Who within the chain we work with
Produce category buyers and merchandisers, DC inbound teams, private-label and produce procurement leads, and store-level program owners building seasonal sets. We work upstream with category buyers and downstream with DC ops.
Onboarding
Most chain onboarding takes one to two weeks: MSA and W-9 exchange, spec confirmation, first test load, then transition to standing program. We can run on EDI from week one if it speeds onboarding.
