COSTA MESA, Calif.--SYSPRO, a leading producer of enterprise software, said today that the company is furthering its commitment to the food industry through membership in the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade (NASFT), a not-for-profit business trade association established in 1952 to foster trade, commerce and interest in the specialty food industry.

SYSPRO software, which encompasses Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP); Advanced Planning & Scheduling (APS); E-Commerce; Customer Relationship Management (CRM); Business Analytics, SYSPRO e.net solutions and Inventory Optimization, has over the years enjoyed a growing roster of users among food manufacturers and distributors. In recent years, this list has grown dramatically thanks to new SYSPRO software solutions that cater to the specialized needs of the food industry. Among these are a comprehensive, integrated Trade Promotion and Deductions Management System, which automates supplier initiated trade promotions, and SYSPRO CyberStore, an integrated real-time system that provides out-of-the-box Business-to-Business and Business-to-Consumer E-Commerce functionality.

According to Joey Benadretti, SYSPRO USA President, “SYSPRO’s membership in NASFT is an additional resource for SYSPRO to learn about the needs of food manufacturers and distributors. SYSPRO prides itself on listening to the requirements of its customers and developing solutions that enable them to enjoy added operational efficiencies. For example, SYSPRO listened and developed the cost-effective and highly affordable Trade Promotion and Deductions Management Solution as well as SYSPRO CyberStore, a comprehensive Web ordering capability with automatic links to SYSPRO software.”
