Case Studies / Cash-Wa Distributing
How Miller Freight & Logistics eliminated data silos, shifted from reactive repairs to proactive uptime management, and gained complete visibility across their entire cross-border fleet.
Founded in 1934 and headquartered in Kearney, Nebraska, Cash-Wa Distributing is a family-owned company and the Midwest's premier independent Foodservice, Convenience Store, and Equipment Supplier. As the 18th largest Broadline Foodservice Distributor in the nation, Cash-Wa operates a modern fleet of trucks and refrigerated trailers focused entirely on delivering complete customer satisfaction.
Deploying Fleetrock eliminated paper repair orders and freed admin staff from manual data entry. Technicians now enter repairs using talk-to-text and photo capture directly in the app. The Samsara integration brought telematics data into the repair and scheduling process. Inventory management became a streamlined system with min/max controls, easy reconciliation, and after-market warranty tracking. And for the first time, leadership had analytics dynamic enough to get the answers they needed in minutes rather than days.

“I absolutely love the platform! I am sometimes forward speaking with what I want, but the Fleetrock functionality has exceeded our old platform 10-Fold! The interactive ability for techs, our parts process, and analytics is awesome!”
— Doug Amend
Cash-Wa came to Fleetrock with three clear goals: modernize the maintenance process, create a more efficient parts and PO workflow, and get analytics powerful enough to drive real business decisions. All three were achieved, with results that exceeded what the team expected going in.
Paper repair orders and duplicate data entry were eliminated entirely. Technicians now enter repairs directly in the Fleetrock app using talk-to-text and photo capture, cutting administrative time by 50% and freeing the team to focus on higher-value work.
Inventory management was transformed with min/max controls, a user-friendly reconciliation tool, and after-market part warranty tracking. Making parts management simple, intuitive, and connected directly to the repair process for the first time.
Analytics went from days of manual hand analysis to dynamic, real-time dashboards that give leadership and maintenance teams instant visibility into cost, repair quality, warranty savings opportunities, and lifecycle optimization. A complete 180-degree turnaround in how Cash-Wa uses data.
