Since onboarding with Samsara, KeHE gained insights on obstacles that previously impacted a driver’s on-time delivery, such as unexpected traffic, the press release explains. The intuitive tools enabled KeHE to serve its customers with delivery notifications and increased efficiency— the company saved hundreds of hours annually. Through KeHE’s partnership with Samsara, the distributor implemented live sharing links, GPS tracking, and high-quality on-demand cam footage.

“We are always looking for development opportunities for our employees," said Greg Sikorski, Director of Transportation Safety and Compliance. "This not only ensures our employees are safe, a priority at KeHE, but also allows our team to give continuous development feedback to KeHE’s drivers.”
