Case Study: Van der Linden, Hillegom achieves EU compliance and major cost savings with Samsara

Van der Linden avoids thousands of Euros in fines and improves driver safety with Samsara

Van der Linden, Hillegom, a 125-year-old road transportation company, needed a better way to monitor driver hours and stay compliant with EU working-time rules. Its outdated manual processes made it difficult to track rest periods and exposed the business to costly fines, so it turned to Samsara for help with compliance and fleet monitoring.

With a tailored Samsara solution, Van der Linden automated hours calculations and real-time tachograph downloads, while managers gained remote visibility and drivers received alerts when they neared their legal limits. The result was 40 hours of manual work eliminated each year, compliance for 80 drivers, and an estimated €100,000 in fines avoided, along with improved driver safety and wellbeing.
