MEXICO CITY - Samsara Inc. (NYSE: NYSE:IOT), known for its Connected Operations™ Cloud, has announced a partnership with TMS, a leading logistics and transportation firm in Mexico, aiming to significantly improve road safety by reducing accidents and related costs by 24% within 2024.
The collaboration involves the integration of Samsara's AI Dash Cams into TMS's security program. These advanced cameras provide real-time in-cab alerts and video retrieval capabilities, which are expected to minimize mobile device usage while driving and help exonerate drivers in the event of accidents. This initiative is part of TMS's commitment to enhancing the safety of its fleet and staff, including a strategy to decrease high-risk late-night and early morning routes.
Raúl Monroy Otero, Director of TMS Mexico, emphasized the importance of the partnership for achieving the company's '24 in 24' safety goal. He stated that before the adoption of Samsara's technology, TMS lacked crucial visibility into its fleet operations. The implementation of these cameras is set to change that, providing evidence of the safety of their drivers and vehicles.
In a statement, Julia Monroy, Samsara's Sales Director for Mexico, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, highlighting the shared commitment to elevating industry standards and prioritizing the safety of drivers and operations.
TMS is also addressing the driver shortage in Mexico by actively recruiting women. Currently, women make up more than 10% of TMS's drivers, and the company is looking to increase this number through its recruitment efforts this year.
