Sysco GB runs more than 2,000 vehicles from 32 depots, delivering around one million items every day. With driver safety central to keeping this national food distribution operation moving, its previous reliance on spot-checks and time-consuming CCTV reviews left managers with only a partial view of risk across the fleet.

This case study explains how Sysco GB brought advanced AI, real-time information and high-definition footage into one cloud-based platform. With relevant video linked to flagged events, managers could retrieve footage in minutes rather than hours, review incidents with greater context and support drivers through timely coaching.

Within three months, Sysco GB reported a 40% decrease in on-road accidents. The company also reported a 17% reduction in harsh driving events, insured costs down 15% year on year and average driver performance scores above 90%. These are customer-specific results, but they demonstrate how better evidence and faster feedback can strengthen a fleet safety programme.
