Samsara Yard Management
A Connected Operations Cloud for fleet and yard management.
Overview
Samsara, founded in 2015, expanded from fleet telematics into a 'Connected Operations Cloud,' which includes a yard management module. This solution layers yard management on top of a rich foundation of dash cams, ELD compliance, and sensor-based asset tracking. The result is a unified platform for organizations where their own tractors and trailers make up the majority of yard traffic. It provides precise ETAs, dwell times, and safety events fed directly from vehicle telematics data.
