They clear trees, brush, and other vegetation to prevent outages, and they construct and maintain the systems that keep power flowing to communities. The company employs more than 36,000 people across vegetation management, power line construction, electrical testing, utility pole maintenance, roadway lighting, and more.“Working with Samsara has enabled a step change in how we operate and mitigate risk across our fleet,” said Farrukh Rafiq, Vice President of Fleet Operations at Asplundh. “What stands out is how simple the platform makes managing an operation of this size. Seeing our vehicles, crews, and equipment in a single view means our teams are all working from the same picture. Samsara is already helping us improve, and we’re excited to keep investing in technology and co-building what comes next.”The partnership is set to deliver several benefits to Asplundh’s operations:Fewer incidents across every business line: In-cab alerts from AI Dash Cams warn drivers of hazards and provide real-time coaching. Supervisors gain visibility into risk trends, finding opportunities for improvement and positive recognition.Equipment when and where it’s needed: Powered Asset Gateways and Asset Tags extend equipment insights from trailers to chippers, aerial lifts, high-value electrical test equipment, and smaller tools, showing what’s in use, what’s sitting idle, and what’s due for maintenance, making the most of every asset.Faster response: Reliable, real-time location visibility for vehicles improves dispatching. With Samsara’s FirstNet Trusted™ VG55-FN Vehicle Gateway, crews receive priority connectivity as they support utility customers.Vehicles arrive ready to work: With Samsara’s Pre-Delivery Installation program, new vehicles arrive equipped with Samsara technology, getting them into service faster.Improved insurance structure: Samsara’s insurance partnerships help reduce collateral obligations through greater visibility into safety improvements.One set of metrics across the business: Standardized reporting gives leaders a view across every operating company, reflecting the One Asplundh™ strategy. Samsara integrates with existing tools and provides increased flexibility with its 400+ partner integrations.“Asplundh crews work every day to protect the infrastructure that communities run on,” said David Gal, Vice President of Connected Equipment at Samsara. “An operation this size means keeping track of thousands of vehicles, tools, and equipment at once. The more precisely they can do that, the faster they can show up when a community needs them, and that’s exactly what we build for.”To learn more about how Samsara supports utility and infrastructure services operations, visit samsara.com.
