The Challenge

Fragmented systems created costly blind spots

For over 30 years, Bayview Construction has been a leader in heavy construction across Manitoba, maintaining the roads, sewer systems, and water networks that their communities rely on every day. As the company nearly doubled its workforce over the past ten years, its growing fleet became harder to manage.

Manitoba’s unpredictable weather added to the challenge, shifting from sunshine to snow within hours and forcing concrete pours or asphalt work to be delayed with little notice. To keep pace, Bayview relied on fragmented technology: lagging GPS systems and consumer dash cams that required micro SD cards. Dispatchers were left without clear visibility into equipment availability, while theft and misplacement drove up costs. Paper-based DVIRs added further strain, with incomplete inspections leaving defects unresolved and creating tension between field crews and the shop. Without a reliable system of record, Bayview was left vulnerable to false claims, costly delays, and unnecessary expenses.

“Having all our data within a single platform like Samsara makes it much easier to see what equipment is at each location. Real-time tracking is a massive asset, and knowing where everything is at any given moment is a major improvement over other platforms that can lag behind.”

The Solution

One platform for fleet-wide visibility

Bayview partnered with Samsara to unify operations across 475+ assets, including semis, tandems, light-duty trucks, trailers, and heavy equipment such as excavators and loaders. With Vehicle Gateways, Asset Gateways, Asset Tags, and AI Dash Cams—plus data integrations through Samsara’s open API—the company replaced fragmented technology with a single source of truth, gaining real-time visibility across its fleet.

Equipment Tracking and Fleet Telematics

Saving hundreds of thousands of dollars and delivering projects faster

With Samsara, Bayview has saved hundreds of thousands of dollars by preventing both theft and loss of equipment, avoiding costly repurchases, and completing projects up to a week faster—direct benefits their customers can see. Continuous tracking gives dispatchers a clear view of assets across more than 30 job sites, helping them move equipment quickly and keep strict timelines on track.

Asset Tag

Preventing $60K+ in losses and avoiding costly replacements

Bayview’s decision to deploy the Samsara Asset Tag was prompted by a major loss: more than $60,000 worth of GPS survey equipment stolen from a job site container. To prevent future losses of critical small and medium-sized equipment, the company equipped more than 200 assets with these ruggedized tags, giving teams always-on tracking for items that are essential but easy to overlook.

Cameras and Video

Lowering claims costs and exonerating drivers

With Samsara’s AI Dash Cams, Bayview has reduced insurance costs by resolving disputes quickly and protecting drivers from false claims. The video evidence eliminates “he said, she said” situations, helps close claims faster, and safeguards the company’s most important asset: its employees and their driver’s licenses.

Samsara Apps

Cutting hours of admin work and speeding up repairs

By replacing paper-based DVIRs with Samsara’s Driver App, Bayview has reduced administrative overhead and improved the efficiency of its maintenance program. Hours once lost manually sorting through stacks of forms are now saved, allowing shop staff to focus directly on repairs as soon as they’re reported.

Open Platform

Minimizing errors and improving efficiency across teams

With Samsara’s Connected Operations Platform, Bayview manages its assets, vehicles, and equipment in one unified dashboard. By consolidating data that was once spread across multiple systems, Bayview was able to eliminate fragmentation and gain clear visibility into its operations.
