Integrate eDVIR Defects with Penske Maintenance Platform

Penske customers can integrate Samsara eDVIR defect reporting with the Penske Maintenance Platform.

Note

This integration is owned and managed by Assured Telematics (ATI), a third-party System Integrator on the Samsara Experts Marketplace. There is a monthly fee for this integration.

This integration enables the following:

• Ability to report defects submitted through Samsara DVIRs to Penske

• Ability to resolve those defects by Penske Maintenance team and resolved status to filter back to Samsara

Note

When defects on an Unsafe DVIR are deemed not necessary to be resolved by Penske, you will need to acknowledge and resolve those defects within the Samsara dashboard before the vehicle can be operated to comply with FMCSA regulations (section 396.12c).

For more information on how to resolve defects and DVIRs, see Resolve an Unsafe DVIR (for Mechanics).

Requirements

• Penske: There are no specific version requirements for the Penske system

• ATI: License agreement

• Samsara: Samsara API token with read and write scopes
