SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan 21, 2026--

Samsara Inc. ("Samsara") (NYSE: IOT), the pioneer of the Connected Operations ® Platform, announced that the Food and Beverage (F&B) industry is standardizing on its platform. From large producers and distributors to local grocery markets, Samsara helps F&B leaders improve operations with real-time insights and provide a best-in-class customer experience.

“Samsara stands out as both a company and a platform due to its flexibility and willingness to collaborate,” said Mickey Horton, Senior Director of EHS at Golden State Foods. “When we approach the team with a need or idea, the response is never ‘no.’ It's always, ‘Let's explore this.’ Samsara is a true partner in innovation.”

How Does Samsara Improve F&B Operations?

Samsara equips F&B leaders with real-time visibility and AI-powered insights to deliver every order safely, efficiently, and compliantly. F&B customers use Samsara’s products, including Fleet Telematics, AI Dash Cams, Asset Tracking, and Workflows to operate confidently and improve in four critical areas:

• On-road safety: Protect drivers and brand reputation with AI-powered safety that prevents risk early, reduces incidents, and lowers costs
• Cold chain compliance: Deliver the quality customers expect with real-time temperature visibility to maintain cold chain compliance, prevent spoilage, and ensure every delivery arrives fresh
• Operational efficiency: Protect margins with real-time fleet insights that help reduce fuel and labor costs, improve on-time performance, and uncover capacity
• Driver-first support: Create a culture where drivers feel valued and supported with AI-powered feedback and recognition that builds safer habits and stronger retention

Why is Samsara the Trusted Platform for F&B?

Samsara’s platform is proven to deliver clear and fast ROI across safety, efficiency, and sustainability. It has become the standard for many of the industry’s most prominent organizations, including Archer Daniels Midland, Bolthouse Farms, Cash-Wa Distributing, Delifresh, Glazer’s Beer & Beverage, KeHE, Polar Beverages, Quality Custom Distribution (a subsidiary of Golden State Foods), Sobeys, and Tillamook.

"In the food and beverage business, there is little room for error. If a reefer fails or an accident happens, it can directly impact a company’s reputation and their margins," said Robert Stobaugh, Chief Operating Officer, GTM, at Samsara. "Our platform provides the AI insights and visibility needed to address the industry's biggest challenges. We’re proud to work with the leaders that keep our shelves stocked, helping them catch risks early and run more efficient, safer operations."
