, security cards, and fingerprint recognition were not providing the level of security Overhaul needed. These methods were also often challenging for drivers to manage. BioLock solves this by combining ease of operator use with an authentication process via ECG that is almost impossible to fake or duplicate.

Although custom-designed for Overhaul, we realized the technology has many other potential applications, including authentication for bike sharing schemes, an alternative to keys, the security of tangible assets, and a form of digital identification. We were delighted that it was named a finalist in the prestigious 2017 SXSW Interactive Innovation Awards.
