FORT LAUDERDALE (October 22, 2020) – Fleet Advantage, a leading innovator in truck fleet business analytics, equipment financing, and Life Cycle Cost Management (LCCM) today announced that Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technology Officer, James Griffin, CTP is presenting at this year’s digital IFDA Distribution Solutions Conference. Griffin’s session: “Big Data Shows the Big Picture of Fleet Operations” is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 28, at 1:30 p.m. EDT.
Food distribution and manufacturing companies are leveraging big data and how it affects everything from their operational strategies, logistics, procurement, truck maintenance practices and more. Fleet managers are not only directed to increase efficiencies and save money, but they must also monitor and comply with growing regulatory mandates such as the Food Safety Modernization Act and Hours of Service Rules, while still meeting increasing customer expectations. While food distributors can operate hundreds of vehicles, they may lack the tools and resources needed to properly monitor and analyze the volume of data they receive to make critical decisions that affect the bottom line.
In his session, Griffin will discuss how analyzing appropriate data can provide insightful visibility into critical components of a food distribution fleet’s operations, as well as how Business Intelligence is shaping the future of food distribution fleets today.
James Griffin is a seasoned IT executive with over 25 years of experience in technology and information systems. He is responsible for building technology-driven engineering and professional service support teams that address both internal and client-centric goals. He is a proven leader, innovator and technology visionary widely respected for his thought leadership and recognized with multi-industry awards and U.S. patents. “Every industry today is utilizing Big Data and Business Intelligence in some fashion, with many relying on lifecycle asset management and technology resources that can help them to make more strategic and profitable decisions,” said Griffin.
The IFDA Distribution Solutions Conference is an annual event created to educate those in the food distribution space on the latest intelligence tools to meet the challenges of today including warehouse operations, transportation, talent development and compliance.
Fleet Advantage will have a virtual booth at the 2020 IFDA Distribution Solutions Conference.
