Performance Food Group (PFG) is migrating 100% of its fleet management business to Trimble Instinct in a move that will double PFG’s fleet of Trimble-serviced trucks from 4,000 to more than 8,000 vehicles.
Trimble will provide fleet management and telematics solutions across PFG’s three business segments: Performance Foodservice, Core-Mark, and Vistar. All PFG vehicles will be equipped with Trimble’s in-cab technology that connects drivers and back-office staff to boost safety, compliance, and efficiency, the companies reported.
“As a large distributor focused on growth, we need a single fleet management system to support our expanding fleet,” Len Lamkin, PFG vice president of transportation, said in a news release. “Trimble was a great choice to satisfy our needs. With Trimble, all our vehicles will be in sync on the same platform, allowing us to better manage the thousands of drivers and vehicles we have on the road.”
Established in 1885 in Richmond, Virginia, PFG is a Fortune 100 company that delivers more than 300,000 food and food-related products to customers across the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico.
PFG’s decision to migrate its entire fleet to Trimble comes after years of using disparate fleet management systems across the company’s multiple sectors, complicating communication and workflows between the company’s vast network of drivers and back-office personnel. PFG required a comprehensive solution to manage and provide electronic logging device (ELD) data that also is compatible with PFG’s in-house and third-party tools—a solution provided by Trimble’s “easily integrated” technology.
“PFG has been a valued customer of Trimble for more than two decades,” said Paul Cardosi, Trimble VP of telematics fleet management. “We are pleased to continue to provide them with superior technology and service. Working closely with PFG, we’ve streamlined their workflow and business needs to create a more nimble and connected transportation experience.”
