Samsara develops an industrial Internet of Things (IoT) platform designed to help organizations monitor, manage, and optimize physical operations. The company combines connected hardware — including telematics devices, GPS trackers, dash cameras, and environmental sensors — with cloud-based software to provide real-time visibility into vehicles, mobile equipment, and fixed assets. Its software offers tools for fleet management, driver and worker safety, asset tracking, compliance (including electronic logging), maintenance scheduling, and operational analytics.
The Samsara platform emphasizes integration of live data streams with analytics and workflow features to drive efficiency and safety across industries that rely on dispersed equipment and mobile workforces. Typical customers include transportation and logistics companies, construction and field services firms, food and beverage and cold chain operators, utilities, and manufacturers. Samsara’s offerings are delivered via subscription, enabling customers to access device data, reporting, and automated alerts through web and mobile applications, and to integrate that data with third-party systems through APIs.
Founded by Sanjit Biswas and John Bicket, Samsara launched in the mid-2010s and has grown from an early-stage IoT hardware-software provider into a publicly listed company (trading on the NYSE under the symbol IOT). The company is headquartered in the United States and serves customers across North America and internationally. Sanjit Biswas serves as a senior leader and public face of the company as a co-founder and chief executive, with the leadership team focused on scaling product development, go-to-market execution, and global customer support.
