Bespoke eCommerce Solutions Streamlining Food Distribution

Orders crawling through disconnected systems. Customers frustrated by limited payment choices and zero tracking visibility. Warehouse teams guessing at order status while mistakes pile up. A major food distributor serving restaurants and homes across the US was watching their outdated systems drag down operations and drive customers away. Orders moved too slowly from website to warehouse, different departments couldn’t share information, and delivery delays became routine. INTECH built an integrated system using SAP Hybris that connected orders, payments, and shipping into one seamless platform, making operations faster and customers happier.
