Case Study: Mayer Brothers achieves improved product safety and compliance with Motive Reefer Monitoring

How Mayer Brothers achieved cost savings and improved regulatory compliance with Motive's reefer monitoring solution

Mayer Brothers, a leading food and beverage shipper and the largest apple cider processor in North America, needed better real-time visibility into its reefer fleet to protect temperature-sensitive products and meet FSMA compliance requirements. The company faced the challenge of monitoring fluctuating trailer temperatures and humidity during transport, especially in extreme New England weather, where even small deviations could risk spoilage or customer issues. Motive’s Reefer Monitoring solution gave Mayer Brothers the visibility it needed.

Motive implemented remote reefer monitoring so Mayer Brothers could track temperature, humidity, location, and fleet data in one place, create logs on demand, and receive instant alerts for trailer issues. This helped the team investigate temperature excursions, prevent spoilage, and avoid unnecessary trailer repairs. Mayer Brothers reported saving 5–10 hours per week in fleet manager productivity, improving efficiency, and boosting product safety, with Motive also noting a 25% increase in time savings.
