The fleet needs one dispatch view without forcing every vehicle through an immediate hardware swap.
Dispatch continuity protects daily service, while inconsistent vehicle identities and location timing can make one map misleading.
Who you’d be doing this for
“My dispatchers keep asking which map is right, and I don’t have a clean answer.”

Runs dispatch for a commercial fleet replacing GPS hardware in phases.
What is at stake
Dispatchers are maintaining two maps because pilot vehicles and legacy vehicles report in different places. You must weigh a fast shared view against whether its vehicle identities and freshness are trustworthy enough to run dispatch.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- dispatch continuity vs. identity accuracy
- phased migration vs. one-time cutover
- fast pilot value vs. maintainable integration
- shared visibility vs. source transparency
Why Samsara
Samsara API and Samsara Open API make a staged path possible for fleets that cannot replace GPS hardware all at once.
