Performance Food Group Streamlines Distribution Ops with Cloud-based Mobile Solutions
Performance Food Group Company (PFG), one of the largest foodservice distributors in the U.S., is streamlining its national distribution operations using Descartes Food Perform and Descartes Electronic Vehicle Inspection Reporting (Descartes eDVIR).
“With one of the largest private truck fleets in the U.S. operating out of 68 distribution centers, PFG’s distribution operations are extensive. Customer satisfaction is a top priority and having the right technology in place to better serve our customers while operating as efficiently as possible is critical for us,” said Jim Hope, EVP Operations at PFG. “Descartes’ mobile solutions are helping us to improve our delivery processes. With better order accuracy, reduced administrative activity and real-time invoice adjustments, we’re able to drive greater efficiencies from our distribution operations.”
Descartes Food Perform is a web-based mobile solution that helps eliminate error-prone paper-based practices throughout the distribution process and at the point of delivery. With real-time communication, the solution helps to improve order accuracy, minimize customer disputes and write-offs related to overages, shortages and damages (OS&Ds) while simplifying complex multi-part invoicing for clean delivery invoices and achieving higher levels of customer satisfaction.
Descartes eDVIR is an integrated U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)-compliant mobile solution that automates and improves the efficiency of daily Driver Vehicle Inspection Reporting (DVIR). With the solution, companies can significantly reduce the time spent on daily vehicle inspections and reporting, protect against non-compliance and quickly identify and address issues to improve fleet operations and overall supply chain efficiency.
Descartes Food Perform and Descartes eDVIR are part of Descartes’ comprehensive Routing, Mobile & Telematics software suite. Designed to unify fleet and mobile resource management, Descartes supports the full, closed-loop process associated with route planning, route execution, and driver and vehicle performance.
