We're thrilled to announce that Fast Company has ranked Samsara #5 on their list of Most Innovative Companies for 2025 in the Enterprise sector, a recognition of our commitment to solving some of the hardest problems our customers are facing in the world of physical operations.

At Samsara, we understand the immense challenges faced by our customers—organizations in industries like construction, transportation, and field services that form the backbone of our economy. These frontline workers, representing 80% of the global workforce, tackle the toughest and most demanding jobs imaginable. 

Every day, our customers manage vast fleets, complex supply chains, and sprawling construction sites while confronting dangerous on-the-job hazards. Inefficiencies and risks can impact everything from delivering critical medical supplies on time to completing important infrastructure services—impacting the lives of both frontline workers and the citizens and consumers they serve. For the last decade, Samsara has brought technology to the frontlines, fundamentally transforming how these organizations operate.

Our customer-centric culture fuels innovation in physical operations

We are a team of builders who aren’t just passionate about solving real-world problems with technology, but also immersing ourselves in our customers’ environments to deliver exceptional outcomes. Our employees spend time shoulder-to-shoulder with our customers to develop a deep understanding of the challenges they face. We go on driver ride-alongs to see what it’s like to spend all day on the road. We go on-site to see how job crews keep each other safe in dangerous and remote locations. We spend time in the back office to understand why real-time visibility and automating inefficient workflows are so important. And we spend time with managers to understand how to provide better data to drive better decisions.

We combine our deep customer understanding with world-class expertise in cutting-edge technology, including the latest artificial intelligence and machine learning science. We believe in shipping fast and iterating quickly with our customers. This tight customer feedback loop means we deliver solutions that make a real difference, whether it's making operations safer by identifying risks and dramatically reducing accidents, helping save money by decreasing fuel consumption, or improving decision-making with better data. We help our customers operate smarter.

In the last year, we introduced several new solutions, including the Samsara Asset Tag. We identified a common pain point through customer visits and feedback: difficulty tracking small, mission-critical equipment. Using that feedback, we built the industry’s first industrial-grade Bluetooth tag, helping organizations track and manage these high-value assets. Hear from the builders behind the Asset Tag:

We are building a safer, more efficient world

Our innovations are not just about improving operations; they're about making the world a safer, more efficient, and sustainable place. Over the last year, we partnered with our customers to achieve significant milestones: helping prevent over 250,000 accidents, digitizing more than 300 million workflows, and saving more than 3 billion pounds of CO₂

We are honored to be recognized by Fast Company as one of the Most Innovative Companies of 2025, and we remain committed to helping our customers and the critical operations they power to keep the world running smoothly and reliably. If you're passionate about building innovative solutions and want to make a real-world impact, consider joining the Samsara team.
