The Customer

Tasty Brands is an innovative provider of USDA-compliant meals for K-12 school districts across the nation. When “every bite is an adventure,” sourcing ingredients, packaging, etc. at high volumes relies on a carefully orchestrated supply chain that ensures meals make it to cafeterias on-time.

The Challenge

Manual processes, disparate systems

Shipping information was spread across disconnected, multiple systems and inside multiple spreadsheets. Tasty Brands needed a TMS that could take multiple forms of data and centralize it.

Shipment visibility

Because data was housed in multiple locations, finding answers to questions or predicting ETAs was incredibly time consuming. They needed a partner who could centralize freight management into one accessible, web-based system.

Multi-stop, FTL shipment effectiveness

Because Tasty Brands operates in the highly regulated food & beverage industry, they require sophisticated route planning to ensure the perishable foods they ship arrive at exactly the right time.
