Case Study: US Foods achieves 1.1 million recovered staff hours and $800K annual savings with NetMotion Mobility

US Foods Recoups 1.1 Million Staff Hours & $800K Annually with NetMotion Mobility

US Foods, one of the largest food distributors in the United States, relied on a 5,000-person field sales force that repeatedly suffered dropped connections and a poorly performing VPN, forcing reps to hand-write orders, carry printed materials, and batch orders from home. To solve these challenges, US Foods turned to NetMotion and its NetMotion Mobility solution to provide persistent, reliable connectivity for laptops and mobile applications in the field.

NetMotion implemented NetMotion Mobility (paired with SAP Afaria) to maintain continuous connections, enable real-time stock checks, support remote OS/antivirus updates, and manage bandwidth via policy controls. As a result, US Foods recouped 1.1 million productive staff hours, saved $800,000 annually on printed materials, improved customer service through on-site ordering, and closed critical cybersecurity gaps.
