HCSS and Samsara collectively launched an integration designed to improve fleet management and equipment tracking for construction companies. This collaboration offers construction companies a comprehensive solution to manage their entire mixed fleet from a single, centralized platform. 

The new solution will connect Samsara-tracked vehicles and equipment directly to HCSS Telematics. Near real-time GPS location, diagnostics, usage data, fault codes, ignition status, fuel levels, and other critical data are now incorporated into the HCSS ecosystem. This feature allows fleet managers to monitor assets without switching between systems, simplifying operations and enhancing decision-making. 

Features of the new HCSS and Samsara integration 

A standout benefit of this integration is its ability to optimize maintenance scheduling. By leveraging near real-time diagnostic data from Samsara within HCSS Maintenance workflows, equipment managers can schedule maintenance based on actual usage and conditions rather than relying on fixed schedules. This proactive approach reduces downtime, extends equipment lifespans, lowers maintenance costs, and ensures reliability across fleets. 

Construction companies often manage mixed fleets that include heavy equipment and road vehicles. The integration centralizes data from all fleet types within HCSS Telematics, providing managers with a comprehensive view of fleet status whether on job sites or on the road. This centralized visibility enhances resource allocation and overall operational efficiency. Samsara data is transmitted in near real-time to HCSS Telematics, ensuring that fleet managers always have access to the most current information for accurate decisions regarding deployment and maintenance. 

For HCSS users, this collaboration brings significant value by providing centralized fleet visibility, improved equipment utilization, streamlined maintenance processes, and simplified compliance management. By managing both HCSS-tracked and Samsara-tracked assets from a single dashboard, construction companies can save time, reduce complexity, and make smarter decisions about their operations. 

This partnership underscores both companies' commitment to delivering open, flexible, and scalable solutions that meet the evolving needs of construction companies managing mixed fleets.
