Samsara, Inc. is a provider of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions designed to help organizations monitor and manage their physical operations. The company develops integrated hardware and software systems that capture real-time data from vehicles, equipment, and facilities. Through its cloud-based platform, customers can track assets, analyze performance metrics and ensure safety and regulatory compliance across distributed operations.
The core product suite offered by Samsara includes telematics devices, dash cams, environmental sensors, and industrial gateways that connect to machines and vehicles. These hardware components transmit data securely to a unified dashboard, where analytics tools and machine-learning algorithms generate insights on fuel usage, driver behavior, route optimization, equipment health and temperature control. This end-to-end solution enables organizations to reduce operating costs, minimize downtime and improve workforce productivity.
Samsara serves a wide range of industries, including transportation and logistics, construction, manufacturing, energy and utilities, food and beverage, and public sector agencies. Its solutions are deployed by fleets of trucks and delivery vehicles as well as fixed assets such as refrigeration units, generators and manufacturing equipment. The company operates globally, with a strong presence in North America and growing adoption in Europe, Asia-Pacific and other regions seeking to modernize legacy monitoring systems.
Founded in 2015 by Sanjit Biswas and John Bicket—who previously co-founded Meraki, a cloud networking business acquired by Cisco—Samsara has quickly scaled through successive funding rounds and a public listing. Headquartered in San Francisco, the company is led by a management team with deep expertise in network engineering, data science and industrial automation. Samsara continues to invest in research and development to expand its IoT platform, enhance analytics capabilities and broaden its product portfolio for digital transformation initiatives.
