**USA**: Dot Foods has formed a strategic partnership with Crisp to unveil an analytics platform designed to enhance supplier decision-making and operational efficiency. The initiative will provide automated SKU-level data, enabling suppliers to focus on growth and streamline supply chain processes.
Dot Foods has announced a strategic partnership with supply chain data and retail analytics firm Crisp to introduce a new analytics platform known as Crisp at Dot. This initiative aims to provide suppliers with advanced insights to enhance their operational efficiency and decision-making capabilities.
Cullen Andrews, Executive Vice President at Dot Foods, emphasised the company’s ongoing commitment to supporting their supplier partners, stating, “We’re excited to work with Crisp to deliver tools our suppliers have been asking for to help them make faster, more informed decisions.” This collaboration aims to respond to the increasing demand for tools that enable suppliers to identify growth opportunities, manage inventory effectively, and improve overall performance.

With a portfolio of 120,000 products from over 1,500 manufacturers, the company operates 13 distribution centres across the United States.
Crisp, a leader in retail data analytics, aims to bridge the gaps in retail supply chain data, leveraging advanced technology to optimise the flow of goods. With over 6,000 brands trusted to use its platform, the company is dedicated to enhancing visibility and collaboration across the retail sector.
