2015 — Samsara was founded

Sanjit Biswas and John Bicket leave a Cisco acquisition to build technology for the people running the physical world, not managing it from a distance. First product: the Vehicle Gateway — real-time GPS, diagnostics, and visibility for fleet operators.

2017 — Safety and compliance, shaped by drivers

AI dash cams and ELD compliance arrive out of direct operator requests. Inward- and outward-facing cameras turn everyday driving into automatic coaching.

2019 — Beyond the vehicle

Equipment monitoring and site visibility extend the platform past fleets — one system for the whole operation, from the cab to the yard.

2021 — One connected platform. Public company.

The Connected Operations Platform and App Marketplace bring telematics, equipment, and worksite visibility together. In December, Samsara lists on the NYSE under the ticker IOT.

2024 — Scale as proof

Trillions of data points and 80B+ miles of real-world operator data now flow through the platform every year, the most honest feedback loop in the industry, and the foundation for operator-grade AI.

2025 — The agentic chapter

Samsara's AI stops waiting to be asked. It flags risk before it becomes an incident and surfaces cost before it lands, the current chapter, still being written with 20,000+ operations.

Beyond – Written with operators, not for them.

Operators told us what wasn't working, and we built it with them. The next chapter isn't AI bolted onto the old way of working — it's changing how the work gets done, with the people who do it. One shift at a time.
