Case Study: Grand Isle Shipyard recovers $100,000 in stolen assets with Samsara Asset Tags

Grand Isle Shipyard reduces at-fault accidents by 50%

Grand Isle Shipyard, which manages high-value oil production equipment and had been relying on spreadsheets for inventory and preservation tracking, needed a better way to document asset maintenance, improve visibility, and prevent losses. With Samsara and its Asset Tags, the company sought a more reliable system for tracking valves, spools, and other critical equipment across repair, storage, and customer locations.

Samsara implemented Asset Tags, custom forms, alerts, geofences, and location features like Find Nearby to create real-time traceability and a stronger chain of custody. The result was improved accountability and a major reduction in manual reporting, plus the recovery of more than $100,000 in stolen equipment in just three hours. Grand Isle Shipyard also deployed the solution on $10 million worth of critical assets, helping reduce liability and protect equipment more effectively.
