The State of Tennessee has awarded Samsara a single-source multi-year contract to supply the state and participating government agency fleets with its connected operations platform. The State of Tennessee will make Samsara's technology platform — spanning vehicle telematics, equipment monitoring, and driver safety — available to all state, municipal, and county fleets. Collectively, these fleets serve the State of Tennessee's growing population of nearly seven million people.

Use of the technology can help public sector fleets elevate citizen services, save taxpayer dollars, and keep their employees safe, according to Samsara. From public works agencies to sanitation teams to transit authorities, Samsara's Connected Operations Cloud empowers every department with the real-time data needed to harness actionable insights.

"In the world of government services, the efficient use of assets and resources is a top priority. With Samsara, these organizations gain visibility into operational data that can help them do just that — ultimately reducing maintenance costs, building fuel-efficient infrastructure, and streamlining response times to citizen complaints," Alexander Stevenson, vice president of product management at Samsara.
