Bramco saves up to $300,000 annually with Samsara Connected Maintenance

Manual maintenance processes left money on the table

Bramco is the financial holding company for Brandeis Machinery and Power Equipment, supporting a workforce of more than 700 employees across five states of operation. The company manages a highly specialized fleet of 300 vehicles, including 190 large service trucks critical to daily field operations. With such a significant mobile footprint, fleet performance and visibility are essential to keeping the business running efficiently and safely.

As Bramco continued to grow, fleet management processes evolved independently across their divisions. Without centralized oversight or vehicle tracking in place, leadership had limited visibility into where vehicles were, how they were being used, or how to proactively manage performance. Maintenance data was stored in legacy systems with limited visibility, making it hard to understand the drivers behind their $2.3 million annual spend and requiring time-consuming manual invoice entry.

This limited visibility extended to warranties, fuel usage, and driver safety. Without a structured system to track warranties, the company was often unaware of coverage opportunities, leading to avoidable out-of-pocket repair expenses. Fuel programs were managed separately across divisions, reducing purchasing leverage and limiting insight into fuel efficiency or potential misuse. Additionally, without telematics or dash cams, the organization had no reliable way to identify risky driving behaviors or proactively improve safety across the fleet.
