G&C Foods Anticipates Saving $300,000 Annually Using Cadec’s Fleet Management Software
Food distributor reduces speeding and excessive idling by 80 percent with Cadec
MANCHESTER, NH – June 4, 2008 – Cadec Global announced today that customer G&C Foods anticipates saving $300,000 in transportation costs annually using Cadec’s advanced fleet management software.
G&C Foods, based in Syracuse, NY, is one of the most respected food service re-distributors in the Northeast. The company’s 2008 revenues will approach $350 million, and transportation is its single biggest expense.
“Our overall transportation expenses for 2008 will be about $6 million,” said David Lepage, President of G&C Foods. “If Cadec helps reduce that by just three percent, that’s $180,000 in savings. But when we consider all the areas Cadec can contribute to – reduced fuel consumption, safety improvements, better logging compliance, better return tracking, and improving our ability to collect on invoices – we think our savings will be closer to $300,000 per year. Cadec will be the key to reducing our transportation costs while improving service to our customers.”
Larry Clark, Transportation Manager for G&C, explained that G&C selected Cadec for several reasons. First, the software is very flexible and easily customized. Second, the paperless logging features are rich and easy to use. And third, Cadec offered the best reporting options. “I have used other fleet management software, and have found that Cadec’s reports are the best in the industry,” added Clark.
In G&C’s first few months using Cadec’s fleet management solution, the firm has been able to:
- Reduce incidences of speeding and excessive idling by approximately 80 percent;
- Move to paperless logs;
- Improve its ability to track returns and collect on invoices through better record keeping; and
- Improve safety of drivers.

“Because it transports perishable items, G&C Foods has a lot to gain through better fleet and delivery management,” said Michael Baney, CEO of Cadec. “We work well together because G&C really values data – they understand that the information we monitor and collect is absolutely crucial toward identifying problem areas and improving efficiency.”
