Berliner Specialty Distributors, an ice cream and specialty and natural frozen foods distributor, transitioned from paper-based systems to a fully automated mobile sales and delivery solution with the IntegraSys-Apacheta solution, produced by IntegraSys. Deployed to its 25-plus route sales and delivery personnel, this solution reduces data entry and accounting errors, shortens time-to-delivery and provides more accurate invoices to customers. The application communicates daily via electronic data interchange (EDI) with manufacturers such as Unilever to facilitate ordering and provide full visibility into their sales operations. The IntegraSys solution also offers full scan-based trading (or consignment-based inventory) functionality, which includes inbound and outbound EDI to and from the retailer.
