Samsara’s New Tools to Provide Fuel Price Visibility

Samsara launched new tools designed to provide end-to-end visibility, connecting the dots across fuel operations. These insights empower organizations to move beyond reacting—proactively pinpointing savings opportunities, detecting and combatting fraud, eliminating waste, and taking decisive control of fuel spend.

Key takeaways:

·        Samsara's Fuel Price Insights provide fuel price visibility and coaching, using an integrated overlay of nearby fuel prices to identify opportunities to coach drivers toward lower-cost fueling options. It also effectively guides drivers on when to utilize preferred fuel providers with company discounts or opt for in-yard fueling.

·        Samsara's Driver Efficiency Report already provides admins with a comprehensive view to track and coach driver behavior across several key factors. Building on this, the newest advanced idling features offers unparalleled precision to provide greater insights that pinpoint truly unproductive idling. Real-time alerts based on customizable triggers such as outdoor temperature, idle event duration, PTO, and geofence, deliver immediate in-cab audio alerts, prompting drivers to turn off their vehicles. Users can add specific idling events to established coaching workflows, addressing them alongside safety and compliance issues to achieve lasting behavior change. Automated tracking sends personalized Kudos directly within the Driver App. Managers can identify opportunities for improvement across important efficiency and safety metrics relative to peer performance.

·        Fuel theft and fraud detection features provide the critical monitoring needed to identify suspicious activity quickly and take action. Detect potential fuel theft from siphoning with real-time alerts triggered by sudden drops (5%+) in fuel level. A new map visualization provides additional context by plotting unverified transaction locations. AI-powered receipt capture enables drivers to submit fuel purchases via a pre-defined form, with AI automating the data capture into Fuel Purchase Reports to eliminate manual errors.

·        Integrating Samsara telematics data with Liberty Energy provides automated reporting that helps simplify compliance for fleets in Canada and the United States.
