Safety and operational efficiency have become two of the main pillars for sustaining the operation of road transport, particularly in environments where road risks and pressure for productivity coexist every day.
In that context, Grupo Aralo reported improvements in its operating indicators after adopting Samsara technology , with results in both safety and fleet performance, the companies said in a statement .
According to the company, one of the most significant changes was observed in its safety metrics. Aralo in Mexico increased its internal score by 164% , rising from 36 to 95, reflecting improvements in driving habits, operational compliance, and proactive risk management.
At the operational level, the reduction in risky behaviors was also significant. The company recorded a 60% decrease in distracted driving per hour , as well as a similar decrease in cell phone use per kilometer traveled, resulting from continuous fleet monitoring.
These advancements come at a time when operations face constant challenges such as operator fatigue, traffic, adverse weather conditions, and congestion in industrial areas. Furthermore, the company was looking to reduce indirect costs associated with incidents, such as cranes, downtime, and claims, explained Natalia Navarrete, Safety Manager for Operations in the United States at Grupo Aralo.
To address these challenges, Grupo Aralo implemented advanced telemetry solutions and dashboard cameras with artificial intelligence , first in its US operations and later in Mexico. This infrastructure enabled the identification of risky behaviors and strengthened preventative training programs based on real data.
Beyond security, digitalization also had an impact on operational efficiency. Between 2024 and 2025, trips in Mexico grew by more than 43% and kilometers traveled by 51%, while in the United States, increases of 44% in miles and more than 50% in trips were recorded, according to José Manuel Martínez, Risk Management Manager.
Overall, the company reported an increase of more than 50% in completed trips in Mexico and the United States in one year, suggesting greater utilization of the fleet without compromising safety.
From the perspective of the technology provider, real-time visibility and data analysis have become key elements for decision-making in logistics operations, noted Julia Monroy, vice president of sales at Samsara Mexico.
With these results, Grupo Aralo aims to consolidate a data-driven operating model, where risk prevention and operational efficiency are managed in an integrated manner.
