SAN FRANCISCO - Samsara Inc. (NYSE:IOT), a technology company with a market capitalization of $21.55 billion, has secured Software Licensing Program contracts with the State of California, the company announced Tuesday.

Ricky Williams, Fleet Maintenance Manager at Contra Costa County, said the platform provides visibility through a single dashboard, from driver safety with AI Dash Cams to asset tracking, enabling "smarter, data-driven decisions that better serve our community."

The company’s technology also offers automated emissions reporting for California’s Air Resources Board’s Clean Truck Check and the Bureau of Automotive Repair Continuous Testing Program pilot, which helps agencies meet state regulations.

Alison Kerstetter, Fleet Manager at City of Sacramento Public Works, noted that Samsara’s compliance management tools eliminate the need for manual testing, allowing staff to "focus on priority repairs and preventative maintenance."

Sean McCann, AVP Public Sector at Samsara, called the contracts "a crucial step in empowering state and local California agencies to modernize their operations."
