Tampa Steak Company eliminates manual order slips and handwritten pick tickets, simplifies costing and inventory control with Food Connex

Tampa Steak Company, a wholesale food distributor and retail meat market, was struggling with a slow and error-prone manual ordering system that relied on handwritten slips and pick tickets. To overcome this challenge and support its continued growth beyond the capabilities of QuickBooks, the company partnered with vendor CAI Software to implement its Food Connex ERP solution.

The CAI Food Connex software computerized order entry, providing salespeople with instant access to customer order history, real-time inventory data, and up-to-date pricing. This solution from CAI Software resulted in an immediate increase in the speed and accuracy of order taking. The company president noted significant time savings and the complete elimination of errors caused by illegible tickets, all while benefiting from the system's low upfront investment and monthly cost.
