The 2025 Comparison of Fleet Management Technology Providers represents one of the industry’s most intensive reviews of technology provider sentiment and real-world experience. The survey, commissioned by Samsara, gathered insights from 521 qualified U.S. commercial fleet professionals, all of whom hold decision-making roles with significant impact on safety, efficiency, and operational performance. A large majority (68%) of respondents oversee fleets with more than 50 commercial vehicles, and over one-fifth (22%) manage fleets exceeding 500 vehicles—underscoring a strong representation of large-scale operators in the sample.

With more than 70% of consumer goods delivered by truck, fleet managers are rapidly adopting new technology to meet urgent business challenges. Providers that combine best-in-class support with real operational impact—like Samsara—are winning the trust and loyalty of fleet professionals nationwide. The survey underscores that what matters most for decision-makers is support and service, coupled with a strong track record of innovations that deliver safety, savings, and measurable value.

“Samsara isn’t just a platform—it’s a trusted partner,” said Meagen Eisenberg, Chief Marketing Officer at Samsara. “Our customers demand reliability, advanced insights, and user-friendly technology that delivers real savings and smarter operations. Most importantly, Samsara is dedicated to bringing every frontline worker home safely. We’re proud to set the industry standard for support, service, and innovation in a sector that keeps the world moving.”

Key findings include:

• When evaluating technology providers, fleet managers overwhelmingly prioritize support and customer service:
  • 85% of respondents rated this “extremely or very important”, making it the single most crucial factor in their purchasing decisions

• Decision-makers place strong emphasis (rated “extremely” or “very important”) on a range of AI and technology features:

  • Driver app quality and ease: nearly 80%

  • Predictive maintenance capabilities: 65%

“Our research shows that within a crowded market of technology providers, not all deliver the same level of quality,” says Paul Mattioli, EVP of Endeavor Business Intelligence. “Choosing the right platform is a long-term strategic decision that will determine whether businesses get the outcomes they need. This study makes clear that fleet leaders need technology that works reliably every day, provides clear insights, and improves both safety and efficiency in measurable ways.”
