Read on to learn more about how Samsara’s fleet solutions complement each other to streamline operations, boost productivity, and lower costs for labor, assets, and fuel, giving fleets a more complete, cost-effective solution to solve today’s pressing back office challenges.

The power of bundling Samsara’s fleet solutions

Samsara offers several powerful tools for fleet management, including Connected Workflows, Connected Training, Maintenance, Commercial Navigation, and Qualifications Management. These solutions can deliver more value across your operations because they are built on the same data set, making it easy to flag safety issues or opportunities for cost savings. Moreover, they are all built on industry-leading AI that automates labor intensive tasks, such as reading invoices, identifying job site safety hazards, building training materials, and much more.

Here’s how Samsara’s applications work to streamline your fleet operations.

Maintenance: Cut maintenance costs and downtime 

Spotting vehicle and asset maintenance issues as quickly as possible is critical to keeping your operations running smoothly. Samsara’s Maintenance offering streamlines the entire maintenance process, from fault identification to repair, helping you dramatically reduce manual tasks and paperwork. 

Samsara Maintenance allows fleets to:

• Digitize inspections, checklists, and field reports, helping eliminate error-prone paper logs

• Allow drivers to complete digital DVIRs right in the Driver App with AI and voice transcription, improving inspection accuracy and quality while making it easier for the front line

• Get real-time fault code data and create work orders with one click

• Automatically populate work orders with asset data and DVIR information, and use AI and analytics to suggest additional maintenance work and prevent return shop visits, keeping equipment on the job

• Alert drivers in real-time if they attempt to get into a vehicle that is marked as out of service or unsafe, preventing accidents

Fleet managers gain real-time visibility into information and can prioritize maintenance capacity and assign work to technicians in the same system. This ultimately reduces maintenance spend and improves asset utilization overall.

Commercial Navigation: Navigate safely, reduce accidents, and stay compliant 

Keeping drivers safe and compliant on the road is a top priority for all fleets. Use Samsara's Commercial Navigation applications to help ensure that drivers navigate safely and receive training to help lower risk even more.

Commercial Navigation provides:

• Safe, compliant, turn-by-turn directions tailored to your vehicles' restrictions—such as height, weight, or hazardous materials—all in the Samsara Driver App, helping prevent costly fines, bridge strikes, and other safety incidents

• Combined navigation and HOS data in a single, distraction-free interface within the Samsara Driver App to simplify the in-cab experience

• Native integration with Samsara Route Execution, allowing managers to send and update routes automatically from the dashboard without needing to call drivers to communicate changes

These features work together to reduce accidents and compliance fines.

Connected Training: Deliver personalized training quickly and track performance with ease

Driver safety is paramount for fleets, but effective training is difficult to deliver across a distributed workforce. Connected Training equips managers to track and improve driver performance even if they’re on the road. Managers can use Connected Training to: 

• Deliver scalable, behavior-based training directly through the Samsara Driver App

• Create courses with AI, automate training delivery, and get real-time reporting to help reduce administrative workload and save time

The solution significantly reduces the administrative burden for fleet managers, allowing you to track safety scores and training completion in one place.

Qualifications Management: Streamline compliance and avoid costly fines

Samsara Qualifications Management saves time and takes the burden of manual tracking off of your administrative teams with a range of features. Fleet managers can use the solution to:  

• Bulk upload hundreds of driver qualifications and scan them quickly with AI workflows that automatically create driver records, capture qualification information, and note expiration dates

• Empower drivers to easily upload and manage their own qualifications using the Driver App, without needing to come into the office or wait for someone to process their qualification files

• Easily maintain records and keep track of qualifications in the same system of record as your other driver data, like HOS, Safety Scores, Training, and more

• Get real-time alerts for unauthorized moves if a driver starts to move a vehicle without the correct, up-to-date qualifications, reducing the risk of accidents and exposure to litigation

Qualifications Management eliminates manual tracking and disconnected records to save valuable time while ensuring your drivers are always in compliance and ready for the job, leading to greater efficiency overall. It also helps reduce the legal risk of non-compliance, including costly fines and litigation. 

Connected Workflows: Digitize field paperwork and boost efficiency

Fleets can use Connected Workflows to digitize critical information that was previously scattered across paper or disconnected systems. You can create a Connected Workflow for almost any form—such as route documents, safety checklists, custom inspection documents, and more—streamlining operational data across your organization.
