Pet Food Experts was actively looking for a new forecasting and purchasing solution. During that search it received a referral from a current Herlitz Inventory Management client who shared the value of HIMPACT. Therefore, in early 2020, Pet Food Experts included Herlitz Inventory Management in its search and selection process. After narrowing it down to three vendors, HIMPACT rose to the top as the solution with the best overall ROI, features, and benefits.

Brian Wyrostek, Pet Food Experts Director of Inventory Management said, "We carefully evaluated various aspects of multiple solutions and HIMPACT was ultimately selected. We took a long time before deciding between these forecasting and purchasing solutions because of the impact it would have on our operations and bottom line. We are confident HIMPACT is the best choice."

"Similar to many of our grocery customers, Pet Food Experts drives significant demand via promotions and through their biannual trade shows," added Herlitz. "HIMPACT's tools for managing these events with ease appealed to the buying team."

Pet Food Experts Purchasing Manager Phylicia Proulx commented, "My team and I are really looking forward to using HIMPACT. We know this will simplify our buying process and remove the tedious tasks that previously bogged us down. Just in our first week of training, we saw how intuitive and user friendly the interface is. We now have all of the important data points to make decisions quickly is in one place. We look forward to seeing improvements to the entire supply chain, ultimately helping our Vendor partners plan more effectively while continuing to improve service levels for our customers & end consumers."

The Baker family's love of the pet industry began in 1936 when Michael Baker's great-grandfather opened a pet store in the basement of his home, specializing in selling live fish. Over the next 80 years, the business evolved into a chain of independently owned pet stores and grew into a distributor of pet products from coast to coast.
