TSI Impact brings 20+ years of hands-on transportation and operations leadership to four interconnected disciplines: fleet safety technology, transportation consulting, restaurant point-of-sale systems, and automated vending. We don't advise from the sidelines — we deploy, operate, and stay accountable to the results.
At TSI Impact, we believe safer roads, smarter operations, and better technology should work together — not in silos. We bring deep expertise across four interconnected disciplines, giving our clients and partners a rare combination of real-world operational experience and forward-thinking innovation.
We are a team of seasoned operators with deep experience building, deploying, and scaling real-world solutions. We don't advise from the sidelines — we get in and do the work. If there's a problem in your operation, we've likely solved it before. And if there's an opportunity you haven't captured yet, we know how to build it.
What we bring isn't theory. It's hands-on execution built on years of managing complex operations at some of the most demanding organizations in the world. Every solution we deploy is designed to make your organization safer, smarter, and more profitable — from day one.
The best operations are built with intention.
We've managed transportation programs at some of the most demanding organizations in the world — including Meta, Stanford University, and Google. 20+ years of experience taught us that great transportation isn't just about moving people and vehicles. It's about building systems that are efficient, sustainable, and built to last.

We deploy AI-powered dashcam technology that delivers critical insight in real time — before a minor event becomes a major liability. Our dashcam solutions analyze driver behavior, flag risk patterns, and generate the actionable data that helps fleet operators coach drivers, reduce incidents, and protect their business.

Our approach combines strategic placement, curated product selection, and modern technology integration to create vending operations that are easy, convenient, and accessible. TSI Impact owns the process from site evaluation to ongoing operations.

See Toast POS supportEvery engagement starts with a clear understanding of your operation — where it stands, where it's losing ground, and where the opportunity is. From there, we move fast. No lengthy discovery phases. No strategy decks that sit on a shelf. We get in, assess what's needed, and start building toward outcomes from day one.
We don't hand off deliverables and disappear. TSI Impact stays in the operation — monitoring performance, resolving issues, and continuously improving what we've built. Our success is measured by yours: safer drivers, leaner operations, and revenue that shows up consistently.
We've managed transportation programs at Meta, Stanford, and Google. We've deployed AI dashcam technology across complex fleets. We've built and operated automated merchandising programs from the ground up. When we show up to your operation, we bring that experience with us — and put it to work immediately.
We build programs designed to last — scalable as your needs grow, resilient when conditions change, and grounded in data that keeps getting sharper over time. Every solution we deploy gets better the longer it runs.

The team has hands-on experience building and running the exact programs — fleet safety, transportation operations, restaurant technology, and vending — that clients hire TSI Impact to improve, and stays engaged through deployment and ongoing operations rather than handing off a report.
