If your company already uses Samsara, you’re sitting on a goldmine of data - GPS locations, engine hours, and odometer readings that show exactly how your equipment is being used.
However, there’s one big problem that you've probably experienced: there's no easy way to get data from Samsara into your ERP.
Because of this, your accounting team has to rely on data that's manually entered from the field - often handwritten or estimated hours that, in my experience, can be 20–50% off from the actual readings. Those errors ripple through your job cost reports, payroll, and equipment rate calculations.
The Missing Link Between Samsara and Your ERP
IVO Systems is a Preferred Partner of Samsara, designed to bridge the gap between telematics data and accounting.
IVO automatically pulls in your Samsara data - hour meters, odometers, and locations - and syncs it directly with your ERP. That means if you’re running Viewpoint Vista, Spectrum, or another major accounting platform, IVO ensures your financial data is powered by verified equipment activity, directly from the equipment itself.
With IVO in place, your Samsara data goes from isolated telematics readings to actionable accounting data that your payroll and project cost teams can actually use and get value from.
Built for Heavy Equipment Costing Best Practices
IVO Systems makes it easy to follow industry-recognized best practices for equipment cost allocation, like those championed by Mike Vorster’s "Construction Equipment Economics".
IVO separates and syncs the right data into your ERP so you can:
- Charge ownership or rental costs by days on job
- Charge operating costs by hours used on job
Every rate, cost, and charge is driven by real-time Samsara data coming directly from your machines, not a foreman's "best guess" about operator hours.
It Doesn’t Work Without IVO in the Middle
Telematics providers like Samsara collect and visualize your equipment data. ERPs manage financials - handling payroll, project costing, and reporting. But the two rarely connect in a way that keeps information consistent across the company.
IVO does the dirty work for you, automatically pulling in equipment data, locations, and usage from all your providers into one spot. Once your data is centralized, it’s synced directly with your ERP or accounting system with no manual entry required - so the numbers your accounting team sees are the same ones your field crews entered (or your telematics collected).
Through IVO’s built-in ERP integrations, that verified equipment data flows directly into your accounting and payroll systems with no intervention, ensuring your financials are always built on accurate, trustworthy field data.
