Jason Malpass, Vice President of Enterprise Sales at Samba Safety, knows the secret to analyzing claims studies begins with the client. The building blocks Samba Safety needs to perform a claims study analysis are the information and data the client wants to measure. Are there specific measurements Samba looks for in a claims study?

“We look for areas of cost controls,” Malpass said. “We look for areas we can automate and drive some operational efficiencies. And as the name would suggest, we look at the claims history within our relationships and employers as they combat the rising costs of auto crashes and are looking for ways to reverse that trend of escalation.”

Malpass noted that Samba Safety has the claims study process down to a science and is available to use that expertise to help clients save money.

“Without a whole lot of heavy lifting from our clients, we’re able to go in, gather some data points from them, and then use that, balance it off of what we’ve learned from all of our other pre-existing client relationships, and come back with some findings,” he said.

With every claims study, Malpass said there’s always an opportunity to reduce risk for a client and provide cost reduction areas. “Leveraging some of the automation and the workflow that exists within Samba Safety’s tools, we’re able to drive efficiencies that otherwise are unrealized.”

CAS Automotive launches Damaged Equipment to sell fleets' damaged and end-of-life machines

CAS Automotive launches Damaged Equipment to sell fleets' damaged and end-of-life machines

CAS Automotive has officially launched Damaged Equipment, an on-demand remarketing service that gives fleets, dealers, rental companies and insurers a guaranteed offer on damaged, surplus and end-of-life machines. The service ran as a proof of concept from late 2025. It adds a fixed-offer channel next to auctions and trade-ins, though CAS has not published pilot volumes or pricing.

  • 01A guaranteed offer on a wrecked or worn-out machine is a new reference point fleets can hold against an auction estimate, a dealer trade-in or a parts-out before deciding where a unit goes.
  • 02Damaged Equipment now serves insurers and third-party administrators alongside fleets, dealers and rental companies, which puts one disposition channel in front of every party to a total-loss equipment claim.
  • 03The launch establishes the model and the buyer network but not the results: CAS Automotive has disclosed no volumes, recovery rates or turnaround times from its 2025 pilot, so the first test is a side-by-side quote on a real unit.

Caterpillar and FieldAI partner on physical AI for jobsites

Caterpillar and FieldAI partner on physical AI for jobsites

Caterpillar announced a collaboration with robotics company FieldAI on Sept. 5, 2026, aimed at bringing physical AI and autonomous systems to construction sites and industrial environments, according to Automation News. The companies plan to combine Caterpillar's operational data and engineering with FieldAI's robot foundation models, along with NVIDIA computing and digital twin tools.

  • 01Caterpillar and FieldAI are combining industrial expertise with AI-enabled robot foundation models for construction and industrial site automation.
  • 02Planned applications include autonomous inspections for safety, digital twins for operational insight, and AI-driven simulation for industrial operations.
  • 03The partnership will use NVIDIA accelerated computing and NVIDIA Omniverse for robot-agnostic autonomy technology across multiple robotic platforms.

Distressed sales are 2% of the housing market, and that should change how contractors plan 2027

Distressed sales are 2% of the housing market, and that should change how contractors plan 2027

Existing home sales fell to 3.98 million in August, but distressed sales remain at just 2% of transactions with prices still rising, signaling an affordability freeze rather than a credit crisis. Residential builders and contractors should plan 2027 capacity around intact homeowner equity, higher inventory creating pre-sale work demand, and regional variations in turnover rather than cutting headcount for a financial downturn.

  • 01Distressed sales at 2% of market (versus roughly one-third during 2008) mean no forced-seller wave or equity destruction, leaving HELOC and cash-out renovation funding intact for contractors
  • 02Supply at 4.9 months and 5.9% year-over-year growth forces sellers to fund pre-sale work on roofs, HVAC, kitchens, and inspections to compete, generating small-ticket trade demand despite lower transaction volume
  • 03Year-to-date sales up 1.6% with 27% all-cash buyers and 15% investor purchases plus strong August wage growth (3.1%) and employment (643,000 jobs since January) support demand in rate-insensitive buyer segments
