In today's unpredictable market, maximizing vehicle and asset uptime and longevity is more important than ever. Data shows that maintenance teams spend more than half of their time on paperwork and other manual tasks—not on the essential “wrench time” needed to keep fleets healthy. Considering that organizations allocate an average of 10%+ of their operational budget to repairs and maintenance, these outdated pen-and-paper systems waste valuable time and money, and obscure the critical insights leaders need to prevent downtime.

To continue expanding our platform to help operations do more, Samsara is launching Connected Asset Maintenance: the only Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) built on Samsara Intelligence. By harnessing the power of your fleet's data, you can save time and boost utilization, track costs for deeper insights, and consolidate systems for streamlined workflows—driving efficiency, savings, and a resilient, profitable fleet.

Save time and increase asset utilization

Samsara Connected Asset Maintenance is engineered to minimize the time your assets spend in the shop and maximize their time on productive tasks, directly impacting your bottom line. By consolidating critical maintenance information and streamlining key workflows, you can:

• Accelerate work order creation with automated data: Inputting an asset number instantly populates work order details, resulting in a process that takes less than a minute to complete and submit. 

• Reduce repeat shop visits with smart work order suggestions: Samsara automatically surfaces outstanding maintenance items, including DVIR defects, vehicle faults, and scheduled maintenance, to ensure repairs are completed in a single visit.

• Plan maintenance proactively with a unified view: Use the maintenance status page to gain a clear overview of each asset's current issues and maintenance history, enabling informed scheduling and minimizing unexpected downtime.

Track costs and uncover problem areas

Gaining deep visibility into your maintenance spending and operational processes is crucial for making informed decisions and optimizing your fleet's financial health. Samsara provides the tools to:

• Analyze cost trends with comprehensive reporting: The Maintenance Cost reporting tool integrates both internal and external vendor spend, allowing you to analyze trends by region, vehicle or asset make, service category, and more.

• Identify problem areas with historical data: A historical view of faults, DVIRs, work orders, and costs across your fleet allows you to easily spot recurring problems and their financial impact.

Consolidate systems and processes

Connected Asset Maintenance breaks down silos by integrating maintenance directly into your existing Samsara ecosystem for a unified and efficient operational environment. This allows you to:

• Gain a holistic view on a single dashboard: By having a single point of access to DVIRs, preventive maintenance, and active issues fleet-wide, you can easily understand the overall health of your operations and prioritize labor, costs, and maintenance effectively.

• Streamline workflows with native integration: DVIR defects automatically flow into work orders, eliminating manual data entry and ensuring seamless communication between maintenance and operations.

• Eliminate patchwork tools and third-party APIs: Manage all your core maintenance capabilities, including DVIRs, preventative maintenance, and active issues, within the Samsara platform.

Harness AI to reduce manual processes and improve maintenance
