Five minutes with… Jonathan Ramsey, Senior Solutions Marketing Manager, Samsara

16 Apr 2026
Tell us about Samsara?

At Samsara we offer the Connected Operations Platform, a cloud-based solution that enables operators to harness data from vehicles, equipment, and sites to improve safety, efficiency, and sustainability. Used by companies involved in transport, construction, and logistics, Samsara’s platform provides real-time visibility, reducing accidents and fuel consumption while automating workflows to increase operational productivity.

What are the advantages for operators who adopt Samsara’s Connected Operations Platform?

For fleet operators based in the office, it means fewer manual decisions, tighter control of costs, and clearer visibility from dispatch to delivery. For drivers, it is all about making the job safer and more streamlined. AI operates like a co-pilot, providing people across the whole operation with insights that anticipate risks and opportunities before they arise.

Tell us about Smart Compliance from Samsara?

Our new Smart Compliance product helps fleets prevent tachograph infringements while cutting the administrative burden associated with compliance. Created in partnership with VDO – Europe’s leading tachograph brand – we now integrate infringement analysis data from 17 countries directly into our platform. Powered by VDO’s infringement rulesets, the system combines infringement analysis, real-time driver alerts, and resolution workflows in one place, replacing fragmented tools traditionally used by transport managers.

A key innovation is the introduction of proactive audio alerts that warn drivers before they breach critical thresholds, such as the four hours and 30 minutes continuous driving rule. By intervening in real-time, Smart Compliance shifts fleets from a reactive stance to a proactive approach in managing risk.

Describe Samsara’s AI Multicam system?

Samsara’s AI Multicam system is the latest development in our video safety platform and includes four additional high-definition cameras mounted around the vehicle to deliver full 360-degree coverage. The cameras use edge-based AI to eliminate blind spots, effectively allowing them to see around corners, alerting the driver if they spot any hazards. The system addresses one of the UK’s most persistent fleet challenges – blind-spot incidents involving HGVs.

What will Samsara have on its stand at the Commercial Vehicle Show?

Visitors to our stand (5A40) will be able to try out the new AI Multicam and see live demonstrations of Smart Compliance. Attendees can also experience our latest innovations first hand and learn how the Connected Operations Platform helps fleets improve safety, streamline compliance and reduce operational costs. Returning for 2026, the Samsara Truck Driving Simulator will offer visitors a hands-on demonstration on how AI-powered alerts can help drivers anticipate and avoid risky scenarios on the road.

How important is the CV Show for Samsara?

The Commercial Vehicle Show provides us with an important opportunity to meet face-to-face with customers and exhibit our range of products, including our latest AI-powered safety and compliance tools that are helping operators transform fleet management. As the official Main Stage sponsor, the show also gives us the chance to host expert-led sessions over the three-day event, exploring how emerging technologies are transforming commercial fleet operations.
