Every year, members of our leadership team look forward to IFMA’s annual President’s Conference. This year, Chris Hart, Mary Wilson, and Suzanne Cwik (IFMA Next Gen Exec 2025 Cohort) recently joined foodservice industry leaders at the conference to participate in the Tech Showcase and connect with foodservice and food away from home manufacturers on the challenges and innovations driving the industry today.
Data Latency and Real-Time Insights
Across conversations, one theme consistently emerged: the need for real-time solutions that help operators make decisions “in the moment.” Delayed data can hold businesses back in an industry where speed and accuracy are crucial. By addressing data latency head-on, Tibersoft’s Locations Near Me solution is designed to put timely insights at our clients’ fingertips, making it easier to manage inventory, anticipate demand shifts, and optimize operations.
Building Stronger Connections
We were thrilled to reconnect with industry partners like Conagra Brands, Kellanova, Smithfield Foods, The J.M. Smucker Co., and Aspire Bakeries. Hearing firsthand about the goals and challenges facing our partners energizes us and reinforces our commitment to solutions that make a difference.
Sustainable, Profitable Growth:
At the conference, we handed out copies of our very first edition of the Foodservice Insights Magazine, packed with insights, trends, and strategies for foodservice leaders. We also introduced our Recipes for Sustainable Profitable Growth series, with guides on optimizing industry collaboration and precision targeting using solutions like Locations Near Me. These resources offer actionable content to fuel sustainable, profitable growth for food away from home manufacturers.
A Show to Remember
During the conference, IFMA announced their rebrand as The Food Away From Home Association and capped off the event with an unforgettable drone show—a fitting celebration of the innovation and forward-thinking spirit that defines our industry. It was an inspiring close to a conference full of meaningful connections and valuable takeaways.
Thanks to everyone who visited our booth! We’re inspired and ready to keep pushing boundaries in foodservice with you and look forward to building on the conversations started here.
Let’s not wait until next year to talk about how we can help drive sustainable profitable growth together. Book a meeting with the Tibersoft team today.
