Allianz UK partners with Samsara to offer fleet risk management tech

LONDON - Allianz UK and Samsara Inc. (NYSE:IOT) have formed a strategic partnership to provide UK commercial fleet operators with preferred access to AI-powered risk management technology, according to a press release statement. Samsara, with a market capitalization of $22.56 billion, has demonstrated strong revenue growth of 30.32% over the last twelve months, according to InvestingPro data.

The collaboration allows Allianz UK’s Motor Fleet policyholders to receive exclusive discounts on Samsara’s dual-facing dash cams and connected operations platform through a referral program.

Gerry Ross, Head of Motor Fleet at Allianz UK, said the partnership addresses "the growing need for advanced risk management solutions" for policyholders by leveraging AI technology to help customers "proactively identify and positively impact their fleet risk."

The technology enables fleet managers to improve safety through AI-powered incident detection and real-time coaching, optimize routes for better fuel efficiency, and track emissions to support sustainability goals.

Vp Brandon Hire Station, a joint customer, reported a 40% reduction in accident-related costs after implementing the Samsara platform. Antony Draper, Director of HSEQ at the company, noted this has "directly and positively impacted our bottom line" while reducing insurance costs.

To support the initiative, both companies are conducting regional enablement sessions across the UK to ensure teams can effectively communicate the value of Samsara’s offerings to potential customers.

Samsara, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange, provides connected operations technology to thousands of customers across North America and Europe in industries including transportation, construction, manufacturing, and government services. While currently not profitable over the last twelve months, analysts predict the company will be profitable this year.
