Food & Beverage Expertise
The food and drink distribution industry’s supply chain is notoriously complex. You need speed, quality and standards to succeed. If you miscalculate buying, processing, packaging or delivery, you’re throwing cash, and possibly customers, out the window; many competitors are eager to step in. Following instructions is vital to customer satisfaction. You must be able to handle returns effectively, exchange data on the fly, offer alternative replacements at a moment’s notice, forecast demand around lead times, down to within hours. Your sales teams must remain proactive, calling on customers before and after every order. And pricing must remain accurate and current, with daily promotions and specials, catch weights and mixed shipments complicating matters to no end.
Unreliable distribution software will starve your business of profits. Effective distribution software, on the other hand, feeds your precious margin.
