"Food safety during its transport is easily one of the top concerns for today's food supply chains—particularly for products that are perishable. This award further validates the value our innovative, video-based safety program brings to food and beverage fleets, materially improving safety, ensuring a higher quality of customer service and positively impacting the bottom line," said Steve Mitgang, CEO of SmartDrive. "Our open, configurable platform delivers the fastest insight to risk, offering up to 360-degree views of the vehicle with back-up and blind-spot camera integration and immediate offload when an incident occurs—capabilities that are especially important to food and beverage customers who operate in tight spaces and rely on these cameras to protect their drivers and their freight. It's an honor to receive this award from Food Logistics—a leading voice in the food and beverage space."

Food and beverage supply chains face many challenges, including keeping deliveries safe and intact. SmartDrive's video-based safety program measurably reduces risk by providing greater contextual insight into the riskiest driving that results in collisions. SmartDrive's video-based safety program identifies unsafe driving with an open platform that captures video, vehicle, audio and driving data, and automatically offloads footage for expert review and analysis. With the SmartDrive Assurance product line, fleets can select from packages that empower them to focus on their top priority collision risks, including those caused by backing, unintended lane changes, roll-overs and close following from passenger vehicles. Fleets operating in the food and beverage industry rely on SmartDrive's video safety program to not only mitigate safety concerns during transport, but also provide high quality customer service.

"The impact of software and technology on the global food supply chain is truly profound," said Lara Sowinski, editor-in-chief at Food Logistics. "Software solution providers, equipment manufacturers and numerous technology innovations are supporting growth in our industry while concurrently lowering operating costs, improving productivity and enhancing visibility from farm to fork."

The FL100+ list will appear in the November/December 2015 issues of Food Logistics magazine and online at www.foodlogistics.com.
