LightSpeed Automation's pick-tolight
system automates " prepicking "
in the warehouse, which, along
with remote monitoring of sales
and service data with Cantaloupe's
vending management system, enables
just-in-time service.
REMOTE CONTROL
With its trucks logging so many
miles daily and gas prices climbing,
Maumee Valley Group recently
invested in Azuga's live GPS
tracking, which has helped reduce
its insurance costs significantly
by enhancing fleet-wide driver
visibility, accountability and safety.
With a tracker plugged into each
vehicle, MVG management simply
logs into Azuga Fleet to capture all
diagnostic data to gain instant insight
into a driver's efficiency.
" Azuga Fleet makes it easy to track
drivers on the job, " explained Jacob.
" It gives a scorecard for excessive
idling, heavy acceleration and hard
braking, as well as sharp turns, so we
can catch errors and keep our fingers
on the pulse of drivers and of vehicles
for mechanics. "
MVG keeps its vending and micro
market routes separate for the most
part, with the exception of locations
where it makes logistical sense to
combine the route because an account
has both services.
Office coffee service makes up 8%
to 12% of the company's business and
is included on its vending and micro
market trucks.
Despite a definite slump in OCS
in white-collar locations when
COVID prompted a work-fromhome
shift, there's still been plenty of
demand in many locations especially
for portion-pack coffee, unique
specialty coffee brands, and teas, and
it's ramping back up as more people
continue to return to the office,
according to Jordan.
With COVID restrictions easing
and the rejuvenation of the warm
weather following one exceptionally
long and challenging winter, the
Plassmans are confident that MVG is
poised for a new round of growth as
they celebrate 75 years. ■
