Trimble® announced that Performance Food Group Company (PFG), one of North America's largest food and foodservice distribution companies, has selected Trimble as its premier fleet management provider — servicing 100 percent of PFG's fleet business and doubling the number of trucks managed with Trimble in-cab technology from 4,000 to more than 8,000.
Trimble will provide fleet management and telematics solutions to vehicles across PFG's three business segments including Performance Foodservice Core-Mark and Vistar. All PFG vehicles will be equipped with Trimble Instinct, Trimble's in-cab ecosystem that seamlessly connects drivers and back-office staff to boost safety, compliance and efficiency.
Established in 1885 in Richmond, VA, 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 their 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 is also compatible with PFG's in-house and third-party tools — a solution provided by Trimble's easily-integrated technology.
"As a large distributor focused on growth, we need a single fleet management system to support our expanding fleet," said Len Lamkin, vice president, Transportation at PFG. "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."
"PFG has been a valued customer of Trimble for more than two decades. We are pleased to continue to provide them with superior technology and service," said Paul Cardosi, VP of telematics & fleet management at Trimble. "Working closely with PFG, we've streamlined their workflow, and business needs to create a more nimble and connected transportation experience."
