Multifoods Distribution Group Selects MIS DecisionWare

MIS AG, an emerging global provider of business intelligence solutions, announced that Multifoods Distribution Group, a distributor of food, packaging and supplies to the foodservice industry and part of International Multifoods Corp, has selected MIS DecisionWare to create and distribute financial reports to its multiple locations throughout the company.

"Companies such as Multifoods Distribution Group serve thousands of clients every day from dozens of locations across the country and need a reliable system to help keep the operations running smoothly," said Anthony Politano, chief executive officer, MIS AG USA. "Multifoods came to us for help with their financial reporting procedures, and we're answering with MIS DecisionWare, which will allow them to generate financial reports in a much more timely, efficient and cost-effective manner than previously possible."

Multifoods Distribution Group was looking for ways to enhance its internal financial reporting capabilities. With MIS DecisionWare's multidimensional platform, Multifoods will be able to take existing data and make it user-friendlier. MIS DecisionWare will give Multifoods' 28 distribution centers the ability to simultaneously access and share financial reports at any time. It also will help Multifoods simplify the financial reporting process, expand the types of reports generated, and provide the reports to each of its locations in a timelier manner.

"MIS DecisionWare leverages our sophisticated Collaborative Analytical Processing (CAP) methodology," said Lisa Laudeman, western regional director of MIS AG. "Unlike traditional business intelligence solutions, MIS AG knows that every person taking part in a decision process is a source of business information to the others. That's why our solutions feature CAP's multi-directional sharing of information that moves decision players from a passive role to the active role of information publisher."

"We were impressed with how MIS AG took the time to answer our questions and address our enterprise analysis and reporting needs," said Scott Dorch, senior business systems analyst at Multifoods Distribution Group.

"Their entire management structure was involved, from the CEO down to sales reps and technical support personnel. MIS AG was willing to work with us in all aspects of our decision-making process."

"I'm really excited about using MIS DecisionWare," commented Dorch. "I believe that many more companies will be making the move toward MIS DecisionWare in the near future. With its great features and benefits, it's tough to beat."
