About The Customer
SeniorCare EMS is New York City's largest commercial ambulance provider, operating since April 2005. Starting with just a handful of employees and three ambulances, the company has grown to over 1,300 employees and a fleet of 200 vehicles. They provide hundreds of emergency and non-emergency medical transports daily. SeniorCare EMS is committed to ensuring the safety of their drivers, who are primarily EMTs and healthcare professionals, and to providing timely and efficient medical transport services. The company has a strong focus on reducing risky driving behaviors and improving overall fleet management to enhance service delivery and client satisfaction.
The Challenge
Before implementing Samsara, SeniorCare EMS faced significant challenges in monitoring and improving driver safety. They had separate vendors for dash cams, GPS tracking, and wireless data, which made it difficult to consolidate and manage data effectively. The existing dash cams couldn't remotely upload footage, making it nearly impossible to monitor driver behavior in real-time. Additionally, the GPS tracking system provided location data at intervals of 30 seconds to a minute, which was insufficient for emergency response times. The company needed a more integrated and real-time solution to ensure driver safety, reduce risky driving behaviors, and improve operational efficiency.
The Solution
SeniorCare EMS chose Samsara's comprehensive solution to address their challenges. They implemented Samsara's dual-facing AI dash cams, which use advanced AI to analyze the road and cab for high-risk behaviors and offer in-cab alerts for distracted driving and tailgating. The dash cams automatically upload incident footage to the Samsara dashboard, allowing the safety team to identify problem areas and coach drivers effectively. Additionally, Samsara's real-time GPS data, integrated via an open API, provides precise vehicle locations, enabling faster and more accurate dispatching of emergency vehicles. The system also includes real-time diagnostics and customizable alerts to minimize vehicle downtime and ensure readiness for emergency calls. This integrated approach has significantly improved driver safety, operational efficiency, and client satisfaction for SeniorCare EMS.
Operational Impact
  • The implementation of Samsara's AI dash cams has led to a noticeable reduction in risky driving behaviors such as distracted driving, speeding, and tailgating. The safety team can now monitor and coach drivers more effectively, leading to improved driving habits.
  • The real-time GPS data provided by Samsara has enhanced the efficiency of emergency vehicle dispatching. The system allows for precise tracking of vehicle locations, ensuring that the closest unit is dispatched to an emergency, potentially saving lives.
  • Samsara's real-time diagnostics and customizable alerts have minimized vehicle downtime. The fleet manager receives alerts for low battery voltage and fault codes, allowing for timely maintenance and ensuring that vehicles are always ready for emergency calls.
  • The integration of Samsara's system has streamlined operations by consolidating multiple vendors into one. This has simplified data management and improved overall operational efficiency for SeniorCare EMS.
  • Client satisfaction has improved due to the ability to provide live ETAs and detailed trip histories. Hospitals and other clients can track vehicles in real-time and receive accurate information about on-time performance, enhancing trust and reliability.
Quantitative Benefit
  • SeniorCare EMS has grown to over 1,300 employees and a fleet of 200 vehicles since its inception.
  • The company provides hundreds of emergency and non-emergency medical transports daily.
  • The real-time GPS data integration has reduced location data intervals from 30 seconds to real-time, significantly improving emergency response times.
