Samsara earns the highest overall score in the 2026 Frost Radar: Commercial Vehicle Telematics

Frost & Sullivan evaluated the top commercial vehicle telematics providers in North America, and Samsara took the No. 1 spot. In the Frost Radar™: Commercial Vehicle Telematics in North America, 2026, published October 21, 2026, Samsara earned the highest overall score of any vendor evaluated: 9.90. Samsara outscored Motive, Lytx, and Verizon Connect on both innovation and growth and Geotab on innovation.

The result is thanks to the drivers, dispatchers, mechanics, and safety leaders who run their operations on Samsara every day. Their feedback shapes what Samsara builds, and this recognition reflects what they already see in the field: one platform that keeps getting better.This recognition reflects a simple approach: build what the people running physical operations need. Operations teams want one connected platform where AI acts on the data, not dashboards that only report problems. Frost’s first Radar for this market shows that approach is working.

What the Frost Radar measures

The Frost Radar scores vendors on two dimensions: innovation and growth. Innovation looks at how well a vendor builds new capabilities that solve real customer problems, while growth looks at how well a vendor turns that innovation into momentum in the market. Together, the two scores show which providers are moving the industry forward. The Frost Radar scores vendors on two indices. Innovation measures how well a vendor builds solutions that scale, stay ahead of major market shifts, and fit changing customer needs. Growth measures a vendor’s track record, including market share and three-year revenue growth, and its ability to execute a strategy backed by a strong pipeline and go-to-market.

Vendors that score high on both land in the Visionary Leaders zone, where Frost places market leaders that influence the direction of the industry.

Samsara placed in the top right of the radar as a Visionary Leader. Frost cited that Samsara led the field in scale, enterprise strength, unified platform, innovation, and investment in research and development (R&D).

Samsara achieves the highest Innovation score in the field

In addition to earning the highest overall score, Samsara also earned a 5.00 out of 5.00, the highest possible Innovation score and the highest score of any vendor in the report. Frost pointed to the Connected Operations® Platform, which brings telematics, video, AI, equipment, and workforce data into one system.

Frost also highlighted how Samsara keeps adding value to the hardware customers already own. Ground Intelligence, for example, uses dash cams already installed in vehicles to spot potholes on the road. Customers get the new capability without installing new hardware.

Ground Intelligence is just one example of the pace of innovation that Samsara delivers. Samsara releases more than 200 rigorously tested new features every year, has invested more than $1 billion in R&D since its founding, and holds more than 150 patents.

AI that delivers real results

Frost noted that organizations are adopting Samsara AI products at scale. Samsara’s AI-driven products have passed $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) and account for more than 20% of net new annual contract value (ACV).

For organizations, that means AI is built into the workflows they already use: safety-related event detection on AI Dash Cams, coaching that reaches drivers in the moment, and insights that help teams act faster.

Growth at scale

Frost also recognized Samsara for growing quickly at scale. Samsara is growing about 30% at nearly $2 billion in ARR, with three consecutive quarters of profitability under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

For customers, scale means a partner that will keep investing in the products their operations depend on.

Samsara’s 4.90 Growth score reflects growth that comes from customers doing more on one platform. Frost noted that sustaining about 30% growth at nearly $2 billion in ARR is notable, since growth typically slows as software companies scale. It also found that more than 95% of large customers use two or more Samsara products, and that AI products now drive more than 20% of net new annual contract value.

For customers, that means a partner whose growth comes from customers choosing to do more with it.

Built with the people who do the work

Samsara builds side by side with operators. The industry's largest co-development community, more than 80 billion miles driven, and more than 30 trillion data points give Samsara a view of physical operations that few providers can match. Every new feature starts with a problem someone in the field brought to the table.

Samsara is a Frost Radar Visionary Leader backed by 200+ new features a year

For the organizations that run on Samsara, the score backs up what they see every day: a platform that innovates, providing customers with new capabilities. Samsara will keep building with customers and shipping improvements that make their operations safer and more efficient.
