Case Study: Golden State Foods saves $50,000/month and boosts cold-chain visibility with Coretex iBRIGHT

Golden State Foods - Customer Case Study

Golden State Foods (GSF), a long-established food distribution leader operating from 26 U.S. distribution centers with over 800 tractors and 1,000+ trailers, needed to replace aging HOS technology and satisfy strict continuous temperature-monitoring requirements from major customers like McDonald's. They chose Coretex’s iBRIGHT platform and reefer telematics/HOS solution for its reliability, customization and ability to cover both truck and trailer needs.

Coretex deployed iBRIGHT across GSF’s fleet—migrating in-cab devices to tablets, adding remote reefer control, a truck exterior display, and Continuous Temperature Monitoring (CTM) integration to give a single view of air and product temperatures and enable predictive analytics. The implementation improved HOS compliance and cold-chain visibility and eliminated routine product probing, delivering roughly $50,000 per month in savings while positioning Golden State Foods for further joint innovations with Coretex.
