Challenge	Aunt Millie’s, a century-old bakery business, faced significant challenges in ensuring worker safety and operational efficiency across its 5 bakeries, 55 distribution centers, and a fleet of 600+ delivery vehicles. The company had a legacy security camera system in place, but it was inefficient and costly. Only a few users could access the footage due to a high license fee per user. Moreover, video retrieval was a time-consuming process, often taking hours to manually find and review footage. This reactive approach to safety incidents was inefficient and in some cases, incidents were not reviewed at all. The company also faced issues with catalytic converter theft. Aunt Millie’s needed a solution that would improve visibility, enable proactive safety measures, and increase back-office efficiency. Read More
About Customer	Aunt Millie’s is a century-old bakery business that produces and delivers more than half a million pounds of bread daily. The company operates through 5 bakeries, 55 distribution centers, and a fleet of 600+ delivery vehicles. Given the scale of their business, it’s critical for Aunt Millie’s to maintain high standards of safety and efficiency in their operations. The company employs over 2,000 people across its 60+ locations. Ensuring the safety of these employees and protecting them from serious injuries is a top priority for Aunt Millie’s. Read More
Solution	Aunt Millie’s adopted Samsara Site Visibility, a solution that significantly improved safety and efficiency. The company installed Site Visibility cameras across their locations, providing a complete field of vision into their operations. This allowed the back-office team to spot potentially hazardous situations and proactively address safety risks before an incident occurred. The solution also streamlined the process of reviewing incident footage. Instead of spending hours manually reviewing videos, supervisors could use AI search features to quickly identify and retrieve key footage in minutes. This transformed how Aunt Millie’s investigated incidents. The solution also enabled the company to handle large volumes of footage data at scale. More than 50 supervisors and managers now have access to Samsara, providing more opportunities for coaching and collaboration, and boosting workplace safety. Read More Log in to view content
