Performance Food Group Co. (PFG) has chosen Westminster-based Trimble Inc. (Nasdaq: TRMB) as its premier fleet management provider, migrating 100% of its fleet management operations to Trimble Instinct. This shift will double the number of trucks managed with Trimble 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, which connects drivers and back-office staff to improve safety, compliance and efficiency.
PFG’s transition to Trimble follows years of utilizing different fleet management systems across its various sectors, hindering communication and workflows between drivers and back-office personnel. PFG sought a comprehensive solution that manages and supplies Electronic Logging Device (ELD) data and integrates with its in-house and third-party tools—solutions that Trimble’s technology provides.
“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.”
Performance Food Group, founded in 1885 and headquartered in Richmond, Va., is one of the largest food and foodservice distribution companies in North America, delivering over 300,000 food and food-related products to customers across the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico.
