Case Study: WAXIE Sanitary Supply achieves a 44% safety-score improvement and major reductions in speeding, cell-phone use, and seatbelt violations with SmartDrive Systems

Waxie Sanitary Supply - Customer Case Study

Waxie Sanitary Supply, a San Diego–based distributor with a 113-vehicle private fleet and more than 800 employees, needed a versatile safety system to manage varied route environments—identifying inattentive and drowsy driving on over‑the‑road segments and protecting against not‑at‑fault claims in congested urban driving after finding their previous solution insufficiently flexible.

Waxie implemented the SmartDrive open, configurable video‑based platform (SmartDrive Assurance), using extended recording and integration with their 1‑800 call‑in line to investigate incidents and target coaching. Since switching, Waxie’s safety score improved 44% and key risk metrics fell dramatically: speeding down 57.5%, cell phone use down 25%, and seat belt violations down 72.2%, while better addressing backing, unintended lane changes, roll‑overs and close following.
