Sync Samsara vehicle locations with NISC's utility management system to optimize vehicle dispatch to an outage location.

Note

This integration can be enabled by either of the following third-party System Integrators on the Samsara Expert Marketplace:

The integration enables you to sync vehicle GPS with NISC to show current location in the Outage Management System (OMS) so that managers can appropriately dispatch a vehicle to an outage location.

Requirements

  • NISC: None

  • Samsara: Samsara API token with read scope

  • SwingDev or XDS: Statement of work (SOW) and subscription agreement to implement/support the integration

Deployment

  1. Contact one of the third-party System Integrators on the Samsara Expert Marketplace to confirm the integration scope and get a quote:

  2. Complete the SOW with the selected third-party System Integrator.

  3. Download your list of vehicles including the unique Samsara Vehicle ID.

    1. Go to Settings > Devices > More Actions > Upload CSV.

    2. Click on Gateways List.

      Column A will contain the Vehicle ID.

      Note

      The report includes a G in front of the 15-digit number. When you provide the vehicle IDs to your representative to use as the AVL ID, you must remove the leading G such that only the 15-digit number remains.

    If you need help finding the unique Samsara Vehicle ID, ask Samsara Support.

  4. Create a Samsara API Token named NISC Integration with the following granular scopes in the Vehicles category:

    • Read Vehicles

    • Read Vehicle Statistics

    For more information on creating an API token, see Get Started with the Samsara API.

  5. Notify your NISC representative that you want to enable vehicle location sync with Samsara.

    If you do not have an existing relationship with NISC, reach out through the NISC contact form with the following:

    • Ask for endpoint data for the GPS integration

    • Provide a list of Samsara vehicles including the unique Samsara Vehicle ID which will be used as the Map Code or AVL ID in NISC.

    NISC will complete vehicle ID mapping in their software.

  6. Send the Samsara API Token and NISC endpoint data to your selected third-party System Integrator to enable the integration.

    After the integration is enabled, vehicle position data will display in NISC.

Support

For issues related to the integration, contact NISC Support or work with your selected third-party System Integrator:
