The company prides itself on its culture of continual improvement which translates into better-trained associates, higher productivity and ultimately, greater profitability for its clients.
"Top supply chain executives continually assess their distribution efficiencies, and at Merit, we couldn't agree more," says Cesar Scolari, Merit CEO. "In fact, we've built our reputation by constantly challenging ourselves to raise the bar on service excellence and MeriTrack Live is a great reflection of this commitment. We're very excited to be able to bring this innovative technology to Gordon Food Service's supply chain."
To ensure a seamless transition, Merit will bring in a professional implementation team as well as a Risk and Safety Manager to hire and train employees. Merit will also employ the company's industry-leading incentive plans as well as the most comprehensive, company-paid benefits in the business. These powerful programs give Merit a competitive advantage that allows the company to attract and retain extremely motivated and driven professionals.
According to SVP Vern Malpass, it's Merit's exceptional associates who truly make the biggest impact on the company's continued growth and success. "We never lose sight of the fact that our greatest resource is the high-caliber associates we hire," says Giuliany. "We truly value our people and that commitment helps produce excellent results for our clients as well."
