A Trimble Case Study
Berry & Smith Trucking, a 62-year-old family-run carrier based in Penticton, British Columbia, needed a better way to manage diverse customer, staff, and driver information while improving operational efficiency and profitability. To meet those challenges, the company turned to Trimble and its TruckMate transportation management system, along with related tools for maintenance, digital imaging, routing, and communications.
Using Trimble’s integrated platform, Berry & Smith Trucking streamlined operations across a single database and improved visibility into costs and performance. The results included about $100,000 in annual savings from consolidating AP, AR, and payroll, plus another $30,000 to $50,000 per year saved through reduced administrative time and phone expenses, while also making it easier to identify profitable customers and loads.
