Manage Your Fleet While Kicking Up Your Feet
What do you like best?
Samsara is a great way for companies to keep a watchful eye on their transit fleet and what is going on with each and every vehicle. This program includes quite a bit of detailed information, very informative reports, statistics, analytics, and so much more. You can use the GPS feature to see exactly where specific fleet vehicles are at so that you can reroute them if you have something unexpected come up, or you can keep an eye on which routes they are taking to help maximize efficiency which has been a huge help. There are so many great things about this program that it is hard to picture using anything aside from this, but it also has a few setbacks which I'll discuss below.
What do you dislike?
While Samsara is one of the greatest Fleet Management software platforms I have ever used, that isn't to say that there hasn't been a few bumps along the way. With the company being so successful and doing so well, we have actually had our dedicated account representatives receive promotions within the company and leave their role only to be followed up by someone who has to learn our account, get to know us, and start fresh. That's a great problem for the company to have, but on our end, it can be a little cumbersome. There have been very few instances of some of our drivers having issues with logging their data or sometimes not being able to update things but I am almost sure that any program we would have used would likely have seen these issues as well.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Samsara has solved quite a few issues that we have faced and also been a huge help in us realizing what some of our issues were that we didn't even know about. With the GPS tracking allowing us to optimize routes, fuel economy, and time this program has saved us money in countless ways.
