Introduction:
Kestrel Insights introduces automated polygons directly to the Samsara dashboard. What does this entail? It means that Kestrel Insights is bringing automated polygon geofencing where you need it the most — directly to your telematics platform. Simply upload a location or address to your Samsara account, and Kestrel updates the geofence boundaries via an open API.
With this new integration, Kestrel Insights seamlessly delivers a turnkey integration to all Samsara end users. This integration not only underscores our commitment to technological advancement but also highlights our dedication to providing solutions that resonate with the evolving needs of freight and fleet users within the supply chain.

Never again rely on the inaccuracies of circular geofencing, and say “goodbye” to the time-consuming task of manually drawing polygons.
Here’s a quick video that demonstrates how our geofencing solutions work inside Samsara in real-time 👇
Where Samsara customers find the most value and ROI:
- Offset manual effort -> The ROI on this is simple: Stop paying a fully burdened employee to draw geofences! The economies of scale just don’t make sense.
- Increase accuracy -> No more false arrivals or departures. Build backend data that you can trust, and unlock the ability to make strategic business decisions.
- Maximize your SaaS ROI -> It’s no secret that ELD and telematic platforms cost a pretty penny. The old saying “outputs are only as good as your inputs” rings truer than ever in the world of telematics. Let us show you how!
- Enjoy robust coverage -> The power of automation means KI can easily support hundreds of thousands of location requests, providing precise polygons that would take years to draw manually. Don’t worry, KI also offers pricing plans that make sense for smaller customers as well.
FAQs
I already have a telematics solution, are you replacing them?
Not at all. We’ve built integrations to leading telematics platforms like Samsara so that you can access our automated polygon geofences within your existing tech stack. Your team gets to continue with business as usual — but with access to the many benefits of advanced geofencing.
What if I want to continue leveraging circles for some use cases?
Not a problem. By leveraging “tags” we’re able to discern between geofences that need to be processed by our system and others that should remain circular.
What if I don’t have an address or lat/long?
No worries, Kestrel has the ability to source net new locations. Some examples include “Every Loves Travel Stop in Wyoming” and “Home Depot DCs in the Western United States.” The possibilities are endless!
Why should I invest in polygons?
Without a polygon geofencing strategy in place, you leave yourself and your company vulnerable to a gamut of problems: false arrivals, dirty backend data, and triggers/workflows that you can’t trust, just to name a few.
I’m too small of a company.
That’s not the case. Kestrel offers flexible pricing plans for companies of all sizes, not to mention everyone can benefit from the capabilities of polygon geofences, big or small! Why now? There’s no better time than NOW. The longer you wait, the more time you’ll lose in forming a foundation that will become a pillar of your fleet and freight operations.
How easy is it? – Turnkey, Just install the app from the Samsara App Store.
