Innovation Born from Collaboration
Thanks to this collective effort, we integrated artificial intelligence into CIS Companion to make food distribution smarter, reduce waste, and improve distributor performance.
What is the AI Feature in CIS Companion?
Our AI functionality is fully integrated into CIS Companion—not a separate module. It connects seamlessly with routes, reps, and SKUs to deliver a smooth and efficient experience.
Here’s what it brings:
- Accurate demand forecasting for better product planning
- Reduced returns and increased product freshness
- Standardized workflows for distributors, making onboarding easier
- Improved in-store promotion efficiency
- Fewer out-of-stock situations
- Optimized assortments based on demographic and ethnic profiles
In short, this feature helps distributors make smarter decisions, boost profitability, and deliver a better customer experience.
This award proves that innovation is, above all, a human adventure. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this success!
