Competition in the fresh, perishables and CPG categories necessitates the optimization of the procurement process in order to maintain customer loyalty. You must ensure optimal amounts of product to meet general consumer demand while also accommodating changing requirements during promotions. Given rising fuel costs, you must manage your loads effectively and minimize freight costs. And given the sheer number of daily orders that pass through your supply chain, they must be accurate so that you can focus on building relationships with your partners, not debating the accuracy or timeliness of payment.
