Case Study: Food Express achieves 85% monthly cost savings and 83% faster incident investigations with Samsara Site Visibility

Food Express - Customer Case Study

Food Express is a transportation company that moves bulk food ingredients for major brands, operating 12 sites with a fleet of about 185 tractors and 320 trailers. Their legacy on‑prem camera system was hard to manage, left footage unsecured, and hampered investigations—after a theft of over $30K with no usable video, leadership needed remote review, reliable cloud backups, and better incident visibility.

They deployed Samsara Site Visibility and the Connected Operations platform, bringing 140+ camera streams and Vehicle/Asset Gateways to track 500+ assets into a single dashboard with AI search and proactive alerts. The result: 85% monthly savings on camera costs, 83% less time spent searching footage (investigations now take under 30 minutes vs. 3+ hours), faster evidence sharing for police/insurance, and improved safety and operational oversight.
