Live

Samsara fleet management and IoT connector for vehicles, equipment, drivers, GPS tracking, telematics, HOS compliance, safety events, and geofences.

What is Samsara?

Full-featured Samsara integration for connected fleet and operations data. Track assets, industrial gateways, and equipment GPS locations, monitor vehicle telematics (engine state, fuel, RPM, odometer, fault codes), query industrial sensor time-series data, manage drivers and HOS compliance, review safety events, inspect DVIRs, and organize resources with tags and geofences. Supports snapshot, feed (incremental polling), and history (time-range) data access patterns.
