Publix Selects Cadec's Fleet Management System for Improved Efficiency, Savings and Supply Chain Visibility

Fast-Growing Supermarket Chain Upgrades to Cadec to Extend Supply Chain Into Truck Cabs

Cadec Global, a leading provider of advanced fleet management solutions, announced today that Publix Super Markets, Inc., the largest and fastest-growing employee-owned supermarket chain in the U.S., is now a Cadec customer. Publix has purchased and is implementing Cadec's Mobius TTS® On-Board Computers (OBCs) and on-premise software to extend its supply chain management efforts into the cabs of all 600+ trucks in its private fleet.

Publix chose Cadec due to Cadec's unique ability to tightly integrate its OBCs with Publix's other enterprise systems, and their preference for an on-premise software rather than software hosted by a third party (Cadec provides both options). Cadec also offered advantages in terms of data collection and reporting.

"At Publix, we have a deep commitment to providing Customer Value, and if we can reduce our operating costs through technology innovation, it will ultimately benefit our customers and employees," said Maria Brous, Publix director of media and community relations. "Cadec was able to provide all of the fleet management features and functionality we need in one package. In addition, the fact that we could run Cadec on-site was a major factor in our decision."

Founded in 1930, Publix Super Markets is the largest and fastest-growing employee-owned supermarket chain and one of the 10 largest volume chains in the United States. Retail sales in 2007 exceeded $23 billion. The company operates 995 supermarkets in five states from eight distribution centers, and has five of its own manufacturing facilities.

"This is a major win for Cadec," said Michael Baney, CEO of Cadec. "Publix is known for pushing the technology envelope, and their feedback and requirements are already helping to shape the future of Cadec's solutions. We are very pleased to be working with them."
