Market Perspectives

The annual Ventana Research Digital Innovation Awards showcase advances in the productivity and potential of business applications, as well as technology that contributes significantly to the improved processes and performance of an organization. Our goal is to recognize technology and vendors that have introduced noteworthy digital innovations to advance business and IT.

Ventana Research has awarded Samsara Connected Operations Cloud its prestigious 2023 Operations and Supply Chain Digital Innovation Award. This award is given to the vendor that best exemplifies innovation and change in the supply chain in support of an organization’s ability to maximize its people, processes, information and technology. All finalists in the area of Operations and Supply Chain were considered for this award.

Ventana Research’s Operations and Supply Chain practice focuses on innovative digital technology that organizations can use to improve their performance through better alignment of supply and customer demand as well as more effective management of the flow of products and services. The effective application and use of analytics, collaboration, machine learning, planning and Internet of Things (IoT) can increase the agility of the supply chain across sourcing, manufacturing, distribution and logistics to ensure full value is realized from the inventory of products.

Samsara defines its mission as increasing the safety, efficiency and sustainability of business operations. To that end, it offers its Connected Operations Cloud, a system of record-enabling businesses that harness IoT to collect data related to their physical assets and develop actionable business insights and improve their performance using that data.

Ventana Research selected Samsara for the 16th Annual Operations and Supply Chain Digital Innovation Award for its ability to support organizations in a broad array of industries by ending their reliance on siloed manual processes and legacy systems. Without connected digital tools, businesses with physical operations struggle to access useful and actionable real-time data, making it nearly impossible to achieve complete operational visibility or drive meaningful improvements in productivity. Samsara unifies operations across maintenance, utilization, safety and locations through use of ingesting, aggregating and enriching around IoT data that can be processed using artificial intelligence and machine learning, workflows and analytics, alerts, developer APIs with privacy and security. Samsara then layers in a suite of applications for video-based safety, vehicle telematics, equipment monitoring and site visibility.

Organizations that are looking for ways to disrupt their business — or avoid being disrupted — or that simply need to find ways to operate more efficiently across manufacturing and the supply chain in a newly demanding economic environment should examine how Samsara and Connected Operation Cloud can help your organization. Congratulations, Samsara, for your continued innovation.
