Case Study: Acme Smoked Fish achieves real-time temperature visibility and reduced spoilage with Samsara

Acme Smoked Fish - Customer Case Study

Acme Smoked Fish, a century-old leader in smoked fish production and distribution to 1,800 East Coast accounts, struggled to maintain accurate temperature documentation across its refrigerated fleet. Dependence on disposable data loggers that were often lost or damaged led to rejected deliveries, spoilage, and tens of thousands of dollars in annual losses.

Acme installed Samsara EM11 wireless temperature sensors and VG33 gateways, enabling fast, in-vehicle installation and a centralized dashboard with real-time temperature alerts, GPS tracking, and engine diagnostics. The system eliminated manual logging, provided tamper-proof records for food-safety compliance, reduced spoilage and extra shipments, improved fleet efficiency, and saved the company thousands of dollars each year.
