Paragon Software Systems has joined IFDA, the premier trade association for the foodservice distribution industry.
With 8.7 billion cases of food delivered each year and 131,000 drivers in employment, the foodservice distribution industry is big business in America. The International Foodservice Distributors Association (IFDA) member companies play a critical role in the industry’s supply chain, delivering food and other products to more than one million professional kitchens every day.
As any logistics professional will know, the pressure to keep stores and restaurants stocked with produce while also maintaining a profitable distribution operation is no easy task. In fact it’s nigh on impossible to get it right without some type of routing tool.
Paragon is proud to be the route optimization software partner of choice for a wide range of foodservice distributors. From burgers to milk and speciality cheese, our customers use our routing software to make sure fresh food arrives on time so that their customers can focus on serving food when and where it’s needed.
Whether your private fleet numbers 20 or 200 vehicles, route optimization software can help you reduce your transport costs. But working with an expert makes sure you get the best ROI from your investment.
Our team of support consultants includes logistics professionals with a background in the foodservice distribution industry. Furthermore, with such a large number of Paragon customers in the foodservice distribution industry, our support consultants have hands-on experience of helping companies like yours use Paragon’s route optimization software to maximize efficiency and improve customer service.
We will be attending the IFDA Distribution Solutions Conference in October. Stop by Stand 750 and meet the Paragon team if you are at the show. We’d love to talk to you more about reducing planning time, improving the accuracy of ETAs and increasing the level of customer service you can offer.
If you aren’t heading down to the Distribution Solutions Conference this year then why not get in touch and see how we can help you? Whether it’s resource management functionality to allow planners to build schedules based on the actual availability of individual drivers, or the tools to make better use of ELD data, we’re developing our routing software to help US foodservice distributors do more for less. Get in touch to find out more.
