Our Company

You've heard "Listen to your customers" before. And though you didn't read it here first, you'll find dramatic evidence that Advanced FoodSystems practices this common-sense business rule. In our approach to support, in our products and in the conversations you can have with our users, you'll come to realize we actively pursue feedback. As a result, our customers get bottom line improvements when they take advantage of the decision making power our software delivers.

One thing is certain, Advanced FoodSystems is a long term provider of information technology solutions to a wide variety of food processing and distribution companies across North America. Over the past fifteen years the company has evolved into a multi-million dollar organization with a clear purpose, solid ethics and a large, active user group.

The company's consistent theme of information technology innovation is supported by a strong backbone of software professionals. Over eighty percent of our employees are hands on technology-savvy people working daily to provide minor customization work, phone support and on-site development services to our users - new and old. This impressive depth of technical resources separates Advanced FoodSystems from the raft of other companies claiming to be viable information technology partners to the food industry.

Since day one, our year 2000 ready, enterprise software product, FoodDISTRIBUTE, was developed specifically for the food industry. Companies depending on Advanced FoodSystems and its products have annual sales ranging from $10 million to over $2 billion. They represent virtually all segments of the food industry including meat, poultry, seafood, produce, grocery, frozen, dairy, general merchandise, candy and tobacco.

FoodDISTRIBUTE has been put to the test by the demands of over one-hundred forty dynamic food companies and proves itself daily to thousands of users.

One of the many distinguishing advantages of working with Advanced FoodSystems is the user group. In its tenth year, the FoodDISTRIBUTE User Group meets annually in October to provide an arena for productivity, knowledge and kinship. This annual forum offers opportunities to "show and tell" with case studies and to guide FoodDISTRIBUTE's future development. Educational seminars, featuring guest speakers, present subjects of interest to the fellowship of users and include topics such as: Warehouse optimization, Integrated Information Systems, Mobile computing, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), Laptop Systems, Scanning, Bar codes and Radio Frequency Warehousing.
