Samsara Announces Upgrade Program to Provide Operations Leaders with Absolute Confidence Amid Economic Uncertainty

With Samsara’s AI-powered platform, organisations can use advanced technology to operate safer and smarter in any climate while gaining a true partnership built to last

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In response to today’s high demand for resilience in the world of physical operations, Samsara Inc. ("Samsara") (NYSE: IOT), the pioneer of the Connected Operations^® Platform, announced its new Upgrade for Smarter Operations programme across the UK and Ireland, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg markets. The programme is designed to make it easy for organisations that rely on systems with inadequate capabilities and customer support to upgrade to Samsara’s advanced and comprehensive AI-powered platform. Eligible companies to upgrade include organisations like Lightfoot, Microlise, Webfleet, Trakm8, Lytx, Geotab, Verizon Connect, VisionTrak, and Masternaught among others. Further details are here.

"We switched technology providers because our previous telematics and cameras were unreliable – the data was poor, and our drivers didn't trust it, hindering bonus planning. We were close to choosing Microlise, but Samsara's ability to identify key events and behaviours stood out, offering a path to improve our culture through training," said Peter Cox, Head of Transport, Clean Linen.

Thousands of organisations have switched to Samsara because of these advantages and more. Below are a few of their stories with perspective on Samsara’s differentiated solutions and support:

• “It was only when we started investigating alternatives that we discovered Samsara’s AI-based technology. We soon realised it was the perfect fit for us, providing information we needed in real-time.” Olivia Fagan, Compliance Officer, Fagan & Whalley

• “We see Samsara as a strategic partner that not only helps us to achieve our current goals, but also supports our long-term vision of a sustainable and successful company… We particularly appreciate the transparent and predictable cost structure that Samsara offers us. Unlike other providers, we get an all-inclusive solution that impresses with its intuitive, user-friendly platform.” David Intruglio, National Logistics Manager, Alsco

• "When we studied the market, we realised that Samsara differentiated itself from its competitors with particularly effective, latest-generation solutions. We also appreciated their ability to respond very quickly to our specifications with great precision. For the installation of the first gateway, a Samara technician guided us by videoconference, and it took us barely 15 minutes. We installed the subsequent units completely independently and very easily, taking just 5 minutes per vehicle.” Karim Aït Soumane, Co-Founder, TMA Express

• “The Samsara safety score has been a runaway success. It’s given myself and other drivers something to compete over, I can’t count the number of times we’ve joked about beating each other’s score, it’s a fantastic system.” Eddie Burns, Driver and Driver Manager, Midland Tyre Services

"The world of physical operations is the engine of our economy, driving over 40% of global GDP and impacting everyone's daily life," said Philip van der Wilt, EMEA SVP and GM, at Samsara. "The legacy solutions some are relying on simply aren't built for today's economic uncertainties and operational complexities, eroding the confidence leaders need. That's why we're making it even easier for them to upgrade to the clear advantages Samsara's platform delivers."
