Case Study: Simco Logistics achieves 50% reduction in accidents and FSMA‑compliant temperature monitoring with Samsara

One of the largest ice cream distributors in the Mid-Atlantic uses Samsara for safety, temperature monitoring, and ELD compliance

Simco Logistics (Jack & Jill Direct Store Delivery) is a nearly 100‑year‑old Mid‑Atlantic ice cream and frozen goods distributor serving over 10,000 customers. Facing persistent safety incidents, accident-related costs, and the need to meet FSMA temperature‑monitoring requirements, leadership sought to modernize a long-standing safety program and improve driver coaching and compliance.

Simco deployed Samsara dual‑facing dash cams, a Safety Inbox for event prioritization, and in‑cab environmental sensors to automate temperature logging. Daily event‑based and quarterly group coaching, plus real‑time alerts, led to a 50% reduction in accidents, a 60% drop in related costs, a 75% decrease in harsh driving events (from 20–30 to under 5 per day), faster detection of refrigeration failures, driver exonerations with video evidence, and an ROI of under one year.
