What is GPS fleet tracking software and how does it work?

GPS fleet tracking software is one of the more popular types of tracking systems available to businesses and consumers today. Put simply, a GPS tracker is a device that uses the Global Positioning System to determine and track the location of its carrier (typically a vehicle or person). This enables location data to be collected and displayed on a map which can then be used to locate something. Fleet tracking software can help fleet managers gain real-time visibility into their operations and driver behavior,  while increasing driver satisfaction, decreasing fuel consumption, and idling through predictive analytics and accurate reporting.

How is your solution different from other providers?

Samsara is the pioneer of the Connected Operations Cloud, which allows businesses and organizations that depend on physical operations to harness IoT data to develop actionable business insights and improve their operations. Samsara’s solution is made up of proprietary easy to deploy hardware and modern easy to implement cloud software. With Samsara, you can consolidate all your telematics tools into one unified platform so you can seamlessly switch between compliance, safety Dash Cams, vehicle maintenance, dispatch, and more.

When broad line food distributor Cash-Wa Distributing was looking for a telematics solution, they considered eight different providers before ultimately selecting Samsara. A driving factor in their decision? The fact that Samsara could accomplish what would have otherwise required multiple vendors. Read more.

How will my drivers react to being tracked?

Telematics is one of the most effective technologies for improving fleet efficiency. Though drivers can be skeptical initially, location tracking provides significant improvements for a driver’s day-to-day workload. They need to provide fewer status check-ins and updates from the road. And, with proximity search, they can protect themselves from false claims of delays. Upfront transparency is key to maintaining driver engagement and minimizing resistance to new technology.

Companies who want to limit tracking during driver personal time can do so with the Samsara Privacy Button. The Privacy Button is an easy-to-use accessory that allows drivers to turn location and GPS tracking on and off when conducting personal activities. When pushed, the button immediately turns off all location tracking from the vehicle. 

While change management can be challenging for some when it comes to tracking, Samsara has carefully considered data protection in order to help ensure personal data is processed in accordance with its legal requirements. Data is therefore processed in a transparent way and is retained only as is necessary, with appropriate safeguards in place to secure and protect it.

What are the advantages of a telematics solution for fleet managers and drivers?

Managing a fleet of vehicles, trailers, assets, and equipment can be challenging, no matter the fleet size. That's why over 75% of fleet managers rely on fleet tracking software or vehicle telematics to help support day-to-day operations in at least some of their vehicles, according to data from Government Fleet’s annual benchmarking survey.

For Fleet Managers, some of the benefits of a fleet management solution include:

  • Increased efficiency 

  • Reduced operational costs 

  • Optimized vehicle performance 

  • Automated workflows

  • Streamlined compliance

For Drivers, fleet management software helps reduce unnecessary hassles. Some of their benefits include:

  • Driver routing communications: Reducing driver callbacks, distractions, delays, and angry customers. 

  • Geofence: Drivers are delayed due to unplanned wait times. Geofence notifications upon arrival minimize wait time. 

  • Maintenance alerts: Fleet managers can institute diligent maintenance processes and schedules, which translates into less vehicle breakdown stress for drivers. 

  • Hours of service (HOS):  Electronic logs provide drivers with more control over their daily routines, which greatly contributes to job satisfaction.

How much does a telematics solution cost? Will it save me money?

Fleets are always looking for ways to save money, and investing in technology can seem counterintuitive. However, investing in the right technology can actually save money in the long run. In fact, there are a lot of operational levers that a telematics solution can pull to deliver substantial ROI to an organization. 

Samsara offers a streamlined license structure for all products and makes it easy for customers to deploy and ensure that users have access to the latest technology over the long term. Samsara is committed to providing simple pricing, rapid return on investment, and a low total cost of ownership. Telematics pricing generally works on a per-vehicle/per-month or annual basis. While there is no doubt that our pricing is competitive, when looking at investing in a telematics solution it’s important to evaluate the value that comes with that price. Understanding what is included, alongside what is not included and the cost of that delta is key. For example, are there additional fees for WiFi, driver workflow or Dash Cams, integrations and APIs, onboarding and training, or does your purchase require an installation partner, which translates to additional fees? Also, consider the future state of your investment, will you receive future technology advancements free of charge? or will you be expected to pay for updates?

Samsara customers receive:

  • An all-in-one fleet management platform so that everyone from the field to the back office operates on the same real-time data.

  • Easy to deploy plug-and-play hardware, intuitive, modern design, cloud-hosted software.

  • Exceptional onboarding, dedicated implementation services, expert-led training, and responsive 24/7 US-based support.
