Uno selects ArrowStream to improve supply chain management process
Sep 05, 2009 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) --
ArrowStream, a provider of supply chain solutions for the food industry, has formed a partnership to improve Uno Restaurant Group's supply chain management process throughout its system of 200 company-owned and franchised locations and its Uno Foods division.
Uno Foods supplies airlines, movie theaters, hotel restaurants and supermarkets with frozen and refrigerated private label foods and branded Uno products.
Uno will leverage the ArrowStream Network to reduce costs by optimizing inbound and outbound freight, creating full trucks and reducing the number of empty miles traveled. As the network includes a large percentage of Uno's trading partners, Uno will be able to implement a freight strategy and realize the savings that come from this solution, ArrowStream said.
ArrowStream has also said that the network includes access to more than 2,300 manufacturers, distributors and chain operators. ArrowStream's patented freight optimization capability leverages the volume and routes of these trading partners to reduce costs and enable fluid product movement.
Alan Fox, executive vice president of Uno Restaurant, said: "We expect the ArrowStream Network to help us achieve significant efficiencies and savings while improving our service and inventory levels."
