Cadec Shares “10 Ways to Go Paperless” with Trucking Fleet Management Software

New e-report details 10 common paper-based processes, from driver logs to maintenance records, that can be automated

MANCHESTER, NH – Apr. 9, 2008 – Cadec Global, a leading provider of advanced fleet management solutions, today published a new e-report titled, “10 Ways to Go Paperless (and Save Money) with Fleet Management Software and Supply Chain Optimization.”

The report details 10 common paper-based processes, including driver logs, fuel-tax reporting and maintenance records, that can be automated through fleet management software. Benefits include greater operational efficiency, lower costs and less environmental impact.

“Going paperless is one of the most ambitious and sought-after goals for businesses that own and operate a private delivery fleet,” said Michael Baney, CEO of Cadec. “’Going Green’ – the desire to be more environmentally responsible – is one of the driving factors behind going paperless. But as this report demonstrates, going paperless can also have a significant impact on an organization’s bottom line.”

Cheney Brothers food distribution company eliminates $400,000 in costs by going paperless.
One of the companies featured in the report is Cadec customer Cheney Brothers, a billion-dollar food distribution company based in Florida. The 80-year-old company delivers food products to restaurants, hotels, convenience stores, hospitals, schools and prisons across four states in the southeast.

In reviewing its delivery operation, Cheney Brothers realized its staff was using many manual processes that were inefficient, time consuming and costly. There was one common trait across these areas—paper. Cheney Brothers was spending more than $400,000 a year on paper and the labor and equipment associated with paper-based processes. In addition to driver paperwork and logs, the use of three-ply forms for each delivery and paper-based invoices cost the company hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Automating those processes with Cadec’s fleet management software reduced the company’s operational costs – and boosted its bottom line – significantly.
