Rubicon Technologies, Inc., a leading digital marketplace for waste and recycling and provider of innovative software-based products for businesses and governments worldwide, announced it has entered a technology partnership with Samsara Inc. to unlock new value for shared municipal customers.
Together, Rubicon and Samsara’s complementary technology suites will help enable heavy-duty municipal fleet operations to optimize routes and citizen services. This solution will improve efficiency, empower drivers, lock in community safety gains, and save tax-payer dollars.
Samsara pioneered the Connected Operations Cloud, built to access, analyze, and act on the world’s vast expanse of operations data. Thousands of customers spanning transportation, government, food and beverage, and more use mission-critical insights from Samsara to shape their operations. Samsara’s open API provides customers with streamlined data sharing to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and maintain operational resilience.
RUBICONSmartCity™ is a proprietary, cloud-based technology suite that helps municipal governments run faster, smarter, and more effective waste, recycling, and heavy-duty municipal fleet operations. As part of this partnership, RUBICONSmartCity is now available on the Samsara App Marketplace to further improve efficiency and sustainability in government fleets. Shared municipal customers will have access to fault code, speeding, fuel level, and GPS data. They’ll also have access to complete visibility into vehicle diagnostics information and full operational data across the platforms. As a result, fleets will experience increased safety and transparency.
Conor Riffle, senior vice president of smart cities at Rubicon says the company’s mission is to end waste. He says the mission refers to physical waste as well as wasted time and wasted government resources. This partnership allows Rubicon and Samsara to deliver solutions for city waste departments while saving tax-payer dollars, he says.
