    Samsara
    We use the Samsara Apps & Driver Workflows to record incidents which happen away from the depot. It enables drivers to record where & when an incident happens. They can add a picture, video or other media relating to the incident. The system guides the driver through questions to make the process easier.

    Cons
    Descartes Systems Group

    Driver workflows lets our Ops team review issues in real time, make vehicle substitutions when necessary, and schedule maintenance when a defect is found. It helps us stay on top of issues before they become bigger, which saves down-time for vehicles. Drivers are comfortable with the flow, which makes them more likely to be highly compliant with using the app.

    Alternatives Considered
    Descartes Systems Group
    It is a powered tool that can be used by any of the current logistics (and why not?, non-logistics companies), that need a reliable, accurate, and well-based amount of information of the fleet, with ease. Using the [latest] technologies, integrating a wide view of transportation, inventory, [and] custom status on a single but not simple platform.

    We found Microlise very difficult to work with, both from a procurement perspective, demo & from historically using some of their solutions. The App isn't as dynamic as Samsara Apps & Driver Workflows & we struggled to be able to evaluate the tool, not being able to get the same results made us move onto other options.
