306 Case Studies
A Honeywell Case Study
National Food, a Miami-based snack food producer and distributor, was held back by 10-year-old handheld PCs and a patchwork of software not designed for direct store delivery (DSD), causing routine sales and inventory reports to take hours and slowing deliveries to major customers like Publix, Winn-Dixie, Wal‑Mart, BJ’s and Sam’s Club. To modernize operations they engaged Honeywell (through Honeywell partner IntegraSys), adopting IntegraSys’ DSD Manager solution and upgrading to Honeywell CN70 mobile computers.
IntegraSys’ DSD Manager consolidated multiple systems into one DSD-focused platform and Honeywell’s CN70 devices provided rugged, DSD-capable mobile computing, dramatically speeding processes: reports that once took hours now take minutes, large deposits with hundreds of invoices process in seconds for EDI-enabled customers, and back‑office productivity gains meant National Food did not need to replace a recently retired employee. Honeywell’s solution delivered clear, measurable efficiency improvements across National Food’s back office.
