## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-30 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> "Fleet management" splits into two different products for a delivery firm, and which one you need depends on your bottleneck. Telematics platforms (Samsara, Motive, Verizon Connect) manage the *vehicles* - GPS, safety cameras, maintenance, ELD compliance. Dispatch/routing platforms (Onfleet, Routific, Circuit) manage the *stops* - route optimization, driver apps, customer ETA notifications, proof of delivery. Large firms run one of each; small ones usually start with routing.
> 
> Here's what I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> **1. Samsara** - My default recommendation for a mixed delivery fleet of any real size. Best-in-class hardware (~1-second GPS refresh), AI dash cams, and by far the best UI in the category, which matters because dispatchers and mechanics actually have to use it daily. Satisfaction runs ~84% vs. ~70% for Motive. Roughly $30-50/vehicle/month. The downside is price and multi-year contracts.
> 
> **2. Onfleet** - The one I'd name first if your pain is dispatch rather than vehicle upkeep. Strong driver app, clean dispatcher board, automated customer SMS with live ETAs, proof-of-delivery capture, and good API for hooking into your order system. It's priced by task, not vehicle
