High Quality Foodservice Demands High Quality IT

By partnering with ITS, the largest privately owned foodservice distributor in North America significantly improved their IT infrastructure, reduced labor costs, and downtime, and improved service to employees, vendors, and customers.

A proven process to implement ServiceNow

Knowing an IT upgrade would significantly help GFS meet their goals, we helped them replace their legacy systems with the solution they had been talking about for years. We quickly got to work in the following areas:

  • Prioritized Planning

“Everybody worked together as an integrated team. If you were coming in from the outside, I don’t think people would have known who was GFS and who was ITS. They are a great group of people to work with.”
