Integrate with Milsoft Utility Solutions

Sync Samsara vehicle locations with Milsoft’s outage management system to optimize vehicle dispatch to an outage location.

With this integration, you can display your vehicle GPS in the Milsoft Outage Management System (OMS) so that managers can appropriately dispatch a vehicle to an outage location.

Enable this integration using either of the following third-party System Integrators on the Samsara Expert Marketplace:

• Milsoft Integration by SwingDev

• Milsoft Integration by XDS
