Platform Adoption Accelerates Among Enterprise Clients
Within the customer base generating over $100,000 in ARR, 96% utilize a minimum of two Samsara solutions, while 72% leverage three or more products. The company reports that enterprise clients are transitioning from isolated applications to comprehensive deployments spanning multiple departments and operational areas.

Throughout the past year, customers digitized 340 million workflows and tracked 105 billion miles using Samsara. The platform also processed over 30 trillion data points, reflecting more than 40% growth compared to the previous year.
