That's when they chose Descartes. Descartes Perform for Food enabled US Foods to make the distribution portion of its business highly accurate and significantly more efficient, while cutting costs by eliminating paper and manual processing. This technology also enables their distribution centers to instantly receive real-time delivery status as needed, and send new or updated assignments to drivers, wherever they are, within seconds.
