Island-wide foodservice distributor serving 11,000+ customers weekly
Sysco Ireland operates a high-volume distribution network delivering fresh, frozen, and ambient food products across Ireland and the UK from Dublin and eight regional hubs. The hiring mix—heavily weighted toward logistics and ops roles—reflects the operational scale challenge: managing next-day island-wide delivery while modernizing core systems (ERP implementation is active). The tech stack leans traditional (SAP BW, Dynamics 365, Salesforce) with emerging analytics tools (Tableau, Power BI), suggesting a transition from legacy reporting toward faster business intelligence.
