North American distributor of foodservice, industrial, and janitorial supplies
Imperial Dade operates a network of 12+ million square feet of warehouse space across North America, serving foodservice, healthcare, retail, and government segments. The tech stack reveals a logistics-first operation: Geotab, Omnitracs, and Samsara for fleet/asset tracking, paired with Dayforce for workforce management (now actively adopting). The hiring velocity is accelerating with logistics roles dominating (47 of 111 open positions), signaling pressure to scale distribution capacity while simultaneously re-engaging lost accounts and hitting service-level targets.
