The transportation and logistics industry is under increasing pressure to do more with less.
As freight demand grows and supply chains become more complex, fleet managers must contend with persistent labor shortages, rising operational costs and escalating cybersecurity concerns. From 2024 to 2025, US and Canadian transportation companies experienced a 60% increase in cargo theft losses due in part to cyberattacks.
These challenges are only expected to intensify in the coming years. According to the CDC, the trucking industry is projected to face a driver shortage of 160,000 workers by 2030.
To remain resilient in this environment, transportation organizations are increasingly turning to connected mobile technologies that help streamline operations, maximize workforce productivity and improve visibility across the fleet.
Samsung fleet management solutions address these challenges by bringing mobile devices, telematics systems and operational workflows together into a connected mobile ecosystem. From gate operations and route management to over-the-road delivery and field service workflows, Samsung enables real-time visibility across dispatch, maintenance and field service — helping fleet managers minimize delays, reduce dwell time, accelerate dispatch and improve throughput from yard to field.
Accelerate workforce productivity and reduce turnover
Driver staffing is one of the most significant challenges facing transportation companies today. Nearly three-quarters (69%) of logistics professionals report that driver shortages are already affecting their ability to meet freight demand, while 63% say recruiting and retaining drivers has stagnated or worsened over the past year. Mobile devices play an increasingly important role in helping fleet managers onboard, support and retain workers while ensuring day-to-day operations run efficiently.
For example, Samsung fleet management solutions reduce new hire ramp-up time by delivering onboarding and training directly to workers through connected smartphones and tablets. Drivers and field personnel can access digital training materials, standard operating procedures and company communications from a single device, helping them become productive more quickly and reducing reliance on paper-based processes.
Once workers are in the field, Samsung devices help streamline routine tasks through digitized workflows. Vehicle inspections, load assignments and shift handoffs can all be completed electronically, giving managers real-time visibility into operational status while minimizing communication gaps between teams. Samsung’s rugged mobile devices also support worker safety throughout the workday with real-time navigation, field communications and device-based alerts, enabling faster responses to changing conditions, route adjustments and potential safety concerns.1,2
Together, these connected mobile capabilities empower transportation organizations to dispatch crews and assets faster, improve workforce efficiency and create a more productive employee experience that supports long-term retention.
Maximize uptime and utilization with real-time insights
Fleet performance depends on visibility. Without timely access to operational data, transportation organizations can struggle to identify bottlenecks, coordinate resources and respond quickly to disruptions. Samsung fleet management solutions connect mobile devices, telematics systems and operational data into a single unified ecosystem that provides real-time visibility across fleet, yard and field operations.
Fleet managers can leverage GPS, IoT and telematics visibility to monitor vehicle locations, asset status and workforce activity from virtually anywhere.3 Live operational dashboards delivered through Samsung smartphones and tablets provide instant access to critical metrics, enabling teams to make faster, data-driven decisions and proactively address issues before they impact service levels.
This connected visibility also helps optimize routing, dispatching and handoffs between teams. By giving drivers, dispatchers and field personnel access to the same real-time information, organizations can reduce delays, improve coordination and keep assets moving efficiently throughout the day.
To further minimize downtime, Samsung devices support AI-powered analytics, predictive maintenance and digital Driver Vehicle Inspection Report (DVIR) workflows that help identify potential vehicle issues before they lead to costly breakdowns.4 Maintenance teams can receive alerts, review diagnostic information and schedule service proactively, maximizing vehicle availability and extending asset lifecycles.
Samsung fleet management solutions also streamline critical compliance and delivery processes through digital workflows for electronic logging devices (ELDs), inspections and proof of delivery.
Secure and simplify fleet operations
Transportation companies rely on a growing number of technologies to keep operations moving, but managing disconnected systems can create unnecessary complexity for drivers, dispatchers and fleet managers. Samsung fleet management solutions simplify operations by unifying telematics, ELD systems, proof of delivery workflows and fleet management applications on a single mobile device.
Samsung’s open ecosystem also enables transportation companies to integrate with leading fleet management platforms and industry partners, creating a connected environment for end-to-end operational visibility and management. Teams can access the tools and data they need from a single mobile endpoint while maintaining seamless communication across dispatch, maintenance, compliance and field operations.
Additionally, every Galaxy mobile device is protected by Samsung Knox — a defense-grade security platform built into the device from the chipset up.5 Knox Suite enables IT teams to remotely deploy, configure, manage and secure devices across fleets and field teams at scale, reducing administrative burden while ensuring workers remain connected and productive. In addition, Knox Capture supports multi-scanning for simplified inventory management.5
With advanced security protections, remote management capabilities and continuous device monitoring, Samsung Knox and Knox Suite help reduce cyber risk, prevent unauthorized access and minimize operational disruptions that can impact fleet performance.
Keep fleets productive, coordinated and always moving forward
As transportation organizations navigate ongoing labor shortages, rising operational complexity and growing customer expectations, connected mobile technology has become essential to maintaining resilient fleet operations. Fleet managers need solutions that not only help workers stay productive, but also provide the visibility, intelligence and security required to keep assets moving efficiently across the supply chain.
Samsung fleet management solutions bring together mobile devices, telematics systems and operational workflows into a connected ecosystem that supports every stage of the fleet lifecycle — from onboarding and dispatch to maintenance, compliance and proof of delivery. By equipping drivers, dispatchers and field teams with real-time information and mobile-first workflows, organizations can reduce delays, improve asset utilization and make faster, more informed decisions.
Whether optimizing workforce productivity, maximizing vehicle uptime or simplifying fleet management through a secure mobile platform, Samsung helps transportation companies build connected fleets that are productive, coordinated and ready to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving industry.
