PeopleNet has acquired the assets of Cadec Global Inc., expanding the company’s mobility solutions in the foodservice and private fleet industries.

Cadec provides web enterprise, business intelligence and back-end analytics tools for the foodservice and private fleet sectors. The company began offering these tools in 1976, pioneering several innovations in the industry, according to PeopleNet.

“This acquisition combines the best of both Cadec and PeopleNet,” said Brian McLaughlin, PeopleNet president. “Together, our companies will leverage the enhanced expertise of both organizations to bring innovative technology and service solutions to the foodservice and private fleet industries and the transportation industry as a whole."

Cadec’s current chief customer officer Angela Shue will assume a new role as general manager of Cadec to work with PeopleNet leadership. Cadec will become part of PeopleNet and will continue to operate out of its Manchester, N.H., location.

"When Trimble and PeopleNet considered the growth opportunities in the foodservice category, they looked to Cadec," said Shue. "We are excited to work together to broaden PeopleNet's presence in the market and bring a new level of safety, compliance and cost reduction solutions to our customers."
