Changing Points of Competition
Fueled by $7.8 Billion of FoodTech investments the industry is changing. Operators and other buyers are expecting to be able to order online from the platform of their choice. In the last 2 years alone, almost 100,000 operators started using 3rd party ordering tools. Suppliers that react and become part of these changes will have four distinct competitive advantages:
|
Open New Sales ChannelsImagine turning your customer’s Menu Planning or Inventory Management System into a sales channel for your products. Or, being part of an innovative new marketplace that helps you reach a valuable customer segment. Entrepreneurs are also opening channels to facilitate distributor to distributor sales, move excess inventory to reduce food waste, and much more. By joining a growing network you will access new markets.
|
Deeper Customer RelationshipsMore customers will order digitally. So your reps can spend more time learning about your customer’s business and less time simply taking orders. 1 on 1 time with customers is precious. We'll help free up your sales team to focus on solving your customers problems instead of taking orders.
|
Customers Order Their WayWith customers having different requirements, it is hard to offer your own eCommerce ordering system that delivers high customer satisfaction. But new ordering systems are entering the market to deliver customized experiences for different types of operators. The Open Food & Beverage Commerce Network gives you a single point of integration so your customers can use the system that works best for them.
|
Lower Total Procurement CostsBy integrating into your customer’s inventory management tool you help reduce their total procurement cost. Reducing the time it takes to place an order, reconcile disputes, process invoices, and manage inventory can add up to significant savings. We’ll help ensure you’re offering your customers the lowest possible total procurement cost.
