Company Announcements

Expansion follows sustained customer adoption and reflects long-term commitment to in-country operations, with more than 15% of the company's net new business coming from its international frontiers in Q3

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 3, 2026-- Samsara Inc. ("Samsara") (NYSE: IOT), the pioneer of the Connected Operations^® Platform, today announced a significant expansion of its Canadian operations, underscoring sustained customer momentum and a long-term, in-region commitment to data localization, domestic logistics, and local investment. The expansion comes as Samsara’s AI-powered operations platform continues to scale globally, with more than 15% of the company's net new annual contract value coming from its international markets in its third quarter—reinforcing strong market fit and sustained demand across complex, regional operating environments.

As Canadian enterprises modernize operations nationwide, they face a unique set of regional challenges, from remote connectivity in the North to strict data-residency laws to the growing need for workforce development. Samsara’s localized approach ensures these organizations can access industry-leading AI innovation that is tailored to Canadian standards.

“Our momentum in Canada is driven by a commitment to solving the specific, complex challenges our customers face every day,” said Liz Klein, Director, Samsara, Canada. “By investing in homegrown infrastructure—from local data residency to domestic logistics—we are ensuring that Canadian organizations never have to choose between regulatory compliance and cutting-edge innovation. We are building a permanent ecosystem here that allows our customers to operate with total confidence within their own borders.”

In-Country Investments Designed for Canadian Operations

Samsara’s recent expansion is anchored by a series of strategic, in-market investments designed to eliminate friction and improve operational reliability for Canadian fleets:

• Localized Data Hosting: With the recent launch of its dedicated AWS Canada data centre, Samsara enables public sector organizations, Crown corporations, and highly regulated industries to store and process data within national borders. This infrastructure supports large-scale deployments for organizations with complex regulatory requirements, including First Student, which is deploying Samsara to support AI-driven safety and telematics for approximately 46,000 vehicles across the US and Canada.
• Domestic Fulfillment & Logistics: Through a strategic partnership with Ottawa Logistics, Samsara has eliminated much of the friction of cross-border trade. Canadian customers now benefit from same-day shipping and domestic fulfillment for hardware, significantly reducing lead times and eliminating import fees.
• Integrated Asset Lifecycle Management: Through a strategic partnership with Element Fleet Management, Canadian customers can now access a unified solution for the full lifecycle of their assets. This collaboration combines Element’s fleet leadership with Samsara’s real-time data to help organizations simplify procurement, improve driver safety, and reduce the total cost of ownership.
• Resilient Connectivity: To support fleets operating in Canada’s most remote geographies, Samsara’s Satellite Connectivity provides a critical lifeline for safety and visibility where cellular networks fail.
• Advanced AI Safety Innovation: Samsara significantly expanded its AI-powered safety platform with new features designed to protect essential workers in Canada’s most challenging environments. This expansion includes:
  • Weather Intelligence: Real-time overlays integrated directly into the Samsara map to help Canadian fleets navigate severe conditions.
  • Proactive Coaching: AI-driven tools that automatically prioritize safety events, allowing managers to coach drivers more effectively and at a larger scale.
  • Worker Safety Tools: A new "One-Click SOS" feature and proactive safety check-ins to ensure the well-being of teams operating both inside and outside the vehicle.
• Investment in Future Workforce: To support the next generation of industry talent and advance professional development, Samsara has expanded its investment in Canadian scholarship and training programs:
  • Trucking HR Canada: Launched a scholarship program to celebrate the families and essential workers powering the Canadian supply chain.
  • Alberta Motor Transport Association: Partnering to sponsor advanced safety course scholarships for four safety managers pursuing specialized training in Alberta.
  • Toronto Transportation Club: Continued sponsorship of its scholarship program, awarding five scholarships annually for up to four years to students at accredited colleges, helping build a strong pipeline of future industry talent.

By pairing global scale with an in-region operational footprint, Samsara offers Canadian organizations a trusted platform built to meet local regulatory, security, and reliability requirements—backed by the financial strength to support long-term, mission-critical operations.

Customers across Canada are already seeing measurable impact from Samsara’s locally anchored approach. "Making the switch to Samsara has been a game changer,” said Marco Goodridge, Regional Maintenance Manager, Sterling Crane Canada. “We’re able to get accurate, instant data whenever we need it. The experience has been amazing for all of us."
