Element, Samsara Partner to Launch Comprehensive Fleet, Ops Management Offering Across Canada, US

Breaking Communication Barriers: Patriot Aftermarket Partners, Rugged Radios Unite to Keep Teams Connected

Integration delivers an enhanced fleet management experience powered by data-driven insights


Samsara Inc., pioneer of Connected Operations® Platform, and Element Fleet Management Corp., largest publicly traded, pure-play automotive fleet manager in the world, announced a holistic fleet and operations management offering. This joint offering streamlines procurement and onboarding for shared customers, delivering greater safety and efficiency through the combined power of product solutions—far beyond traditional telematics.

“Fleet leaders today are facing rising operational costs, evolving regulatory standards, and the need for improved safety and sustainability,” said Robert Stobaugh, Chief Operating Officer, GTM, at Samsara. “With this partnership, enterprise and government fleets can unlock data-driven insights to help them more efficiently, safely and cost effectively manage their fleets.”

Through this expanded partnership, Element clients in Canada and the United States gain access to Samsara’s open platform, delivering real-time, data-driven insights across their physical and digital operations. By aligning Element’s lifecycle fleet management expertise with Samsara’s connected operations technology, fleet administrators benefit from a unified offering that manages the full lifecycle of critical assets—including vehicles and operations equipment.

Now fleet managers, compliance officers, IT leaders, and more can access a number of benefits including:

  • Improved safety and risk management through AI-powered incident detection and real-time coaching, along with integrated compliance tracking
  • Increased uptime with predictive maintenance and streamlined service planning
  • Enhanced transparency enabled by unified reporting across vehicles, equipment assets, and workflows
  • Sustainability insights supporting electrification readiness, emissions tracking, and fleet optimization
  • Unified client experience through integrated procurement, onboarding, and advisory services
  • Access to comprehensive, real-time operational and cost-saving strategies that are ready for deployment in response to evolving macroenvironment business challenges

“At the core of this unique partnership is a shared commitment to redefine how fleets operate—seamlessly integrating intelligence, automation, and expertise to create real enterprise value for our clients,” said David Madrigal, EVP and Chief Commercial Officer at Element. “Through our integrated expertise, we remain focused on maximizing the performance of clients’ fleets so they can focus on growing their business.”

Partnership in Action: 
Join executives from Element, McLeod Software, and Samsara for a deeper dive into this partnership at Samsara’s customer conference, Beyond, on June 23 – 25 in San Diego, CA. The session, “Unleashing Workforce Potential: Maximizing Productivity With Data Integrations,” will look at using data integrations to optimize resources, streamline workflows, and boost your bottom line.​
