At CIS Group, we know the field of food brokerage well!
We are aware of the reality of food brokers who are like an outside sales team for a brand. Each broker can represent several food companies, usually in a defined geographic area. Several of them specialize in one type of product, others are more diverse, offering different lines for several brands. Our Companion Rep software is designed to adapt to the needs of each broker, according to the specifics of the clientele’s products.
We also know that many brokers work with stores to market your product and coordinate demos. With the Companion Rep Suite, you will be able to manage the retail relationship, but also negotiate promotions or offers and automatically transmit information on product sales and store reviews.
