Specialty food distributor serving Philadelphia-area restaurants since 1915
Julius Silvert is a family-owned food wholesaler built on 110 years of restaurant supply relationships in Philadelphia. The tech stack—Samsara for fleet management, Magento/Adobe Commerce for ecommerce, standard monitoring tools (SolarWinds, Nagios)—reflects a logistics-and-supply-operations focus typical of mid-sized distributors. Active hiring spans operations, logistics, and sales with leadership gaps in HR and transportation, while projects cluster around compliance (FMCSA/DOT, ELDs), supplier optimization, and workforce retention—operational priorities for a distributor scaling headcount in a regulated industry.
Notable leadership hires: Human Resources Director, Transportation Director
Julius Silvert distributes specialty food products—including cheese, charcuterie, and imported goods—to restaurants and hospitality venues across the Philadelphia region. The company operates a hybrid go-to-market: direct sales relationships with established accounts and an ecommerce channel (powered by Adobe Commerce). With 51–200 employees and active headcount growth, the organization is building out operational infrastructure: structured onboarding, leadership development, and formal safety/compliance programs. Current initiatives focus on fleet optimization (route planning, ELD monitoring), supplier relationship management, and inventory efficiency—core levers for margin expansion in a competitive wholesale segment.
Fleet management via Samsara; ecommerce on Magento/Adobe Commerce; infrastructure monitoring with SolarWinds and Nagios; analytics via Google Analytics 4; core productivity tools are Microsoft Office and Excel.
