Samsara

Samsara is a public company (NYSE: IOT) that builds AI-powered technology for physical operations. Its flagship Connected Operations® Platform connects people, devices, and systems to harness IoT data and turn it into actionable insights aimed at improving safety, efficiency, and sustainability. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in San Francisco, the company operates across North America, Europe, and Asia.

The engineering scope is broad and data-intensive: AI and machine learning, computer vision and video-based safety, IoT and connected devices, telematics, real-time GPS tracking, data analytics, and cloud platform development. Product lines include AI-powered dash cams for driver safety, real-time GPS tracking for vehicles and assets, electronic logging devices for hours-of-service compliance, vehicle telematics, maintenance monitoring, and routing and dispatch optimization. These are offered as parts of a single open platform rather than as standalone tools.

Scale is a central feature of the technical environment. Samsara reports tens of thousands of customers globally, over 25 trillion data points processed annually, and hundreds of millions of workflows digitized each year, underpinning what it describes as the world's largest connected operations dataset. The company serves industries including construction, transportation and warehousing, field services, manufacturing, retail, logistics, and the public sector.

The founding team previously built Meraki, which was acquired by Cisco for $1.2B. The company describes its mission as improving the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of the operations that power the global economy, with a product emphasis on technology that helps people return home safely.
