Chicago-based Testa Produce has announced a partnership with Pepper, an e-commerce solution designed for independent food distributors.
The collaboration hopes to revolutionize Testa Produce’s digital ordering capabilities and bolster operational efficiency.
Understanding the necessity of adopting new technology in an evolving market, Testa Produce is taking steps to enhance its customers’ online ordering experience. By collaborating with Pepper, Testa Produce hopes to redefine the dynamics of food distribution in the region.
“Teaming up with Pepper marks a pivotal moment in our company’s evolution,” said Peter Testa, president of Testa Produce.
“Pepper’s comprehensive e-commerce suite enables us to optimize our processes, offer an intuitive online ordering system and, most importantly, deliver increased value to our customers.”
Testa Produce can now use Pepper’s online ordering catalog and payment platform, which the company believes will increase sales, heighten customer retention, improve productivity and expedite its order-to-cash cycle.
“We’re excited to partner with Testa Produce, a company renowned for its commitment to excellence in the produce distribution sector,” said Wes Finch, VP of produce operations at Pepper.
“Together, we aim to amplify their digital footprint, heighten customer satisfaction and foster growth.”
Testa’s customers can expect a revamped digital ordering experience with the roll-out of the Pepper-powered solution. The platform’s design allows customers to navigate product catalogs, place orders and maintain communication with sales representatives.
For more than 110 years, Testa Produce and the Testa family have been serving customers in Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana, distributing fresh fruits and vegetables, including an array of fresh-cut offerings, dairy, meats, seafoods and specialty foods.
Earlier this year, Testa was acquired by the FreshEdge family of companies, broadening its reach and reinforcing its industry standing.
