529: Empower The People Who Power The World, With Samsara

Описание: In this episode of the #LetsTalkSupplyChain Podcast, we discuss:

[02.41] An introduction to Tim, his role as a sales engineer, and a reminder of how Samsara helps their customers.

“You get two different kinds of engineers: the kind who don’t really want to be out in the field talking to customers, and they do the coding and product development. And then you get my team, who love to be out there. We get to see a lot of different tech, and a lot of different businesses!”

[04.34] The biggest conversations happening at Manifest 2026 are about the impact of # AI across the industry.

“There’s a lot of talk about the impact of AI on supply chain and operations.”

[06.59] How Samsara can monitor real-time issues, from weather to driver behavior, to help businesses shift from reactive to predictive road safety and #logistics.

“Our job is to prevent accidents before they happen, and AI, tech in general, is making that possible now. We’re able to detect when a driver is becoming drowsy… and tell the driver to pull over.”

[09.56] Samsara’s recent advert at the Super Bowl, and their first celebrity coaching avatar.

[11.42] How Samsara sees workers thinking about #technology and AI, and a real-world example of driver feedback on Samsara solutions.

[14.33] How technology and AI can help businesses attract and retain talent, and Samsara’s success with the #gamification of driver safety.

“Driver churn is a big issue; it’s hard to keep people employed and happy in a role that can be physically challenging and difficult… When you make their lives easier, it makes a world of difference.”

[17.41] The continuing problem of data siloes, how Samsara is helping bridge the gap, and why that’s so important.

“Companies have data in many different systems – even in physical operations, it’s not uncommon for us to speak to people who have more than 10 systems just for transportation. And when data exists in different environments, it’s almost impossible to make any correlations between them – even with AI.”

[22.01] Why #unification is so important, and how siloes prevent the success of new technology projects.

[23.31] The role of technology in supply chain agility.

[25.56] From routing efficiency to idling reduction, how sustainable decisions can also be leveraged for cost savings.

“A big part of environmental responsibility comes from using fuel efficiently, but right now it’s surprising how many vehicles are still idling in supply chain fleets… If you take control of idling, you can really drive down cost and help the environment.”

[28.48] The big #challenges and #opportunities for Samsara customers and the industry over the next year.

Plus, Tim Nagy tells us all about tech & AI: what workers really think; agility; retaining talent; & shifting from reactive to predictive road safety & logistics.

➡️ So tell us in the comments below, how could AI help make the road safer for drivers while also reducing their daily stress?
