Case Study: City of Cocoa achieves real-time fleet visibility and improved operational efficiency with Samsara

City of Cocoa - Customer Case Study

The City of Cocoa Fleet Management Division manages roughly 400 vehicles across 20 departments, supporting city services including a water distribution system serving 300,000 customers. The team lacked real-time telematics—relying on an offline GPS system that only reported data at refueling—so they needed better visibility to improve routing, safety, customer response, and emergency operations.

Cocoa deployed Samsara vehicle gateways (about 18 minutes to install per vehicle) to enable real-time GPS tracking, geofencing, driver-to-vehicle linking, scheduled reports, and dispatch tools. The solution improved hurricane damage assessment coverage, optimized routing for 200 meter-reading vehicles, sped up customer-service responses, and gave managers actionable analytics and dashboards—resulting in greater operational efficiency, safety, and fleet-wide visibility.
