Case Study: Second Harvest achieves faster food rescue and reduced idle time with GPS to Go

Second Harvest - Customer Case Study

Second Harvest, a Toronto-based food rescue non-profit that collects perishable surplus from grocery stores and restaurants, needed faster, more efficient pickups to preserve food freshness and serve more people. GPS to Go installed a Geotab GPS fleet tracking system to help the organization locate the nearest refrigerated truck and dispatch it quickly when donations became available.

Using GPS to Go’s Geotab solution, Second Harvest cut idle time by nearly 31% per day, reduced maximum vehicle speeds by 7%, increased average stops by 7.6%, and grew daily distance driven by 4.5%. Beyond these operational gains, GPS to Go provided hard data that improved routing efficiency and gave donors confidence that funds support an effective, accountable rescue operation.
