Samsara Inc. ("Samsara") (NYSE: IOT), the pioneer of the
Connected Operations™ Cloud, today announced the opening of its new
office in Mexico City. Samsara first entered the Mexican market in
2019 and has grown quickly: five of the top 10 trucking companies
in Mexico are now Samsara customers. To meet this increasing
demand, Samsara expects to double the number of employees in Mexico
this year, investing in business technology, operations, sales, and
support roles.
“Our customers in Mexico are leading the way in transforming
physical operations across the region,” said Sanjit Biswas,
Samsara’s CEO and Co-Founder. “Together, we have a shared focus on
enhancing security and keeping drivers safe on the road. Our rapid
growth in Mexico shows the strong ROI we provide to our customers.
Samsara’s new office will provide a space for in-person
collaboration for our growing team as we continue to invest in new
product innovations specific to the needs of the Mexico
market.”
Samsara’s rapid growth in Mexico has been driven by a culture of
innovation and customer focus. Samsara’s multi-application platform
is built to solve the most challenging and complex problems faced
by physical operations organizations. And the company’s rapidly
growing IoT data set and growing ecosystem of third-party systems
puts it at the center in enabling AI-driven insights.
In the past year, Samsara has released new features specifically
tailored to the Mexico market, including:
- Immobilizer: stops vehicles automatically when tampering is
detected, keeping both drivers and cargo safe.
- Driver QR Codes: pair drivers with their vehicles through QR
codes leading to a better driver experience.
- AG52 Asset Gateway: can be connected with cargo and door
sensors to provide real-time alerts on door activities and the
presence of cargo, improving theft detection and prevention.
“For Pilot, Samsara has been an important pillar in our
development,” said Gerardo Jiménez, General Director of
Autotransportes Pilot. “I think that all transportation companies
that want to evolve, modernize, and receive information about what
is happening in their operations should use Samsara. It gives you
the information you need to make those critical decisions."
Trends in nearshoring and friendshoring have accelerated the
trade partnership between Mexico and the U.S. Mexico was the top
trading partner for the U.S. in January 2024, and 2023 was the
first year in two decades that the U.S. bought more goods from
Mexico than China.
“Mexico is a critical component in North America’s supply chain
ecosystem,” said Julia Monroy, Samsara Sales Director for Mexico.
“And with that comes a rapid increase in demand for technology
solutions that address local challenges and can scale across
borders. Samsara is uniquely positioned to help customers meet the
specific needs of Mexico, while enabling their compliance with
applicable requirements when crossing into the U.S.”
The opening ceremony for Samsara’s new office took place in
Mexico City and was followed by a panel discussion between David
Roman (President of the National Association of Vehicle Tracking
and Protection Companies, ANERPV, of Mexico), Sanjit Biswas (CEO
and Co-Founder of Samsara), Ángel Hernández (Adjunct General
Director at Super Transporte Internacional), and Augusto Ramos
(General Director at RAME Group) on the trends and technologies
shaping logistics in Mexico.
“Today is a great celebration of our partnership with our
customers, and we are looking forward to achieving even more
together in the years to come,” remarked Biswas at the opening,
speaking to the customers in attendance. Some of the new customers
who joined Samsara in the past year include TMS, Grupo Vencedor,
and GNP.
