"We have one to two people overseeing 140 drivers, and the Netradyne cameras were producing hundreds of videos with no IDs on them. It was impossible to review all of the footage and accurately identify which drivers needed coaching."

Memphis Light, Gas and Water (MLGW) is the largest three-service municipal utility provider in the United States. To improve their service restoration after a series of heavy storms, MLGW realised they needed a new solution beyond what their previous fleet management software could offer. They also needed a better way to proactively coach drivers and exonerate employees from false claims so they could improve driving performance and minimise costs.
With Samsara, MLGW unlocks real-time visibility across their vast utilities operations. Supervisors can minimise risky behaviours with Samsara’s AI Dash Cams. This resulted in a 100% reduction in safety events using In-Cab Nudges and ultimately to a 20% reduction of preventable vehicle collisions. In addition, MLGW improved their service delivery with an API integration between Samsara and ArcGIS. Using this API integration, MLGW is able to quickly dispatch available technicians based on vehicle location to service outages. As a result of Samsara, MLGW significantly enhanced operational efficiency, ultimately helping to keep utility rates low and continue delivering exceptional service to the community. l Read the case study here.
