About The Customer
Simco Logistics, trading as Jack & Jill Direct Store Delivery, is one of the largest ice cream distributors in the Mid-Atlantic region. Established in 1929, the company has a long history of delivering a wide range of cold dessert specialties, frozen foods, and snack products. Today, Simco serves over 10,000 customers, including convenience stores, dollar stores, fuel stations, and drug stores. The company is committed to maintaining high standards of safety and compliance, particularly in the distribution of temperature-sensitive goods. With a fleet of over 150 drivers, Simco continuously seeks innovative solutions to enhance its operations and ensure customer satisfaction.
The Challenge
Simco Logistics, a major ice cream distributor in the Mid-Atlantic, faced challenges in improving fleet safety and complying with the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Despite having a fleet safety program for over 30 years, the company saw an opportunity to enhance its safety record and reduce accident-related costs. Additionally, as a distributor of temperature-sensitive goods, Simco needed to ensure compliance with FSMA regulations, which required meticulous temperature records during deliveries to prove that food was kept at safe conditions. The company sought a solution that could address both safety and compliance needs effectively.
The Solution
To address its challenges, Simco Logistics implemented Samsara's dual-facing dash cams and environmental monitors across its entire fleet. The dash cams provided HD footage of harsh driving events, enabling real-time alerts and data-driven coaching. This allowed Simco to track and review driving behavior, leading to significant improvements in safety. The company also used Samsara's environmental monitors to continuously track and record temperature in their vehicles, ensuring compliance with FSMA regulations. The monitors provided automatic alerts for temperature abnormalities, helping Simco prevent spoilage and maintain optimal conditions for their products. The combination of these technologies allowed Simco to modernize its safety program and streamline temperature monitoring, resulting in enhanced operational efficiency and compliance.
Operational Impact
  • Simco Logistics saw a 75% reduction in harsh driving events within a year, thanks to the implementation of Samsara's dual-facing dash cams and data-driven coaching tools.
  • The company was able to exonerate innocent drivers in accident cases using video evidence from the dash cams, reducing potential legal costs and claims.
  • Samsara's environmental monitors helped Simco comply with FSMA regulations by providing continuous temperature tracking and automatic alerts for abnormalities, preventing spoilage and ensuring product safety.
  • The real-time alerts and data-driven insights provided by Samsara's solutions enabled Simco to proactively address safety and compliance issues, leading to improved operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Simco Logistics reduced their accident rate by 50% within a year of implementing Samsara's solutions.
  • The cost of accidents was reduced by 60%, resulting in significant cost savings for the company.
  • Simco achieved an ROI of less than one year from the implementation of Samsara's solutions.
