NZ food distributor with nationwide cold-chain network and hospitality focus
Service Foods is a 800+-person food distributor across New Zealand with multi-temperature logistics and processing (meat, produce, seafood, butchery). The tech stack reveals a traditional supply-chain operation—Excel, SQL, Sage 300 ERP—now moving toward automation and AI: Vertex AI and RPA are in active use, while an ERP system implementation and AI roadmap sit in the project pipeline. Hiring velocity is accelerating across sales and engineering, signaling a shift toward digital-first operations and ecommerce, though reporting and ERP optimization remain active pain points.
