Meet Hoskins Equipment




Hoskins Equipment needed better visibility to achieve operational excellence across thousands pieces of equipment, 45 vehicles, and multiple sites.

As leaders in high-reach equipment rentals, keeping up with their standard of excellence meant that Hoskins Equipment needed a way to operate more efficiently. Lacking clear visibility into their physical operations, Hoskins sought a solution that would enable them to stretch their resources further so they can work better, faster. 

Hoskins saw an opportunity to digitize their processes and take a unified approach to their operations across their drivers, assets, and facilities. At the top of their list was finding an integrated solution that can consolidate these solutions within a single pane of glass—empowering Hoskins to maximize efficiency and centralize their operations.

Centralized platform transforms their operations

With the Samsara Connected Operations Cloud, Hoskins unified their operations within a single integrated platform. By centralizing data and workstreams across driver safety, asset management, and consolidated video, Hoskins was able to transform their operations—decreasing incidents, reducing costs, and improving back-office efficiency.

Taking a unified approach to their operations

Hoskins’ previous security camera system was outdated and required tedious, manual review to track down critical video footage. Using Samsara’s integrated platform approach, Hoskins was able to leverage their existing onsite camera infrastructure and consolidate visibility. Now, they can access their vehicle camera streams, camera footage, and asset locations all within a single dashboard.

The Asset Tag allows Hoskins to monitor the majority of their assets at scale

With over 2,300 pieces of equipment Hoskins needed a convenient, easy-to-install solution for tracking their smaller assets. The Samsara Asset Tag provided consistent, real-time visibility and drastically reduced time spent locating equipment. The convenience of the Asset Tag enables Hoskins to track smaller assets that were previously unmonitored. While they continue to use Samsara Asset Gateways to monitor equipment maintenance and utilization, they plan to implement the Asset Tag across upwards of 90% of all future fleet additions, expanding their tracking capabilities significantly.
