Samsara is a leading telematics system and fleet management platform that specializes in vehicle tracking, driver safety monitoring, and automated maintenance.
But it can be MUCH more than that.
Using Samsara route optimization integration with eLogii can give you access to a purpose-built optimization engine that’s ideal for complex field service operations.
These two solutions can help you to unlock next-level field service efficiency. And in this guide, we’ll show you exactly how you can do it.
Specifically:
So if you’re a Samsara user, solutions engineer, or Samsara representative, you’re going to enjoy this guide.
Let’s start.
DISCLAIMER: eLogii is an independent software platform listed in the Samsara App Marketplace. This article was produced by eLogii and is notaffiliated with or endorsed by Samsara Inc.

eLogii, listed in the Samsara App Marketplace, is a leading enterprise-grade route optimization and dynamic scheduling solution.
The two platforms work extremely well in combination for larger (50+ field service workers) operations, creating measurable ROI across sectors from public services such as waste management to private-sector verticals including pest control, electrical test and inspection, debt collection, and other mobile-workforce activities.
The Bottom Line: Samsara's telematics platform is unmatched. eLogii's optimization engine is purpose-built for complex field service. Used in combination, the solutions solve problems neither can handle alone - and organizations running could see 20-35% efficiency improvements.
Let's be clear: Samsara has revolutionized fleet operations. The platform delivers:
Field service operations face challenges that go beyond basic routing:
eLogii was designed specifically to solve the hardest routing and scheduling challenges. So when you use it for Samsara route optimization integration you can expect to gain:
You're Managing 20+ Daily Routes: When you're dispatching dozens of technicians across large territories, mathematical optimization typically delivers 15-25% reduction in drive time. That's massive at scale.
Your Scheduling Has Complexity Different: technician skills, customer time windows, recurring services alongside one-time requests, or priority-based scheduling—these make manual routing impossible at scale.
You Plan Beyond Today: If you need to optimize the week ahead, automatically group flexible-date appointments, or balance workloads across time periods, you need more than day-by-day routing.
Your Service Mix Is Complex Multiple: container types in waste management, emergency vs. scheduled maintenance in utilities, treatment-specific routing in pest control—when "what" you're servicing dictates "who" can do it and "how" it sequences.
You Need Heavy Automation Automated: task creation, rule-based exception handling, CRM/ERP/CSR integration, or complex notification workflows.
Customer Experience Matters: If your competitive edge depends on superior communication, self-service rescheduling, accurate ETAs, or white-labeled tracking, eLogii's customer-facing capabilities become strategic.
Samsara Provides the Foundation:
eLogii Adds Optimization and Management:
They Sync Seamlessly:
Here's where the integration becomes powerful:
Waste Collection: Container lift sensor activates within the geofence of a scheduled stop → task automatically marked complete in eLogii
Utility Service: Vehicle dwells at location for expected duration + tool usage detected → service task auto-completes
Proof of Service: Sensor validation eliminates false positives and creates audit trails proving service was actually performed
No manual confirmation needed. No missed collection disputes. Complete automation from optimization through verification.
The Situation: 30 collection vehicles, multiple container types, specific disposal requirements, routes must balance workload fairly.
The need: automatically optimize which driver services which customers based on container types, balance routes considering disposal trips, or re-optimizing everything when a truck breaks down.
The Solution:
Results: 22% fewer miles driven, 35% fewer missed collections, 15 hours/week saved on manual planning, significantly higher citizen satisfaction.
The Situation: 100+ technicians, different certification levels, emergency calls mixed with scheduled maintenance, must optimize across a week while maximizing emergency response.
The Challenge: Standard routing used by the customer can't match certifications to jobs, balance emergencies with scheduled work, optimize across multi-day horizons, or auto-escalate overdue tasks approaching SLA deadlines.
The Solution:
Results: 28% more scheduled work completed, emergency response from 85 to 52 minutes, SLA compliance from 89% to 97%, 40% fewer customer service calls.
The Situation: 200+ technicians across 15 markets, different treatment types requiring different skills/equipment, mix of residential and commercial with varying time requirements.
The Complexity: Group appointments by service type, auto-generate follow-ups 30 days after initial treatment, respect territories but allow intelligent overflow, remember customer preferences, maximize route density.
The Solution:
Results: 19% more services per technician per day, 31% less drive time, 95% customer satisfaction (up from 87%), ROI in 4 months.
You already know Samsara delivers the industry's best telematics, safety, and fleet management. When prospects operate complex field service operations- particularly waste management, utilities, or field service- they could gain value from eLogii’s powerful, configurable optimization layer in addition.
Expand Deal Sizes: Propose best-of-breed where Samsara handles telematics/safety/fleet and eLogii handles advanced optimization. Often results in larger combined deals than either platform alone.
Win Against All-in-One Competitors: Counter vendors claiming to do "everything" with the reality that specialized platforms excel at specific functions and integrate seamlessly. Samsara + eLogii delivers better outcomes than jack-of-all-trades platforms.
Protect Existing Accounts: Customers frustrated with manual routing or considering competitive solutions? Introducing eLogii keeps them in the Samsara ecosystem while solving their scheduling challenges.
Accelerate Sales Cycles: Field service prospects stall because they can't find one platform doing world-class telematics AND sophisticated optimization. Partner with eLogii early and eliminate this objection.
Enhance Your Advisory Value: Recommending the right complementary solutions makes you more valuable. Confidently recommend eLogii for routing while reinforcing Samsara's strengths.
