Empowering the World’s Largest Operators to Transform
As large enterprises in physical operations digitize, they’re demanding a partner that delivers scale, performance, and actionable insights. Samsara has become the platform of choice because of its ability to reduce complexity and deliver clear and fast ROI.
One of the largest mechanical contractors in the U.S. chose Samsara after a successful pilot, achieving a 44% total safety event rate reduction and a 72% reduction in mobile usage. The company now uses Video-Based Safety, Telematics, Connected Training, and Driver Qualification products to ensure its complex field operations remain safe and efficient.
Additional select large wins in Q3 include the State of New York, one of the world’s largest providers of oilfield services, one of the world's largest and most diversified media corporations, and Cadent, the UK’s largest gas distribution network.
Protecting Frontline Workers with Advanced AI Solutions
Given the inherent safety risks in asset-heavy, labor-intensive operations, reducing incidents is a top priority, as it can directly lower costs, protect brand reputation, and strengthen worker retention. Samsara’s platform helps customers achieve significant safety improvements, and the company continues to build innovative products to support increased protection of frontline workers.
Samsara’s new Safety Report showed on an aggregated basis, fleets using its dual-facing AI dash cameras, real-time in-cab alerts, and driver coaching saw a 37% reduction in accidents after the first six months of adoption, and this increased to a 73% reduction in accidents after 30 months. Further, larger fleets with over 500 vehicles achieved an aggregate 84% reduction in harsh events, a 23% reduction in speeding, and a 98% reduction in mobile usage.
Samsara delivered new AI-powered coaching features that help improve safety and efficiency:
- Automated Coaching: the first advanced, automated coaching for the entirety of the driver experience, including safety, compliance, idling, and more. This feature allows organizations to use avatars so that they can scale their coaching programs without additional headcount.
- Group Coaching: enables managers to recognize and coach frontline workers in a group setting using real operational data. It uses AI to generate a ready-to-use coaching session that highlights positive recognition, fuel efficiency (eco driving), compliance, and safety.
- Workflow Automations: a no-code workflow builder that leverages Samsara's massive data asset to streamline coaching and training processes. This feature can automate lower-priority events to the driver for self-review while ensuring that high-priority incidents are flagged for manager coaching and that all relevant trainings are assigned instantly.
"The world's largest operators are fundamentally changing how they protect their people and manage their assets with technology, and Samsara is their strategic partner in that transformation," said Amit Vyas, Chief Revenue Officer at Samsara. "The strongest validation of our platform are the tangible results we deliver across safety and efficiency. We're building on this momentum to make an even greater impact on the industries that power our economy."
