The food distribution industry is a huge one fraught with broken supply chains and a general lack of price transparency.  This makes it ripe for change at a time when there is an increasing interest in the combination of quality, speed, and integrity in business.  Foodem is an online marketplace, business intelligence and process automation solution for the massive annual U.S. food distribution industry.  It is a website where bulk food purchasers such as restaurants, hotels and caterers can buy food in an efficient, user-friendly and cost-effective matter.

In many cases, businesses and organizations that purchase food in bulk are not fully aware of all the options available to them, and the current system can be inefficient. For smaller distributors, it can be quite difficult to break into the market and compete with larger businesses.  Foodem provides buyers the ability to compare prices and gives small and medium distributors a way to reduce the costs associated with managing large sales teams. It is also a platform for sellers to advertise and market their products along with any additional specials.  Since it is available in any web browser, if a company’s business computers go down, managers or owners can still access Foodem via their home network service.

Foodem increases the market for food distributors, connecting small farms to the independent restaurants in their local markets. By helping them increase their market, the service lowers the farms’ cost of sale and puts some money back into their profit margin.  Restaurants also benefit, letting Foodem do price comparisons for bulk supply shopping to help save up to dozens per hours a month in research and lower expenses.  Foodem can place their order within minutes, not only saving time and money but eliminating errors.  Even beyond that, it can capture all the data so restaurants can keep track of food costs and sales from month to month.

Foodem’s creator refers to it as “Expedia.com, only for the food industry instead of hotels.”  It is great for buyers who now have a more transparent system to deal with pricing while distributors can increase their market reach and lower their overhead expenses.  Because businesses and organizations dependent on it can access it from any computer when they have a need for computer support, they are never without its many benefits.  Foodem charges only two percent on sales without the need for several or more salesmen, each working on commission.  It not only helps people purchase products that are the cheapest, but it also allows them to search for products that best fit their needs from a quality standpoint, making efficiency the core of what Foodem provides.  For all these reasons, it is clear that Foodem may just be the future of food distribution.
