Fremont, CA: In recent years, data analytics has emerged as a key driver of competitive advantage. Given its critical importance, it is critical for businesses to stay up to date on top trends in the data analytics space, as well as how those trends influence a variety of related technologies.

Pitstop, a leading predictive analytics company for the mobility industry, has entered into a partnership with Samsara, pioneer of the Connected Operations Cloud. This partnership is expected to allow customers to access real-time data and insights from Samsara within Pitstop's leading predictive analytics platform to decrease emissions and maintenance prices.

Pitstop's predictive analytics platform analyses sensor data and diagnostic trouble codes of specific components such as batteries, brakes, and other components across fleets of any size. It detects anomalies and predicts potential vehicle failures weeks in advance using proprietary algorithms, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. Customers will also be able to optimize for lower diesel emissions and driver habits using Pitstop's analytics dashboards, saving fleets up to $2000 per vehicle per year. The data made available to fleet managers will enable informed decision-making, allowing customers to sync with the repair center to significantly improve the efficiency of each service visit. Pitstop's solution is compatible with all vehicle types, including electric vehicles.

The power of data analyses current fleet usage and provides clear economic information and analytics to suggest which assets can be converted to battery electric vehicles (BEVs), allowing fleet managers to begin building out their EV fleets without disrupting the operational flow. Vehicles with improper engine combustion, uneven/worn tires, and dirty filters can produce up to four times the amount of emissions. Pitstop's collaboration with Samara enables fleet managers to reduce existing petrol-powered vehicle emissions by up to 28 percent. Fleet managers can also use the platform to calculate everything from downtime costs to overall ROI.

"We are very excited for this partnership and the powerful new tools coming to Samsara customers. Instead of relying on manufacturer recommendations on when to perform maintenance on their fleets, fleet managers will be able to understand exactly what every vehicle needs in real-time," remarked Shiva Bhardwaj, Founder & CEO at Pitstop. "This data will reduce maintenance costs and expand productivity for fleets of every size."
