Case Study: J&R Schugel improves cold chain visibility with ORBCOMM

J&R Schugel Boosts Cold Chain Visibility with ORBCOMM

J&R Schugel, a leading national truckload carrier, needed to enhance the visibility and security of its refrigerated shipments to minimize the risk of spoiled goods and reduce operational costs. To address this challenge, they partnered with ORBCOMM to implement its comprehensive cold chain telematics solution for monitoring their fleet of refrigerated trailers.

ORBCOMM's solution provided J&R Schugel with real-time, two-way monitoring of temperature and location, enabling remote control of reefers and immediate alerts for out-of-range conditions. This resulted in a significant reduction in the risk of spoilage claims, improved asset utilization, and substantial fuel savings from detecting theft and preventing unnecessary idling. ORBCOMM's technology also streamlined compliance with FDA regulations, ultimately helping J&R Schugel increase profitability and deliver a higher level of customer service.
