Is there one platform that can handle both fleet tracking and maintenance?

Samsara’s GPS Fleet Tracking solution leverages best-in-class GPS technology to enable organizations to track their entire fleet, including vehicles, trailers, equipment, and more. Samsara’s solution is made up of proprietary, easy-to-deploy hardware and modern, easy-to-implement cloud software. Samsara’s GPS collects location data every second, providing fleets with continuous, real-time visibility via the Samsara dashboard. Some capabilities that Samsara GPS Fleet Tracking offers include:

• Samsara GPS Fleet Tracking provides a live helicopter view of every vehicle, trailer, and piece of equipment in one dashboard. Samsara also provides smart map overlays, live location sharing, and geofences to enable fleets to track the location of their fleet.

• Real-time alerts notify managers of speeding, harsh braking, idling, and unauthorized vehicle use as they happen. 

• Samsara surfaces engine diagnostics, fault codes, and idle time data alongside driver behavior, giving dispatch, safety, and operations teams a complete operational picture from a single view. 

• Samsara offers modern routing capabilities for route planning, commercial navigation, and dispatch to enable fleets to finish routes with fewer miles and vehicles.

• Samsara uses real-time visibility to track assets like trailers and heavy equipment, including asset monitoring, cargo temperature sensing, and remote refrigeration control for trailer fleets. This enables fleets to reduce asset theft, improve utilization, and maximize profitability.

Routing and dispatch software is used to plan, optimize, and manage vehicle routes and driver assignments, particularly for last-mile deliveries and field service tasks. It helps reduce fuel costs and improve on-time delivery by providing tools for automated and optimized routes, driver dispatch, and real-time tracking of deliveries or service tasks. It aims to create efficient routes tailored to your operation's constraints, improving the last-mile delivery process.

Samsara’s routing and navigation solution is an end-to-end routing software that enables fleets to reduce costs and improve safety, compliance, and customer satisfaction. Samsara’s Route Planning, Route Execution, and Commercial Navigation functionality makes it possible for fleets to unify route planning, dispatch software, navigation, and telematics for deeper insights, proactive decision-making, and a competitive edge. Some key benefits include:

• Optimized routes: Cut fuel consumption, minimize vehicle wear, maximize fleet utilization, and improve worker productivity with optimized routes tailored to your organization's operational priorities.

• Increased customer satisfaction: Deliver exceptional customer service with on-time deliveries and build trust with live order tracking if exceptions occur. Keep drivers and dispatch in sync with consistent ground truth, ETAs, and navigation paths. You can also track performance over time to refine routing, train drivers, and improve operating procedures.

• Reduced distractions: Combine navigation and Hours of Service into a single, distraction-free interface; no more app-switching. Samsara navigation accounts for vehicle restrictions like height, weight, and hazmat. Drivers have peace of mind that they are on safe and compliant routes, all within the Samsara Driver App—the highest-rated driver app by professional drivers on Android and iOS.

• Enhanced route efficiency: Leverage Samsara’s Commercial Navigation for turn-by-turn directions that account for vehicle-specific restrictions like height, weight, hazardous materials, and road limitations. This helps avoid fines, low bridge strikes, and unsafe roads. Commercial Navigation is integrated directly into the Samsara Driver App, appearing alongside Hours of Service data, so drivers get a distraction-free, single-screen experience.

• Improved reliability and ease of use: Samsara's modern UI simplifies training and boosts efficiency, ensuring your operation never misses a beat. All backed by a 99.99% uptime SLA and the highest-rated Driver App by professional drivers.

For example, Mohawk Industries leveraged Samsara to close the gap in planned versus actual routes, fully digitizing their routing process and improving route accuracy. As a result, Mohawk reduced miles driven by 4.2 million, saving $7.75 million across their entire fleet

Samsara reduces downtime and streamlines fleet maintenance by consolidating shop visits, speeding up repairs, increasing wrench time, and providing proactive insights. Key benefits include:

• Consolidated shop visits: Samsara reduces equipment downtime by consolidating shop visits using smart work order suggestions. The system automatically groups outstanding maintenance items—such as DVIR defects, vehicle fault codes, and scheduled preventative maintenance—into a single work order. This ensures all relevant repairs are completed in one visit, preventing equipment from repeatedly returning to the shop and increasing overall asset utilization.

• Increased mechanic productivity: Samsara minimizes the time vehicles spend in the shop by increasing productive wrench time for technicians. By providing an integrated system that connects work orders, DVIRs, parts, and warranty information, mechanics spend significantly less time copying data across systems or doing administrative busywork.

• Faster repairs: Repairs begin much faster with Samsara because work orders can be instantly populated from DVIRs, allowing teams to submit and start repairs in under a minute. During the repair, AI-generated action steps and instructions further help technicians streamline the process.

Proactive downtime mitigation: Samsara also enables early issue detection and proactive planning, helping to mitigate downtime. Fleet managers gain a unified, holistic dashboard view of each asset's history and current issues, which informs better scheduling and prioritizes labor effectively.
