Samsara: Telematics to the Rescue

Careful integration of telecommunications and informatics conceived telematics and has made tracking and storing telemetry data easier than ever. Telematics has been used for decades in fleet management to collect data and track metrics ranging from profitability, fuel efficiency, and vehicle health to coordinate and manage a fleet of vehicles efficiently. Samsara, the pioneer of the Connected Operations Cloud, offers the best telematics services for efficient fleet management. To-the-second GPS tracking and smart geofencing offer best-in-class visibility for the users. From public works agencies to sanitation teams to transit authorities, Samsara’s Connected Operations Cloud empowers every department with the real-time data needed to harness actionable insights.

When a vehicle fleet is spread out across the map, receiving up-to-date vehicle information can be difficult. Drivers may not be able to easily communicate while on the road, and relying on paperwork to manage the fleet could take days or weeks to receive pertinent data. A fleet telematics system can provide real-time data regarding the health of the vehicle to keep the system informed of any issues and make necessary fleet maintenance decisions to avoid downtime. Fleet technology eliminates communication gaps and provides real-time data regarding the assets.

Utilizing the latest advancements in Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and video imagery, Samsara is driving the digital transformation of physical operations. With Samsara’s IoT sensors and Connected Operations Cloud, organizations can combine data from their fleets, equipment, and work sites into one integrated platform. Samsara has made streamlined communication and paperless reporting possible to maximize fleet productivity. Through advanced fuel and vehicle diagnostics technology along with automated preventive maintenance, Samsara is taking telematics services to the next level.

Also, Samsara simplifies compliance across operations with intuitive workflows to reduce administrative overhead and compliance risk. By analyzing the vehicle cost and emissions to make informed electrification decisions, the customer can procure EVs with confidence with advanced fleet management tools to ensure savings with Samsara.

Samsara has a dedicated Driver App that allows drivers to capture e-signatures, proof of delivery, and more to digitize the documents and make information sharing more accessible. In addition, with all the data in one dashboard, the back-office staff can quickly investigate claims of overages, shortages, damages, and missed delivery windows that can be easily communicated with the customers. This helps the staff to resolve issues faster, leading to a more positive customer experience.
