Vehicle locations
Pings around each swipe, for the tractors that burn the fuel.
Samsara
Samsara already knows where the truck was.
I do not replace Samsara. I read it, next to the fuel card and the TMS, so a swipe can be checked against a ping you already pay for.
Read-only on a system the shop knows
Your drivers and dispatchers stay in Samsara. I do not give them a new login and I do not push notes back into Samsara. You create the key. You can pull it.
If Samsara has a tank reading, I use it with the same rule as any other sensor. A calm trace can verify a fill. A jumping trace cannot.
The card is still the other half
Samsara does not know the price on a Relay, WEX, or Comdata swipe unless you have already joined them. That join is the work. Relay, WEX, Comdata, or another card all start the same way: a read of the purchases.
If you also run Motive on part of the fleet, say so. Mixed telematics is common. I match each device to its tractor instead of pretending the fleet is one brand.
What I look for
What I need from Samsara
A stable unit id
The same tractor the card and the TMS are trying to name.
Your key
Read-only, in your account, revocable on your side.
Short answers
Before you book.
No. They keep using Samsara as they do now. I am not a new app on the phone.
No. I do not write back. The list comes to a person by the report, not as a new Samsara workflow.
Next step
Let's use the Samsara data you already have.
15 minutes. If Samsara is live and the card is live, the audit has somewhere to start.
