The Challenge

SavATree needed a fleet management solution that understood their fleet's needs

One of the largest landscape management companies in the United States, SavATree operates a specialized fleet that doesn't fit the traditional transportation model. With trucks driving less than 30 miles per day but making an average of 15 stops, they needed fleet telematics that could provide specialized reporting capabilities. SavATree's previous solution was designed for traditional long-haul transportation. As SavATree's service-based model evolved, they required a more flexible platform to handle decentralized, short-route operations. Instead of enabling smarter decisions, data became difficult to extract, customize, and analyze. Limited integration capabilities forced teams into manual workarounds, consuming time without improving outcomes. As SavATree expanded, these limitations became more costly, preventing the fleet from improving efficiency, safety, or compliance at scale. The team realized incremental improvements wouldn't solve the problem. They needed a platform designed to support how their business actually operates.

"It wasn't one standout feature—it was everything. Samsara went further at every step, truly listening to our needs and adapting the platform to work the way our business operates."

The Solution

A rigorous evaluation process led SavATree to Samsara

SavATree used a rigorous and objective evaluation framework. Rather than relying on demos or short pilots, they ran 12‑week real‑world trials—three times longer than industry standard—across locations of varying sizes. Multiple vendors were evaluated using blind scoring and identical criteria. The objective was to find a long‑term partner that could deliver measurable ROI, and custom reporting, open APIs, and integration capabilities were non‑negotiable.

In SavATree's evaluation, Samsara consistently outperformed alternatives, proving more flexible, more data‑rich, and more responsive to SavATree's operational needs.

SavATree selected Samsara for telematics first, then conducted a separate evaluation for cameras—again choosing Samsara based on performance.

Fleet Telematics

Reducing fuel waste and idling by 30% with custom reporting

By leveraging custom reporting, telematics, and geofencing data from Samsara, SavATree gained visibility into their operational and dispatch efficiency, ultimately reducing overall vehicle idling by 30%.

Open Platform

SavATree improves dispatch efficiency by up to 40% and cuts capital costs by 10%

Samsara's open platform eliminated manual data entry and enabled advanced analytics, which enabled 30–40% gains in dispatch efficiency and a 7–10% reduction in capital expenditure by improving utilization and eliminating manual work.
