Integration · Samsara

Your Samsara data,
working in your planning.

Connect your Samsara account and Transitour links your vehicles and drivers, draws the real GPS route on every booking, shows parked and idling coaches on the live map, and feeds the driving time your tachographs recorded into the hours check.

Why it matters

Your telematics already know where the coaches are. Your planning should too.

Samsara sees the vehicle; Transitour knows the job. Joined up, the dispatcher sees where a coach really is, the booking keeps the route really driven, and crewing counts the hours the tachograph really recorded.

What you get
01

Connect in minutes

Paste a Samsara API token under Settings › Integrations and choose the US or EU region. The token is stored encrypted and used read-only.

02

Vehicles and drivers matched

Transitour suggests matches by plate or VIN and by tachograph card number. Check them and confirm with “Link all”.

03

The real route on every booking

While connected, the GPS trace recorded by the vehicle replaces the phone's trace on each booking.

04

Parked and idling coaches on the map

Engine on or off, parked at the depot or idling outside the hotel — shown alongside the trips in progress.

05

Tachograph hours in crewing

Driving time recorded by the tachograph replaces planned hours in the daily and weekly caps, for manual assignments and auto-planning alike.

06

Odometer readings

Odometer readings come straight from the vehicle, with no one copying them off the dashboard.

Questions

Straight answers.

01

What does Transitour read from Samsara?

Vehicle locations and GPS traces, engine state, odometer readings and tachograph driver activity. It does not import US hours-of-service logs, geofences, fault codes, fuel reports, dashcam footage or inspection reports.

02

Does Transitour write anything back to Samsara?

No. The connection is read-only.

03

Do we still need the driver app?

Yes — the app is how drivers receive jobs, start and end trips and log extras. With Samsara connected, the vehicle's own GPS is used for the route instead of the phone's.

04

We use a different telematics provider.

Samsara is our first telematics integration, and each company connects one provider. Tell us which system you run — it shapes what we connect next.
