JUPITER, FL – In less than six months, Driscoll’s saved more than $1.2 million in what would have been lost shipments thanks to Locus Traxx’s real-time transit monitoring device, SmartTraxx GO. As a result, the company has been named as Driscoll’s 2015 Cold Chain Champion.
“Driscoll’s is pleased to have selected Locus Traxx as our 2015 Cold Chain Champion,” said Tom Shepherd, Driscoll’s Director of Logistics. “They have provided critical leadership in support of Driscoll’s goal of achieving proactive in-transit monitoring of our fruit that includes real-time visibility of temperature, security, and truck location.”
The award was presented during Driscoll’s Logistics Conference in Seaside, CA, which honors providers based on their ability to consistently exceed Driscoll’s expectations, as well as demonstrate an understanding of its vision, mission, and values through their daily work, according to a press release.
Locus Traxx has also provided Driscoll’s with a managed services team to respond to in-transit alerts, the development of customized reporting, and global cold chain support.
David Benjamin, CEO of Locus Traxx, said the relationship with Driscoll’s has been one of “collaborative learning and open communication.”
“The SmartTraxx GO platform has won so many prestigious awards this year, but winning the Cold Chain Champion Award… it’s like winning an Oscar,” he added. “Locus Traxx has committed to provide extraordinary levels of service and has adopted Driscoll’s mission as our own.”
The disposable SmartTraxx GO allows the produce and transportation industries to access real-time data from their shipments. The palm-sized device delivers up-to-the-minute reports via email or text on the location, temperature, and security of the products while they’re in transit so you can be ensured of their safety.
In addition to Driscoll's recent award, Locus Traxx's innovative tool has won United Fresh’s Food Safety Product of the Year Award, IoT Evolutions’ Product of the Year Award, and Supply and Demand Chain’s Green Award. Locus Traxx has also been named a 2015 GrowFL Company To Watch.
