Samsara is a large connected-operations platform built on its own GPS and camera hardware, strong on telematics and driver safety at scale. Torgix is software-only Equipment Intelligence for equipment-intensive companies, with maintenance, true cost, and rental built in. Here is an honest, side-by-side look.
Why teams switch
Samsara is built around telematics hardware and safety. Torgix is built around equipment and true cost — no hardware to buy, no multi-year contract, and it works alongside the telematics you already run.

Samsara is a large, public connected-operations company. Its strength is native telematics and camera hardware and driver-safety programs for mid-to-large fleets, and it has recently added maintenance features. It is typically sold through a custom quote with hardware and a multi-year commitment.
Torgix is software-only Equipment Intelligence for equipment-intensive companies. It is not a telematics vendor and does not sell hardware; instead it focuses on maintenance, a true cost of ownership per asset, built-in parts ordering, and equipment rental, with fleet-size pricing you can start in an afternoon and connect to the telematics you already use.

Which fits you
If your priority is native GPS and camera hardware, real-time telematics, and driver-safety programs across a mid-to-large fleet, and you are comfortable with a hardware rollout and a multi-year contract, Samsara is purpose-built for that scale.
If your business is equipment-intensive and you want maintenance, a true cost of ownership per asset, built-in parts ordering, and equipment rental in one system, priced by fleet size, with no hardware to buy, Torgix is built for exactly that, and it works alongside the telematics you already run. It also serves construction, marine, environmental services, and aviation in one platform.
Common questions
Before you decide
Software changes what your maintenance costs. It does not change what your machines cost you to own and run today, and that is the number this decision should start from. Work yours out in a couple of minutes, free and with no sign up.
