DENEMO vs Samsara: Key differences
Samsara and DENEMO serve different needs. Here's how they compare across key areas.
- Core focus
- Full carrier TMS: dispatch, billing, settlements, shipper portals, and driver mobile in one system.
- ELD compliance, GPS tracking, and fleet telematics. No native dispatch or billing.
- Dispatch board
- Real-time dispatch board with conflict detection, HOS visibility, and margin analysis per load.
- No dispatch board. Requires third-party TMS integration for load planning.
- Billing & invoicing
- Same-day invoicing with auto-built packets, settlements, and factoring integration.
- No billing features. Requires separate accounting or TMS software.
- Driver mobile app
- Guided workflows for PODs, detention, inspections. Bilingual. Works offline.
- ELD compliance app with DVIR and HOS. Not designed for load-level document capture.
- Shipper visibility
- Branded portals with live ETAs, document access, and proactive notifications.
- Tracking data available via API. No native shipper portal or customer notifications.
- Integration approach
- DENEMO integrates with Samsara for ELD/GPS data while handling dispatch, billing, and customer ops.
- Integrates with TMS partners but doesn't replace dispatch or billing workflows.
Signs you need more than Samsara
Samsara is excellent at what it does. These signals suggest you need a TMS layer on top.
- You have Samsara for ELD but still use spreadsheets or multiple systems for dispatch and billing.
- Invoicing is delayed because PODs and accessorials don't flow automatically from driver to billing.
- Shippers call for updates because there's no self-serve portal beyond tracking coordinates.
- Dispatchers toggle between Samsara, a separate TMS, and QuickBooks to complete a single load.
- You want to keep Samsara telematics but need a unified TMS for operations.
